Challenge #26
This weeks's challenge is all about FEARS. We all have them, they may be silly (Did you see the Maury Povich episode about the girl who was afraid of Pickles??!!!) or they may be debilitating. Maybe you have overcome a fear recently, or have acquired a new fear...tell us about it!
Challenge #26:
What is or are your biggest fear(s)? Do you think you can overcome it or is it just something that will stick with you no matter how hard you try to let go?

This week our wonderful Guest Designer is Tina Albertson!
A bit about Tina:
Scrapbooking to me is such a passion. I want the “small” stuff to matter, to be remembered, because too quickly those “little” memories can fade. Through scrapbooking I can preserve all those memories for future generations. I also NEED that creative outlet!!!
My scrapbooking style? I still haven’t figured that one out. My layouts are usually linear with a little bit of clutter, lol. Is that a style?!!! I usually like the focus to be on the pictures and journaling.
My favorite things to do while scrapbooking is listening to the playlist on my iPOD and eating peanut M & M’s. I also have a hard time concentrating so I take lots of breaks to get on-line and gather inspiration from some of my favorite artists.
I am one lucky girl to design for Pink Paislee, whose product never ceases to inspire me!
I am so happy that The Design Experiment has asked me to be a guest designer….I love nothing more than a GREAT challenge!!!

Why Am I Afraid?
By Tina Albertson
Journaling:
When Chad did a job working for the railroad a little over a year ago, I knew I would have to overcome my fear of staying alone in our house all night. Almost a year later, I still find myself terrified, unable to sleep, fearful of the little "What if's..." Why can't I get over this? I'm 31 years old for crying out loud! It's time to be a "Big Girl" and get over this ridiculous fear. After all, he only has 30 years left until retirement..
((Tina's layout will return shortly! It's been picked up for publication, CONGRATS Tina!!!))

What If...
By Leslie
Journaling:
Can't believe it's REALLY here! It is going to fly by.
Before I know it, you're off to college. A world all
your own. {What if} I haven't prepared you? {What if}
you get lost? {What if} you get confused? {What if}
I haven't taught you all you need to know? That
my dear, will always be my fear....
Even though I know you'll really know what to do~
who to call~where to go....
But - do you?
I love you, Mom.

{Fear}
By Amy
Journaling:
Nobody prepared me for how fearful I'd be when I became a mom. I worry about the two of you constantly. I'll do anything to ensure that you are healthy and happy, because my biggest fear is that you won't be.

Biggest Fears
By Sasha
Journaling:
My biggest fear is that we experience another Black Tuesday my biggest fear is that because Osama Bin Laden is still a threat and that we, the Armed Forces have not found him, because we were sidetracked elsewhere … I fear that he will strike again. My biggest fear isthat this terrorist attack will go unpunished and I am not quite sure how to deal with that.
