Calvinball

What is Calvinball?

Calvinball is a scrapbooking and crafting challenge. The rules change as the month progresses and it’s a fun way to get inspired to use your supplies and make some layouts/projects.

How was Calvinball inspired?
inspired by the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip by Bill Watterson.

In the comic the main character, Calvin, is a young boy with a big imagination. His best friend is his stuffed tiger, Hobbes. Calvin sees Hobbes as a living, breathing tiger. These two best friends have many adventures together and one of them is Calvinball.

Calvinball is a game invented by Calvin. It’s kind of a mash up of sports games, with rules that are constantly changing as Calvin and Hobbes play it. They award points somewhat randomly and it’s a race to the finish… whatever that may be.


Ok ladies -

Ever heard of it??

Tell me what you know about it. Have you ever participated in one? What are your thoughts on it?

I registered for it, but felt overwhelmed. There is so much going on, so many posts and so many people. I had a hard time keeping up. I just gave up.

[Krystle]

I have never heard of it used in a scrapbooking context.

[Patti]

Very confusing.

[Tamara]

I've never heard of it. Sounds like it would be a lot keeping up but does sound fun

[Tracy F]

Sounds interesting. Can't say I've ever heard of it.

BTW, I love Calvin & Hobbes
