Completed!

I love marking things off my "list" I completed my goal to participate in all of the challenges at Stuff to Scrap this month (with the exception of the Scrap Lift Challenge. . I didn't get signed up in time! There's always next month)

My final challenge was the Font Challenge. We had to use the font Susie's Hand. If you don't have that font, go to Abstract Fonts and get it. Did I mention that Abstract Fonts is my FAVORITE website for free fonts???

Here is my layout:

Roxy

Eva Marina Scraps has come out with a new kit named "Roxy" It is awesome. It has 20 papers, 51 embellishments and a full alphabet! The kit is 30% off in the store, so it is a STEAL! Head on over to the Stuff to Scrap store to pick it up.

Here are some of the layouts I did with the kit.

Check out the other members of Eva's Creative Team (see the links on my side bar) to see how they used the kit!

"Use it or Lose it" and "Slogan" Challenges

This layout completes the requirement for the "use it or lose it" challenge at Stuff to Scrap. We were able to download a mini kit, but we HAD to use everything form the kit in the LO. I really liked the papers in the kit, but I thought the embellishments were a little y for the photos I chose!

Motto/Slogan Challenge and Challenge Update

I worked on my digi scrapping today. It's been too long! I decided I needed to kick my bottom into gear if I was going to get all the challenges done before the end of the month!

I worked on the Motto Challenge. The motto was "I'm a big kid now" Here is what I came up with:
Only 2 more challenges to complete. The "Use it or lose it" and the "Font" challenge. I have not received the kit I am supposed to use for the Use it of Lose it challenge, so I may not make that one this month, but my fingers are crossed!

Theme Challenge

Here is the LO I did for the Theme Challenge over at Stuff to Scrap. The theme was "Mothers" In this picture we have my grandma, my mom, myself and my son. 3 of us are mothers and there are 4 generations which is pretty cool.


Seriously, I am having so much fun with these challenges!

Color Challenge and update

This month, over at Stuff to Scrap (where else???) the color challenge was to use red, brown and orange. I liked how subtle the red is in this layout. The text and the flower on the background cream paper. I'm such a red girl that I figured the red would dominate, but I am really happy with how it turned out. There are only 4 more challenges for me to finish before I meet my goal of participating in all the challenges! I was not able to participate in the Scrap-lift Challenge since you had to sign up at the first of the month and I was not aware, so I will try to catch that one next month. These challenges have really helped me with my digi- scrapping. Now if I just had more time. . . .

Speed Scrap

This was my favorite speed scrap to date. To participate in the speed scraps, head on over to Stuff to Scrap.

Here is the Speed Scrap Schedule for the rest of May. Please note, ALL times are in EST since that's the time zone I am in!

• Monday May 18th 3pm EST
• Wednesday May 20th 8pm EST
• Sunday May 24th 3pm EST
• Thursday May 28th 1pm EST

Here were the instructions for this speed scrap:

1. Choose two patterned papers and one solid paper. Place the solid paper as your background.

2. Choose one photo. We are gonna do selective coloring on this photo (if you are not sure how to do this, then visit this tutorial: http://www.brighthub.com/multimedia/photography/articles/9796.aspx). Choose the part of the photo you want to leave colored and then turn the rest of the photo black and white (feel free to play with blending modes and filters and whatnot to spice up the black and white).

3. Shape the patterned papers into ONE CIRCLE and ONE SQUARE or RECTANGLE and place them on your layout in a position where they are touching in some way.

4. Once you have your photo just the way you like it, duplicate it at LEAST ONCE (feel free to duplicate it as many times as you like). Then place the photo's on your layout (these can be touching or not, your choice).

5. Use any elements you want to frame at least one of your photos. You can use anything but a frame. It doesn’t have to be all the way around the photo(s) but at least on TWO sides.

6. Add five elements to your page, but make sure one is at least partway behind the circle. You may duplicate those five elements as many times as you like.

7. Title your layout using ONE word (or name). Add journaling and date if you like. You have one hour to upload your layout to the gallery and link it back to the forum so we can all give you some love. Make sure you upload under your USERNAME and put SS in the keywords!!
