Challenges 5 & 6

OK, this week just about wupped me!
Challenge 5 is fine - I love to journal, so this was not difficult at all. My only major challenge was finding that paper. I knew I had it somewhere, but it took me forever to find it. I really need to organize my supplies sometime!

Challenge 6 was wicked. My partner asked me to do it. Notice all my other layouts are fairly linear, and relatively plain. I don't know what to do with elements. I try to add them, but it looks like the Element Shotgun is using my page for target practice with a drunk gunner! This challenge required the use of 15 - let me say that again - 15 - elements. I could only use 2 elements from a designer. Since I rely of freebies, this was pretty intense. I think it came out ok. Not pretty, but enough to get the job done!

Challenge 4

This one really hit home for me at this time in my life. There is a lot going on that is totally out of my control. Being honest with myself and forcing myself to journal this was challenging for me. I am going to print this off and hang it in both my home office and my cube at work.

Challenge 3

The Queen's 3 Wishes is my official entry. But the other one was one I made before I really read the requirements. Both of these layouts were HUGE stretches for me. I had never done one of the pop out photos before. I thought it turned out well for my first time!
The second one was way beyond my comfort zone. Most of my layouts would be considered minimalist. I used the extractions of my daughters, I created the "pillows" out of another paper, I extracted the flower embellishments from another paper. It was also the first time I had used multiple fonts in a layout. I was pretty proud of this one!

Second challenge

This one was a collaboration.
We had to use the color red, flowers, doodle, friendship and 2 photos.
Here is what my partner and I came up with.

We had a great time "chatting" on Yahoo Messenger one evening. We had it completed the next day. My partner is awesome - we really compliment each other. I am great with journaling and she is great with embellishments.

Challenge 1 done

I finally was able to complete my first entry for the ADSR! I had a lot of fun completing it.
This challenge was to use the topic of museum and include the word "amazing" in the layout. I did a different take on museum - I used the Library of Congress. I love to read and it had been a life long desire to see the Library of Congress and just smell all those books! While I did not get to go into one of the reading rooms (had to have an appointment to do that), I did sneak a look when someone else went in. There were a lot of displays about various authors, printing technology, etc. I would love to go back with out children or spouse and just spend a full day there exploring.

Get Ready, Get Set...

I am stepping out of my comfort zone and have entered the Amazing Digital Scrapping Race 2! I am not sure my partner will think this is a great thing, but I am sure we are going to have fun.
We are The Silk Road Scrappin Mamas. The name was derived from the fact that we are both moms to beautiful childrne born in China, as well as referencing the ribbon of road that connects our 2 cities. Both of us are relatively new to digital scrapping, so we thought we would be good partners.
The race officially starts on the 16th - so here is to doing my warm ups!
