Freaky Friday Challenge 2/5/2010

From Stephanie....

In keeping with our family's love of word-play (see today's QOTD), this week's challenge is to use an advertising slogan as your main title/journaling element. It's OK to tweak the slogan to make it fit your picture.  Also, use only one large photo and some buttons.

 

The journaling strips/title on my layout quotes our ds' actual Facebook status the day after his son was born.  When I read his status that day, I knew it had to be scrapbooked.  :) I took this picture the first time our ds held his ds.

 

Supplies: Paper:  Studio 8 Paper Company - Dinosaur Land Collection (Fossil, Brontosaurus, Jurassic, & T. Rex); CS - Georgia Pacific; Buttons - MM (In Bloom); Lettering:  American Crafts Thickers - Subway, Computer Font - Eurostile; Adhesives:  Glue Glider Pro, Gossy Accents, Xyron, Zots Glue Dots; Misc:  DMC floss, chipboard, Nestabilities Label 3; Design inspired by Pagemaps Jan. 2010

Freaky Friday 11/13

Time for another Freaky Friday Challenge!  We've all got the holidays on our minds, and many of us are in the throes of preparing our homes for the hungry masses. Make a page documenting these holiday preparations.  Post your page in the gallery, then link back to the forum. Have fun!

This page uses the BG Indian Summer line, Thickers (recognize them?), Bazzill chips, and Rock Candy.

Freaky Friday Challenge 10/9/2009

It's that time again!!
A new Freaky Friday layout challenge!!!
This week is "easy" -
this week's challenge is to use your punches and create the background to a layout.
You can do this in a number of ways - several ideas come to mind.
I am gonna work on something for this after dinner tonight.

Okay- got some questions, so I will try and clarify.

• You are being asked to use the punches to create a background to your layout.
• You can use any punch. You can punch stuff and glue it on in some pattern.
• You can use a punched sheet like a template.
• You can make an overlay...be creative.

By way of a sample, I made this card (you are to make a layout though).
I used two sided cardstock. I cut it the size of the card, I punched the flower image in a border type pattern and when the card is closed you see the solid underneath show through creating the look. I personally like this card cause I can use it horizontal or vertical. This is plain, but I add a stamp or matted sentiment to it. You can decorate with buttons and stuff. I opened the card to show the back of the cover, so you see the punched spaces clearer.
Get it now??
You could easily punch a design into one sheet and lay it over another for the same effect on a layout- play with your punches a bit and see what you come up with.

Hmmm, whatcha think I want to make this challenge all about??
If you guessed FOOD, you are RIGHT! HAHA:) been talking about it all week so now you get to scrap it- consider this your FIRST Fall into Scrapping Online Crop layout of the weekend!! (but you still have until next Friday to submit it)

Challenge- do a food based layout, could be birthday cake, summer cookout, making holiday cookies anything with the focus on FOOD, but you must use 3 sheets of PP and some bling in your layout! Okay?? Easy! Let's see what you all create! Have fun!

The FF challenge is die cut paper. Use it as the base of your layout like cardstock, cut in half, do what ever you like. If you don't have a die cut paper - cut a shape out of cardstock. I love using the die cut shaped papers. Looking forward to seeing what unique way you use it.
Here's my example:

Finishing off this week of labor related topics......
Create a layout about "Labor"....any kind of labor - work, a labor of love, laboring over a layout...

Here's mine - because I did not have a picture of my office, I used "real labor" the birth of my grandson Brennan - poor Cara, no epidural with this one - low platelets...

TFS! Dee

Congratulations to Jenn for winning this weeks challlenge!

Freaky Friday Challenge 9/4/2009

This week's challenge involves using the product of the week on a layout. Let's see a layout with at least 2 separate stamped items, using two different techniques. Here are a few ideas to get your creativity flowing:

~Stamp your title on scraps of cardstock and arrange them on your LO with some of the letters pop dotted for dimension.
~ Stamp a journaling block. Instead of an ink pad, use markers to apply color directly to your stamp. This allows you to use different colors on the same stamp with accuracy.
~Make an embellishment by layering several stamped flowers.
~stamp a flourish with versamark and then heat emboss. (we have some awesome embossing powders in the store!) Then fussy cut around the flourish, leaving a tiny border. Use it as an embellishment.
~Try the masking technique I showed on Tuesday!

Thanks!!

This week, we're switching gears from layouts to cards. This challenge will push you out of your standard card making and hopefully be challenged by scores! You are to use your Top Score Multi Board or other scoring device and create a card that has at least 2 score lines resulting in at least 2 folds.

Here's the link for the Top Score Multi Board http://www.acbaileydesigns.net/product_p/cctop1.htm

You can create a gate fold, a trifold, an accordion fold or stair step card. Take a look in our Card Center forum and in the gallery for some terrific ideas from our design team and check back here for some examples this evening.

Score big with this challenge!

Freaky Friday Challenge: 7/10/09

I have been working on a Wedding album and using paper from my stash - and I have been thinking that we've been using a lot of Red, White and Blue lately, so I am going in the opposite direction

Create a layout that has NO Color (except for the photos, or not) - black, whites, beiges, grays (it's looks better than it sounds - you'll be surprised!)

Link back to this post and a winner will be drawn next Thursday!!!
Thanks!
