The Scrappy Doos

Challenges 11 and 12

2007-08-26T15:56:00.000-04:00

Nothing like putting things off until the last minute again. Here are my last two LOs for the ADSR2. I'm facing the end of the race with mixed feelings. Part of me is glad it's over, and the other part is going to be sad come Monday morning when I don't have a new challenge to do.

The kit for both is Grannie's Keepsakes by Punky's Pixels. The fonts are Bix Antique Script (#11), Helmsley & Matura MT Script (#12). The second one is a scraplift of Chelsea's challenge #4.

ADSR2 Challenge #9

2007-08-13T18:04:00.000-04:00

So you want to know about my most embarrassing moment, do you? I remember it well. I was a million months pregnant with my last baby and in my last week of work. I felt big as a house, my ankles were swollen, and I had other gastric issues from the baby taking up all that room. One afternoon I got a call to go up to the VP’s office. I was too worn out to take the stairs, so I waited took the elevator. As I was waiting for the doors to open, I could feel an urge to pass gas, but I was able to hold it back. When the doors opened, I got into an empty elevator, thank God, and, as soon as the doors closed, I let it rip. It was loud, it echoed, and it didn’t smell all too pretty either. The doors opened on the second floor, and I started to walk out. For some reason, I turned as I exited, and standing in the corner was a man I hadn’t noticed.

ADSR2 Challenge #8

2007-08-12T13:36:00.000-04:00

I finished just finished my eighth challenge. Week 4 is done, there's just 2 weeks left to the race. This time we needed to scrap about Girl Talk. My LO features a shower we threw for our best friend, Holly to celebrate her new boobs. Another friend scornfully called it a "celebration to vanity", but if you can't celebrate vanity with your best friends, they're not very good friends. The kit is Pour Me Another by Khristy Schmidt. I've been dying to use this one! The word art is by Rose Made Designs and the font is called James Fajardo.

ADSR2 Challenge #7

2007-08-07T14:17:00.000-04:00

ADSR2 Challenge #7 was generously hosted by Blue Flombingo. Our challenge this time was to choose one paper and include at least 10 pictures. Then we had to send the LO to our partner to finish it up. The trick comes in if you don't have the same kit. Then, to protect copyright, you needed to send the flattened .jpg. Fortunately, Chelsea is also on Karie's CT and Karie so thoughtfully provided us with some new material to work with, so we both chose to use Southern Belle (available at Seaside Scraps). The font I used on Chelsea's layout is Blomster.

#5 is DONE

2007-08-05T20:17:00.000-04:00

Challenge #6: Roadblock

2007-08-04T23:15:00.000-04:00

Challenge #6, hosted by Elemental Scraps, was a Roadblock, meaning only one member could complete the task. I volunteered to do this one. We had to do a messy layout, which was really hard for me at first, with at least 15 elements, no more than two by the same designer. Well, once you stick 15 elements by different designers in there, things get messy all by themselves. I'm proud to say we have 17 elements from 13 designers, plus 1 element by me. Without further ado, here's the LO:

Here's Challenge #5

2007-08-04T01:59:00.000-04:00

I finally completed my fifth challenge. Boy am I cutting it close this week! I signed up to do our Roadblock for Challenge #6, so guess what I need to finish tomorrow. What exactly is a messy LO?

Anyway, challenge #5 was generously hosted by Butternug Squash. Thanks girls! We needed to journal from the heart. Mine is a two page LO. Both pages are done with the new Punky's Pixels kit "Up, Up and Away" available at Seaside Scraps. The font in the first one is Bookworm; the font in the second is French Script.

Week 2 Is Almost Over

2007-07-27T01:27:00.000-04:00

We got our second challenge for week two, scrap something featuring the letter G and the word Goal. I know they meant to scrap about your personal goals, but that wasn't specifically mentioned, and personally that's not my scrapping style. So I decided to stretch the theme a little bit. lol That's me, always bucking authority. The kit is Starlight by Jenny's Scrap Place and the font is Bend It.

Challenge #3 - A Fairy Tale

2007-07-23T12:38:00.000-04:00

They posted the latest challenge really early yesterday, and I was able to jump right on it. In spite of my little Benedryl problem (long story, but it's on my blog if you want to read it), I managed to get it finished before I went to bed. I just didn't have the energy to actually upload it anywhere, until now. The kit is Lazy Autumn Dayz by Scrapz by Mz. Cora. The font is Freehand Script.

The Pumpkin Patch

Once upon a time a little girl named Caitlyn lived with her mom and dad, her brothers and sister, in a Southern land ruled by a giant mouse [note: I kill myself sometimes, lol]. One day Mommy drove them to a place with strange orange things all over the ground. Mommy sat her down in the middle of some scratchy stuff, so she tried to walk away, only to be put back. Finally she did "cheese" so Mommy would leave her alone.

After that they walked around the orange things. Caty noticed some where small enough to pick up. She stooped to get one, then another, then one more.

"Caitlyn, don't throw the pumpkins on the ground!"

Caty was upset. The naughty pumpkins were jumping out of her arms. She wasn't throwing them.

Finally Mommy found the "perfect" pumpkins and put them on top of the microwave when they got home to "keep them safe." But Caitlyn had other ideas. She didn't know when or how, but she was going to get those big orange balls one day soon.

The End

(for now)

I can't wait to see our fourth challenge on Sunday. Thanks to KB & Friends for hosting this leg of the race and their beautiful participation gift.

Here's My First Challenge for ADSR2

2007-07-16T17:53:00.000-04:00

Is that my template, Chelsea? lol I didn't even recognize it. She made it look much better than the template, I think. Still, if anyone wants it, it's available on my blog for free. And if you scroll down to here, there's another one too. But enough self promotion. Here's my LO for the first challenge of the ADSR2 - Museums. I think it's funny that Chelsea and I used the same kit. We didn't even plan it that way. rofl

The kit is Tuscany by Punky's Pixels. The font is Parade.

Challenge # 1- Museums
