Challenge #10
Here's is our combined LO for the ADSR. Maria gets credit for the layout... I just added my eye and Drew's picture. :)
Challenge 9 - this one took a while
I had a tough time coming up with this at first... then WHAMMO! But, I think Maria was peekiing over my shoulder as I was making this and she was starting challenge 10. When we post it you'll see why.
Here's my LO
Here's my LO
Maria's layouts Challenge 5,6, 7 & 8
wow am I behind I haven't posted one of my layouts since challenge 4! Well I've been busy getting famous.. right Cara? ;-) My layout of Cara for Challenge 1 was selected to be in the March 2010 issue of The Artisan Notebook.
Now onto my layouts..Challenge 5 The Candy Man - he's so evil I hate him!
Challenge 6 - 10 things I like about me ((I hated this challenge))
Challenge 8 - The "Someday" Challenge I finished this before challenge 7 so you have to see it first *wink*
Now for Challenge 7 this broke all kinds of records with me. 7 hours planning time and 15 hours design time..My Bucket List
I am also doing March Madness at Scrap Orchard and I just signed up for Survivor at Ginger Scraps.
See if you can figure out who I am at Scrap Orchard, even Cara can't figure it out. I don't know if that's good or bad. I'm one of the first 15 people that posted in Challenge 1 and my secret user name starts with a number, not SO.
Happy Scrapping

Challenge #8
Ooops - I was a little delinquent posting my challenge #8 LO. This one was hard for me -- I was stressing out over what I was going to do. As my eyes were drifting around my desk, it came to me. I saw this picture of Zena. Then it came flooding out of me. And WOW! was it an emotional journey for me. Here's my layout:
I did it again...
I should've added it as one of my Bucket List goals... beating Maria finished on a challenge. :) Not that it's the reason I'm doing this challenge by any stretch, but she' so FAST that I feel like I won the lottery or something when I get a LO done before her. She'll probably come post hers and it'll blow mine away. *sigh*

Challenge 4 - Maria
I had a job to do and I got the job done! This challenge was so different from anything I have done. We had to make what they called "Trading Cards" I have no idea why anyone would need layouts this size or what they do with them. The examples that were shown were so NOT my cup of tea, so I did what I like, in the size they asked for.
Card one has to be about "the one you love"
here's mine
Card two has to be about your "teammate"
I send Cara some of my Disney pictures so we can have the same theme going. Can't wait to see what she does with this crazy challenge.

Challenge #2 LO !!!
Whew! I'm rockin' now... back in the grove of scrappin'! Hooray!!! Here's my 2nd challenge LO.
Challenge 2 - Maria
This one made me just as crazy as the first one... I haven't done a countdown time layout before.. and to be "creative" about it was hard. I didn't want to do 5 things I love about my son because I do almost all my layouts about him. My cousin Chris suggested I do a layout about why I love sleep! Maybe because I get so very little these days...LOL But I went with the idea from to my friend Liz.
If you'd like to leave me some love, click here
Here are the directions we had to follow
Theme: 5 things I LOVE about....(choose a person, topic, idea, etc. Be Creative!)
Title: use a combination of 5 fonts and/or alphas (example: use 2 different fonts and 3 different alphas)
Photos: use 5 photos, one of the photos must have the number 5 in it!
Use 5 different elements of the same type (example: use 5 different flowers or 5 different buttons, etc.)
Season to taste: add ingredients from your digital pantry to make this layout your own!
Ok Cara... Your 5 things are next!

The first race was posted...
and is as follows:
1) Your layout is about your partner. Introduce your partner to us. How you do this is entirely up to you. You can interview them, you can send them a questionnaire, you can use 5 words that best describe them, you can journal how you met for this race, or if you've been partners for years, you can make your page about a friendship that started with a crazy internet race and has since turned into so much more. The only rule is, the layout is about your partner and you need to tell us something about them.
2) You must include at least one photo of your partner. Large, small, color, b&w, of their face, back of their head, feet, whatever. But it must be a picture of your partner.
3) You must choose one layout from your partner's gallery and scraplift that as the page design for your layout. Only the placement of items is needed. You don't have to lift the colors, theme, etc. Just the overall placement of papers, elements, title and journaling.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I've changed what I was doing about 4 times already! I shouldn't be making it this hard on myself. I hope to work on it tonight!
