Here's my LO for Challenge #5 and I FINALLY beat Maria done!!!! Is it weird that I get such a charge out of that?? Probably. Here are the instructions for Challenge #5:

Pretty Scrappy Recipe Challenge

The requirements for this challenge are fairly simple. Follow the guidelines being as creative as possible using the recipe below. You can incorporate other items into your layout, but you must use at least 6 of the items listed. Since this is the month of Valentine's Day, your special challenge is to incorporate CHOCOLATE into your layout. So, 6 items in the recipe and chocolate!

* 1 ribbon * 1 tree * 1 button * 1 staple * 2 papers * 1 set of stitching * 1 frame * 1 tag * 1 flower * 1 alpha

and here's my LO:

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.

Maria has the instructions listed below her layout. Here's mine:

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.

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!
