ADSR5

Okay, so I’m a little late on posting my LOs.  If life could get anymore busy, I’d think I’d lose my mind.  I’m trying to slow down, but it’s very difficult.  Why do I have to be a go getter?  LOL

Here are my LOs -

It's a new season for the Amazing Digiscrapping Race. I have completed the first 5 Challenges.  Yes, I said 5.  It’s taken me that long to post them.  LOL

 

The first challenge was to do a layout about your partner while also scraplifting a layout of your partners. The bottom layout is my LO about Patricia.  I did a very simple LO, but I think it’s beautiful, just like her.  For this LO, I used Estranged by Flergs.  I lifted this LO by Patricia.

The second challenge was to create a layout with 5 photos. One photo must contain the number 5. The theme of the layout is 5 Things I Love About... I chose my teaching.  In addition to 5 photos, we have to use 5 different fonts/alphas and include 5 of the same element types. Mine has 5 stitches. 

5 fonts/alphas - Alphas: Tinker Toy, Ice Storm, and Appletini by Flergs, Fonts: Hobbes & Eight Fifteen
5 Photos - 4 of children, and 1 big #5
5 Different Elements of same type - 5 stitches from Tinker Toy by Flergs
Season of Taste - Play, Fun, and Laugh Labels from Tinker Toy by Flergs; Sticky, Sweet, and Stinky Label by Traci Reed
Oh and the 5 things - those would be the kiddos - brynley, violet, mattie, lydia & lili

 

Challenge 3 was to create a layout with selective coloring of a photo, journaling with at least 20 words and a date element. You can't just put the date on the layout, you have to actually use an element to create the date. The photo I used is one that I took while Cayden was having a play in the rain day.  There were a couple weeks where it rained EVERYDAY here in Austin.  I finally gave in and let him play in the rain.  The kit I used is Rolicking by Lliella Designs.  I used a date stamp for my date element.  It’s a freebie by Jenn. 

Challenge 4.  When I first saw what it was, my response to Patricia was, “ICK!”  Challenge 4 is to create Artist Trading Cards. I really don’t care for ATC because many of them are ephemera type layouts. I’m just not really into that type of scrapping. To be honest with you, I think they are weird and don’t understand the point of them.  But like Patricia mentioned, it seemed the only thing that was going to make these ATC was the size, which had to be 3.5x2.5.   Each of use have to do 2 cards. One card needed to be about something we love & the other card needed to be about our partner. Both LOs were created with Estranged by Flergs.  The cross is by Beth Turner.

Challenge 5

The challenge is as follows: 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

For this LO I used Choco Berry Love Reload by Flergs.  And I have 2+ papers, 2 frames, 1 button, Flowers, a ribbon/bow, a tag, and a chocolate covered strawberry.

Challenge 6 was to be completed by only one of us.  I let Patricia do it.  LOL – Thanks, Patricia!! :)  She did an awesome job.  I’ll let her post all about it!

Challenge 5

Here is my layout for challenge 5. The challenge was posted at Pretty Scraps. The challenge is as follows: 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

I actually have 7 items from the list-ribbon, button, 2 (or more)papers, flower, stitching, tag and alpha. The challenge layout isn't up yet, so here is the credits for my layout: Sugar Baby by Valorie Brown Designs, Alpha Fill a bit Heart by Sherri Teirney, flower made by me from a template by Christy Haig, stitches made by me from Atomic Cupcake action, font franciscan. The photo is my husband and me. We will celebrate our 19th anniversary this summer. It's been 19 very happy years. We don't have near enough pictures taken together. I'm always the one behind the camera.

Challenge 4

I will be the first to admit that I wasn't thrilled about challenge 4. I started to freak just a little bit before I finished reading the requirements, but then calmed down. Challenge 4 is to create Artist Trading Cards. I started to freak because most ATC are ephemera type layouts. I don't have anything like that. As I read further, it seemed the only thing that was going to make these ATC was the size, which had to be 3.5x2.5. I can manage that. Each of use have to do 2 cards. One card needed to be about a loved one and the other card needed to be about our partner. We have already done a layout about are partner, so this part is a little redundant and the challenge creators have taken a lot of flack for this. Oh well. At least I already had the photo, so I could get started. Here are my 2 layouts. The top one is about Rose and the bottom one is my husband and I at our Valentines day dinner that actually took place on the 13th (we don't go out to eat on the sabbath) at Joe's Crab Shack. I used the same kit for both of these layouts. It's called Our Story by Armina Designs, but I don't remember where I bought it. The font I used is called Fiolex Girls. Our ATCs have to be made into a single page and uploaded together, so now I just have to wait for Rose to finish so I can upload our cards together.

Challenge 3

Challenge 3 was to create a layout with selective coloring of a photo, journaling with at least 20 words and a date element. You can't just put the date on the layout, you have to actually use an element to create the date. This is a photo of my son, Jeremy, that was taken at the Bob Bullock museum when my dad was here last month. He is in color while the background is in black and white. The kit I used is called April Showers. It is a collaborative kit from Groovy Scraps. The font is called Pea Ink.

Season 5 begins

It's a new season for the Amazing Digiscrapping Race. I have completed the first 2 challenges. The first challenge was to do a layout about your partner while also scraplifting a layout of your partners. The bottom layout is my LO about Rose. I just stated how we met. We met a few years ago at Make It Scrappy. We were both on creative teams there. Later, we started designing for the same scrapbooking site. We live only a few miles away from each other. This is our 3rd year doing ADSR. The credits for the layout have a link to Rose's LO that I scraplifted.

The second challenge was to create a layout with 5 photos. One photo must contain the number 5. The theme of the layout is 5 Things I Love About... I chose my family. In addition to 5 photos, we have to use 5 different fonts/alphas and include 5 of the same element types. Mine has 5 flowers.

Week one is done, now on to week 2.
