WOYWW #423

What's on my Work-desk? Today, you would have found my desk filled with a lot of red, white and blue, plus pictures filed with memories for a life time. This is a paper layout for the inspirational challenge listed in stage 1 of the SCS VSBN "Tour de' France" challenges.

Rockin' The Disney Boat - March's Progressive Page

 

Here is my take for March - Task 1 

Note: Although dimensions stated are for a 12x12 page, feel free to make any size you prefer. We'll be using one photo for this layout.

-Start with a base paper (paper #1). It can be plain or have a light pattern.

-Add paper #2 (approx.6"x12") on top of base layer (paper #1). Offset it so it is about 2"-2 ½" up from bottom edge.

-Add a photo (approx. 4"x6") on upper left area of the page, that's mostly on paper #2, but overlaps up onto paper #1 a little. Mat the photo, making mat a bit larger than the photo (1/2"-3/4") and offset the mat a little to one side. (Don't forget shadows where applicable.)











Task 2 - This is my take on step 2 of this months progressive page challenge. I chose a solid accent strip, because I still want the primary focus to be the photo. 

June Progressive #3

for Task 3, we were suppose too...

1. Add a border strip approx.. ¼ - ½” wide along the edge of one or both photos on right. Border can be a

2. Add a second border strip on the lower left edge of the rectangular paper.

3. Add some journaling beneath the right lower photo/rectangular paper.

That's it for this week!
trim, paper, zigzag, lace, anything of that sort.

June Progressive #2

for our second week of the June challenge, she says it's easy peasy! Well for me, the digi world is still a challenge, I couldn't even figure out how to slant my photo. :) But HEY! I am attempting to try this digi thing again...

TASK 2:

1. Add a 3/4” – 1” ribbon across the full width of the page. It will go over the rectangular strip and about 6” down.

2. Add 4 framed photos in the center of page—2 on top, 2 beneath, creating a box-like effect.

3. Tip one of the photos slightly.

That's it for this week!

June Progressive #1

This challenge will use 4 photos.

1. Start with a 12” base paper—this should be a solid or patterned paper, although only a small amount of pattern will show. [A color darker than
   
   paper in step “2” is suggested.]
2. Add a paper on top that is approx. 11” (or if using a different size than 12x12, make this layer ½” smaller on all four sides.) [A color lighter than base paper and not too busy is suggested.] Add shadow.
3. About 5”down from page top and approx. 2” from left edge, place a piece of paper that is approx. 8-8 ½’ w. x 3” h. (plain or patterned ). Add shadow.

That's it for this week!

"Cracking The Case" Crop & Shop

We had a big mystery party Saturday for our crop & shop. The Theme was "Cracking the C.A.S.E." All we were allowed to bring with us was two simply scrappin' kits, one spool of matching ribbon and brads, photos, a old mini catalog and white or vanilla card stock. For the first part of the day or challenge was to find a scrapbook page in our old catalog that we liked and case it. But the catch was we had to "crack it" by solving the clues.... A little at a time! (We had to build our page a little at a time, just like a good old fashioned progressive page. First we made a 6x6, then 8 1/2 x11, followed up by making that into a 12x12, then finishing up by adding a second page. We had a lot of fun... The Hostess added in little fun mystery trivia games that kept the party alive and active. For the second part of the day...our challenge was to start at the beginning of our old mini catalog, page by page and if we liked what we saw then we were to case it! Using only the supplies that we had brought with us. Everyone needs try this, at least just once... I got so many goodies made, not all of them were scrapbook layouts, but still fun. One thing, I might add is that we had access to the hostess' big shot, die cuts and punches. Keywords: sbc14jan STASH14Jan2

PROGRESSIVE CHALLENGE 8 - TASK 1 (JAN. 2013)

  Today is a scrapping day, so I went and checked out some of  the new challenge that are floating around on Split Coast Stampers. I choose to take the  PROGRESSIVE PAGE CHALLENGE. For those of you who don't know what a progressive page challenge is...  

"The object is to complete one page over the course of four weeks by following instructions given in tasks posted each week. On the first Tuesday of each month, Task 1 will be posted, consisting of instructions for starting a scrapbook page that will then be built upon through additional instructions each week for a total of 4 weeks (Tasks 1-4.). The idea is to work along with the challenge as the tasks are being announced weekly, each task to be completed & posted prior to starting on the next task. (Once you post a week’s results, you’re finished. Don’t change your work for that week’s task.) At the end of the fourth week, you should have a completed page! It’s fine to start late or catch up if you miss a week(s). Just be sure to complete & post each task before you look at or start the next one. It’s more fun that way!"


 So here is my layout for task #1.

  The colors I have chosen to work with this week are... Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Vanilla

Scrapbooking 101 - Class #1 (Scrapbooking Overview)

I find that when starting at square one with a lot of new and beginning scrappers that it is easier to start with a progressive page.
