SCRAPPING UPDATE

Hi there,

Wow, I have been having so much fun over at http://www.scrap-friendzy.com where I am attending the SCRAP U this month.

As you know by now, we have to do daily and weekly assignments. I have learnt so much already. It really challenges you to use old photos and to try out stuff you have never used or done before. I still have a few assignments to complete where lots of paint and stuff is involved..

Here are all the badges I have earned so far... I am very proud of myself ! LOL


This was our HISTORY assignment. We had to use newspaper, mix modge with paint and paint it. Once dry we were to create an element (I made flowers) and a photo mat on our page. If we had interesting newspaper articles we could add them to the page. I didn't, so I just used the paper for decor purposes:


You can check out how to make your own Newspaper here: http://www.scrap-friendzy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=103&t=4680
Close up view of my flowers.. am going to do this again, love this technique.
Another assignment was our FOREIGN LANGUAGE assignment. This was for Extra Credit. I used photos from KENYA on our honeymoon. We had to use foreign photos and a foreign language. JAMBO means HELLO in Swahili.


For our HOME ECONOMICS assignment, we had to use material to create a flower and use as an element somewhere on your page. I created a small black flower on this layout and used the remainder of my material for a border.

Other challenges that I am taking part in are:
They are having a SKETCHATHON for the month too..

Here is the card challenge they had. We had to use this sketch and create a layout either in Fall / School theme. This is a back to school card I made...(using leftovers from my October Afternoon papers).



The following double layout killed 2 birds with 1 stone:
SCRAP U assignment for Extra Credit: To get on the DEANS LIST, we had to create a layout using 10 or more photos, about summer and make a list. This is my layout using the new October Afternoon (Fly a Kite range) paper and element sheets:

I doubled up on this layout by using this sketch at SKETCHINSPIRATION - http://sketchinspiration.ning.com/ created by Jana Eubank. (check it out, you can win prizes too).

Used this sketch for my left side of my layout:

For the right side of my layout, I used the LETS SCRAP sketch RIGHT HAND side of this one:

I love this October Afternoon paper range.. so cute and easy to use...
