My LO For Challenge #8























My scrapping Idol is Sita slovackova at WaterLO Project. She has the most amazing kits and LO's.

Challenge #8

You can find it here!
Here is what it says:

Woooohoo! We are so excited to be a stop on the race! Here is your challenge info:

FAST FORWARD! This challenge is for both players, but the first team finished may skip the FEBRUARY 1 challenge if they wish!

A lot of us here at Oscraps are totally excited about the new season of American Idol...so we decided to make our own version...Scrapping Idol!

What is a Scrapping Idol, you ask? Scrapping Idol: a scrapper that amazes, inspires, awes, and/or makes you want to be able to scrap just like them.

We all have a scrapper that makes us drool over every single layout they crank out. So, your challenge begins with going to that person's gallery and choosing a layout to scraplift. Go on...you know you want to.

Ok, got a layout in mind? Here's what you have to do to complete this stop on ADSR:

1. Scraplift a layout from your the gallery of your Scrapping Idol.
Flip it, twist it, turn it, do whatever you gotta do. Just make sure your layout is inspired in some way by your idol's layout. If it isn't obvious how you scraplifted the layout, be sure to explain it in your credits...we don't those poor ADSR judges working too hard, do we?

2. Include a star somewhere on your layout.
The star can be a brush, a doodle, a sticker, an element, star paper, a star of ANY type! If you need a star, we have at least one in our freebie section of the store! Here's a link to our Freebie section!

3. Include the word DREAM somewhere on your layout.
It doesn't matter where or how, just make sure the word DREAM is somewhere on your layout. If it is the journaling, please include the journaling in your credits.

4. Please link up to the layout you lifted in your credits.

Yep...that's all, folks. I'm all about keeping things simple in 2009....so I thought I'd keep this challenge pretty simple! So go...be inspired by your Scrapping Idol...and create your own masterpiece for us all to drool over!

You are not required to post your layout here at Oscraps, but if you'd like us to oooh and ahhh over it here, you can post it in our ADSR #4 2009 Gallery.

The prize for this challenge is a coupon good for one of our Oscraps Collaboration Kits. ($6.00 maximum)

Enjoy...good luck!!

Challenge #6

You can find it here at Inspiration Lane


Welcome to Inspiration Lane, the next stop on the Amazing DigiScrap Race. This leg of the race is a ROAD BLOCK which means only 1 person can particpate. You must choose a layout from your partners gallery and scraplift it using the following direction:

Take your chosen layout from your partners gallery and flip it either horizontally or vertically.
Now take the layout and rotate it 45 degrees.
You must use this "new" version as the sketch for your layout.
When creating your layout you must use the EXACT same number of items that your partner used in the original layout, no more, no less.

Once you have completed this ROAD BLOCK post a your new layout with a link to the layout you scrap-lifted in the description in the official ADSR Gallery. Each team to complete the task before the deadline will receive an Inspiration Lane Signature Kit as well as a $2.00 off coupon to the store.

ETA: I just wanted to clarify a few things to hopefully make this easier for you all. When you tilt your layout 45 degrees you can tilt the elements on the page rather than the page itself. (hope that makes sense).

As for the number of items you need to use, we are just looking for the general number of items not specifically she used 3 buttons so I need to use 3 buttons.

Overall we just want you to be inspired, nothing more, nothing less. Everyone who participates gets the prize so relax and have fun. Remember it is your memory you are preserving, we want you to like your final page

Challenge #5

Your challenge for this stop is to create a layout that has no photos on it, but includes at least 3 different and separate photo frames.
You can find it here:
http://anitastergioudesigns.com/chatter/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=293&sid=4be8610b771e743a0d1175b2ff80c638

Sometimes we have special thoughts, feelings and/or memories about a person or place or event or pet or whatever, but no photos. OR, we could be missing someone who has passed on or something that is no longer in our lives and would dearly love to be able to express that on a page.

Because scrapbooking is all about recording our life journey and that of our family we can still create a page to record and preserve those special thoughts, feelings and/or memories with a little thought and planning and with the creative use of photo frames and journaling (although journaling is not required for this challenge).

You could even try doing a collage of elements and paper cut-outs within the photo frames to create a pictorial representation of your missing photos.

The prize for Racers completing this challenge is a $10.00 coupon to the AnitaStergiouDesigns.com Shoppe, valid until January 31 2009.

The Art and Soul Challenge!

You both must complete this challenge! However, this is a FAST FORWARD challenge which means that the first team done can SKIP the January 18th challenge if they wish!

Really stretch yourself and try something "artsy" that you haven't tried before!

2. The Soul of it:

You must journal something from your Soul. Something positive, heartfelt and meaningful to you in your life! Something you've learned, something you've gleaned from your life experience. Perhaps something you would want to pass on to the next generation! (It can even be your favorite quote and why it touches/inspires you) Uplift us, make us smile--inspire us! You must share your journaling with us-if it's hard to read or blended into the background-part of the challenge is to share your journaling in your description.

Challenge #3

ADSR - Stop #3 http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?p=370847#post370847

Congratulations, you have found the third challenge on the Amazing Digital Scrapbook Race journey. This is a regular stop, which means that both racers will need to do their own layout. Your challenge is simple. Find the first layout you created that is still uploaded to a gallery and scraplift it using techniques, trends and concepts that you have learned since you did that original layout.

You can...
You can use a different kit, elements, papers, brushes, shapes, etc.
You can add and remove elements, papers, etc.
You can use a different sized canvas.
You can move things around and change the overall sketch of the layout.
You can use the first layout uploaded to any gallery. This does not necessarily mean that it's the first layout you ever did.When you view your gallery, at whichever site it is at, it needs to be the first layout uploaded to that gallery. Example: This is my gallery at Gotta Pixel (I have other galleries on other sites). If you go to the very last page, and find the very last image, that is the first layout I uploaded to Gotta Pixel. That is the layout that needs to be used.

You can not...
You can not add additional photos to the layout.
You can not remove any photos from the layout.
You can not add additional text to the layout; journaling, alphas that spell out a word, word art, journaling. The only text that appears on the layout must be identical in verbiage to what it was originally. You can change the font, you can convert text into an alpha. If your layout previously used an alpha or wordart, you can convert that alpha/wordart to text or use a new alpha/wordart to spell the same thing. When you are done though, you must have the same words that were on the old layout, on the new layout.

My LO For Challenge One



Credits: Under The Xmas Tree by WaterLo Products
Our first Challenge was found this morning at Hummies World (http://www.hummiesworld.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=2353) and here are the instructions:

My challenge for you is to

1) Rip and tear a photo into three or more pieces! (that's a photo, not papers!)

2) Use journaling on your layout (something I stress is SO important).

This is a challenge to be completed by both racers.That's it! Anything else goes! You can have more than three tears. You can have more than one photo on your layout. You can have a lot or a few elements. You can use any theme. Just get a memory preserved as that is what scrapping is all about.You can use any method to rip your photos. You can use any products from anywhere to rip your photos. However, I do have some tutorials available as shown below. Let's all help each other learn. And here is my LO using Kris Meyers soon to be released kit Frosty Days! You can pick up her kit here this week!
