Challenge #3

Challenge #3 was actually fun for me since it was going back to layout one and lifting it. My first layout was created with the paint bucket tool and an element that I had downloaded at digitalscrapbookplace.com; you can find the layout here

And my new layout is

We're still racing!

The third challenge is hosted by Gotta Pixel. The challenge is to redo the first layout that you posted to a gallery. My very first layout was at Scrap Girls. You can see the original layout here: http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.php?autocom=gallery&req=si&img=48759
The photos in this layout were taken when Josh graduated from Officer Candidate School. It was really an exciting moment for our family and we were so proud of him. Hope you like the page.

Challenge #2

Well, challenge #2 was just that! It was hosted by Elemental Scraps and was an intersection. An intersection is a challenge shared by both partners. The theme was Cabin Fever. Penny & I (yep both of us!) emailed crazily back and forth, back and forth, back and forth! This is what we decided on for our final layout. It was mostly made with Valerie Randall's CampScrap kit. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you like it!

Challenge #1

P#1 here with my challenge #1 -- was really worried about surviving the challenges, but one down, several more to go!

I'm back already!

Right after I left the last post, the challenge was up and I couldn't wait to get started. It was hosted by Hummie's World. The challenge was to tear a photo into at least three pieces and the rest of the layout was our own choice but must include journaling. I decided to scrap this old photo of Cari, Jenny & Tiffany when they were little girls. Here's mine (P#2) for challenge #1. Hope you like it.

Tick Tock

Penny #2 here this time. The race is officially started though the first challenge isn't posted yet. I've been kind of glued to my computer hoping to get some kind of a sneek peek, but alas no such luck. I've also been reading threads with info from veteran racers and that has kind of scared me more than I was. I saw a few of the challenges from the last race and they were quite intimidating. My philosphy is going to be: read the directions, don't procrastinate, have fun and remember that I'm scrapping for me. I should have a nice batch of really special layouts when this 6 weeks is over. Wish us luck as we begin! Check back in a couple of days and see our layouts (of who knows what - LOL!) xxoo

Hours Left!

Only a few more hours left before the day! I am excited and nervous at the same time!!!
