Challenge 13 - Final Challenge =(

I so wanted the race to continue. I enjoyed this Amazing Digital Scrapbook Race very much. This is the last challenge, which was a surprise added on at the end of the 12 challenges, because it was Friday the 13th. I thought it was a fun idea to make a surprise challenge, and it is optional, so not everyone completed this one.

We were to collaborate as a team this time. Becki did the left side and I did the right side so we ended up with a two-page layout (which you can see below). There was a list of what we could use and how we could use it, which made this particular challenge the most challenging of all, and I think I enjoyed it the most because of that. We collaborated with the kit we chose so we would have things that coordinated but we didn't want to match completely. This way we could still showcase our own styles but have pages that went together. We both used, mostly, a kit called Createwings C23 (creation). I absolutely love this kit!

Challenge 13...the end

There was a bonus and optional challenge, and of course we participated! LOL

We had to make a 2 page spread so the pages needed to coordinate with each other. Each side had certain rules, also. The theme was Love and Diversity, and it was the hardest challenge we had through the whole race!

I did the left side, Mom did the right. Above you can see mine and the final 2 pages put together.

This was definitely fun, though slow going-we always found ourselves wanting more, more, more! LOL

Thanks to everyone for all of their hard work, inspiration, the prizes and the fun!

Challenge 12-a collab

Here is what is supposed to be our final challenge, but there is talk that there is one more from our Race host site NDISB...hmmm?

The challenge this round was to be done as a collaboration-we were to have a convo about why we scrap (or 'tell our stories'). We could only have two photos which were one of each of us, or one of us together and it had to be at the bottom right hand corner of the page. There were to only be 2 papers and at least 5 embellishments, and the journaling of our 'conversation' had to be at least 1/2 of the page.

This time it was my turn to do the page, so I created the LO and then Mom added her journaling to it. This was not as easy as it sounds, as there were a few issues along the way with sizing and overlapping-but we worked out the kinks and got a beauty out of it!

This was a fun race, and I am sure I will do it again. We both wish it had MORE challenges during the week, that it was a little too 'easy' and slow...but we did truly enjoy ourselves and got inspiration for something we already love to do!!

Challenge 11

For this challenge we were allowed one photo and one question - only. No other words on the layout, just the questions (and not the answer to the question). I miss my parents very much as they passed on to Heaven some time ago. It is nearing Valentine's Day. If my Daddy could hear me I'd ask him to be mine - to be my Valentine.

Here is my page. The credits to the designer of the items I used is Gina Cabrera - All Heart.

Yes, I did more than one - I did three. Perhaps I'll post the others later.

Challenge 11...

It's almost over! Went by SO quickly, but it seemed to take forever for the challenges to get here each week! LOL

So, this challenge was to Ask a question, use that question as your title/journaling and only that-no other words. Only one picture, which had to be in relation to the question and somehow show the answer to that question...still with me on this? LOL

MY question is: "What would you love, love, love for your 40th?" to Scott...the answer is to drive his car! He has this '59 Soft-top convertable MGA Roadster in pieces in the garage, he's been working on it when he can for a few years now, and the other day he told me he has decided he wanted to drive it on his birthday-which is April 18th.

The license plate (which IS an Oregon one, BTW) says 'MEMEME', which is one that I came up with earlier today when we were driving down the road and making up license plate words for the car for fun...he said it needed to show it was HIS and not OURS (he says I 'stole' his Mustang away and teases me that I want the MGA...LOL).

This was a fun one to do, and I tried my hand at erasing and blending this time-which I really had never done before (I had to get him in the car! LOL)

Challenge 10 Interview Team Member

Challenge 10 sponsored by Pixel Gypsy is a Roadblock so only one of us gets to make a layout. The one of us who did not complete the layout for the Jan. 20th challenge was to do an interview with the other and scrap about that. We could use one photo about it, must ask at least 5 questions, use only two designers and make the layout predominately two colors only.

I got to do this one so I asked Rabecca about being a new Grandma (of course!)LOL. The two designers I used were Kitty Chen and Lorie Davison from Scrapbookgraphics as these are some of my very favorite whimsical designs.

As usual I made two pages. I first made the pink-blue page and then made the red-yellowish page, which is the one posted to the race.

Blessings in His Name, Great-Grandma

Challenge 9 is Generations

For Challenge 9 I did my layout featuring 7 generations of our family. I enjoyed this one because these are the kind of pages that help to tell the story to future generations. I love the colors, the papers and all the elements too.

Here I placed a newspaper clipping about my great-grandfather Wiley, photos with my grand-father Clarence, his daughter - my mother Lillian, myself, my first daughter Rabecca, her first daughter Ashley, and her first daughter Destiney (which makes her a Grandmother and makes me a Great-Grandmother!). All of us girls, in this list, have a middle name of Ruth. I think that is fantastic!

I used the papers and elements from designer Katheryn Balint of KB and Friends who sponsored this challenge. I also used JHI lace. We needed to use: more that one generation, some lace, metal, a flower, and vintage element. I used several. I also did the Generations of LOVE page, but didn't submit it for the race.

Enjoy, Great Grandma Mary (I love saying that!)

Challenge 9

this challenge was to be a Generations page, with several items that you would find in an old album.

This page is special to me because it shows where I come from and down the line.
Starting from the top left photo:
1-My grandparents, great grandfather and assorted family members
2-My Great grandfather, his daughter-my grandmother, my mother and me
3-Myself and my first grandchild, Destiney
4-Destiney, her father and mother-my daughter
5-the smaller photo, with wings, is my daughter Ashley when she was a baby

I love these kinds of pages, and I have been inspired to do more!

Just for Fun

Just for fun I thought I'd show you the other page I made. Petruschka's page is the little boy in the hat, which inspired me to make the page with my Grandson Quinn with the little yellow flower (weed). A fun challenge it is sometimes (always) hard for me to make just one page!

My Challenge 8 page

I really liked this challenge. We were to get a page by someone we admired their work and are inspired by. I love Petruschka's pages, especially this one. at scrapbookgraphics.com. I love the little feathers, and all the light colors. The second one is mine and the first one is what I was inspired by. Great-Grandma

Challenge 8:

Challenge 8 is here, the rule for this one is to scraplift someone who's work you ooh and ahh over and to use a star and the word dream on your page.

Here is the page I scraplifted off of and my page I did of my youngest daughter, Chelsea. I really love the work of so many people, but I chose petruschka's to do. I am very happy with this one!!

Challenge 7 - Great-Grandma's LO

This is my layout for challenge 7, sponsored by sunshinestudioscraps. We were to use all pieces they gave us for FREE! (Woohoo - I REALLY like free). I made a couple of pages and then had to decide which one I wanted to post. I posted the Justin one for the race. I am posting here both of the pages I made - just for the fun of it.

Challenge 7--

Here is my Challenge 7 page...
The rules for this challenge were to use everything in the mini kit provided, and you can add other items if you wanted to. Pretty easy, huh?? I didn't think of recoloring them but saw that a few other people did.
I am not 'in love' with this page, but it will do for the challenge.

Challenge 6...

This one is called a Road Block, only one of us do a page--we are to choose one of our partner's pages from a gallery, flip it over and then 45 degrees and use it as a template to scraplift. We have to also use the exact same number of items.
Also, the background paper is actually a photo of one of the giftbags from the babyshower.


Mine is above and here is a link to hers, the original...

Challenge 5 from Great Grandma!

I thought this challenge was fun. Didn't have to stress over which photo to use and telling a story that way. This way I only had to tell the story! My story is about Time and how everything is in God's Timing. My page shows those things that God has placed in my path, the things that matter, those things we all see through our windows of time.

ADSR4-challenge 5

Here is my challenge number 5, the challenge was to use 3 different frames and journaling...this was very challenging for me!!

ADSR4 Challenge 4...to be artsy and soulful.

Great-Grandma makes her challenge page

I made the page showing Grandson Quinn for challenge 3 (makeover page from my original - my very first ever digital scrap page, which can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/29221678@N06/3192137079/ ). Our challenge came from Gottapixel.net. The yellowish one was the first, the brownish one is the makeover.

The other page, with the light shining through the darkness, is my page for challenge 4 which reflects my feelings, art and soul.

Here is my page for Challenge 3...it was to redo your first page you had uploaded onto any gallery, using the same photo, title and wording if there were any journaling.

My original is the lighter one and the redo is the one with the darker background.

Also, FYI: Baby Destiney is here!! Born 1-11-09, 5:52 pm. 7 lbs 5 oz, 19 in long and a gorgeous head of hair, she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

Challenge Two

So this one was to be a collaboration page done by both of us, there were also rules on certain items and quantity of items you can use...
This is Quinn, he is my nephew and Mom's grandson (of course! LOL)

Mom's page - Obsession

I too have made my first competition page for the ADSR Challenge Season 4 - Amazing Race! This is my first time to do a challenge in scrapbooking so I am excited to see how this goes! Here is my page number 1 - Obsession!

First ADSR4 challenge...

Here is my page for the first challenge, which was to tear your photo into at least 3pieces and do journaling. We'll add my Mom's to this as she gets hers done (I just sent her the email with the link to the challenge!).
We'd love to see your comments either here or on the NDISB site! http://www.hummiesworld.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=2353
Thanks!
