Scrapping Challenges

I took part in two online scrapping challenges on Scrap n Crop's forum in May 2008. The first one challenge required us to scrap an old photo of ourself and use a min of two Basic Grey patterned papers and journaling of any kind. Luckily, my mom visited me the weekend before the deadline closed and brought two old photos of me.


I submitted two designs. The first 'The best of times - a walk in the garden', I used a craft knife to cut out the intricate flower design. I thought it would be difficult and I would have blisters at the end of it. But no lah. In the photo, my mom brought mr bro and me for a walk in the garden together with our neighbour and her daughter. All the kids had been bribed with biscuits so we were looking at the camera.

In the 2nd design, I cut the pp into strips and crimped them into a frame (followed ki Memories instructions for Paper Accent). Then I cut another piece to be part of the frame. This was fun and I finished the piece in an hour.

In the end, my first design won. The design team had difficulty choosing and she also chose another two winners.


In the second challenge, we had to scrap using the quote "There is no measure greater than this: the joy that comes from a child's happiness". Simon had taken Jon's photo one morning and captured Jon laughing and showing his first two teeth. I didn't have any mojo and decided to leave the pieces on the cardstock for two days. Then I played around with the placement and added more embellishments. they all fell into place.

Guess what? I won too! and I got this RAK (random act of kindness) as a prize.
