One Scrap at a Time

Welcome to week three of the 2010 Scrapals Challenge. This week the challenge is to make the Easel Card featured at SplitCoastStamers (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/easelcard/). I enjoyed putting these together and even happier that I am ALMOST done using up all that birthday papers I used in last week's challenge. This challenge is for 3 points per card for a max of 3 cards (9 points).

My 2010 New Years Resolution was to begin to downsize my house to make room for my Mother In Law and her caregiver who we plan to move in within the next 6 to 12 months. For those of you who have seen my scrap room can attest to the fact it will probably take me 6 to 12 months to get through it all and maybe longer if I keep stopping and browsing through my old scrapbooking magazines. However, this week’s challenge comes to your straight from one of those old magazines – the July 2009 issues of Creating Keepsakes using Becky Higgins multiphoto sketches. This week’s challenge is to create a two page layout using one (or more) of the sketches below for 5 points per two page spread for a maximum of 3 two page spreads (or 15 points).

Hi Scrapals and welcome to the first challenge of 2010 - All About Birthdays. In this challenge you can create birthday cards, birthday layouts, birthday gifts or any other birthday ideas you come up with. Each project is worth 3 points to a max of 5 projects. Bonus points: You can earn an extra 10 points if you make 5 projects using all the same paper line as I did below in my line of Birthday Cards. You have one week to create - - - so get busy! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

This week's challenge is to make your gift tags for the Holiday Season. Why spend your money on store bought tags when you have all the supplies you need, probably at your finger tips, to make the tags and brighten someone's gift? This challenge is for 2 points per tag design for a max of 5 designs. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

In the spirit of Christmas, this week’s challenge is to take something inexpensive and alter it to make a great gift for someone on your list. I searched the internet for ideas and found several things I want to try.
