Scrap Challenge

Yesterday, we had two Scrap Challenges on the MyMemories page. The first one was for beginners and the second was for those more experienced, but anyone could play either challenge. The first one was:

Step 1: Choose 1 background paper. It can be solid or patterned.
Step 2: Choose 3 photos and place them anywhere on the top half of your page.
Step 3: Choose a ribbon, ric rac, doodle, or similar embellishment and place it on your layout as a divider between the top half and bottom half of your layout.
Step 4: Choose 4 embellishments and put them all touching at least 1 of your photos in some way.
Step 5: Add some word art (or make your own).
Step 6: On the bottom half of your page journal about your photos. Remember, you won't always be around to re-tell the story of what was going on when the photos were taken.
Step 7: Shadow your photos and embellishments, date your page (if you want) and anything else that you want to do to finish up your page!

The second challenge:

Step 1: Choose 1 background paper (solid or textured).
Step 2: Choose 3 photos. Stack them on top of each other so that only a bit of the bottom 2 are showing. (almost like they were dropped and landed on top of each other but a little of the bottom 2 photos are "peeking" out). Mat your photos.
Step 3: Use 3 patterned papers and make shapes that you arrange underneath your stack of photos.
Step 4: In one corner of your stack of photos make a cluster of 5 embellishments.
Step 5: In the opposite corner of your stack of photos make a cluster of 3 embellishments.
Step 6: Add a title or journal about your page. Shadow, date and anything else you would like to add!

The Challenges and the Contests really give you a chance to stretch your knowledge and to try something new. Plus, they're lots of fun!
