Challenge #100

Can you believe we are at our 100th challenge?!??!

I feel the burden to really make this a cool challenge. yikes!

(I have to credit Debbi with the idea, thanks Debbi!) Here it is...

A picture paints 100 words

Use one picture and over 100 words incorporating letter stickers and/or rubons into your journaling.


Elizabeth: I have been meaning to do a layout updating our baby's development and this was just the push I needed. I incorporated shimmer dots throughout the journaling...

Michelle: Well....page one of this layout has one picture. I used over 100 words in my journaling. I have (had) these perfect Making Memories wordfetti stickers all planned out to go within my journaling...but I lost them in my scrap mess this weekend. Arghs. So I had to make my own sticker....I printed the journaling twice, once on the light blue cardstock and once on white and cut out the words. I also added some rubon snowflakes within the journaling.


Here is the 2-page spread:

Debbi T:

This was by far the most challenging challenge I've ever done--even more challenging than Marci's use 100 things! I almost didn't post this because i don't love the way it looks, but after fussing with it all day, changing the background paper a gazillion times, I finally decided I had to finish it. I used painted the chipboard letters and then coated them Glossy Accents to make them shiny to go with the journaling, which was printed on glossy photo paper. I realize the picture has nothing to do with my story, LOL, but it's one of the few photos I have around the time period I wrote about.



Debi:
Definitely a challenge! My journaling ended up being MUCH more than 100 words.



Have fun with it! Post your layout to the thread on 2peas http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=2753065 and be inspired by all the creativity out there!

Challenge # 99: We're going to party like it's 1999!

For challenge# 99 we are going to party like it's 1999 (showing my age here):

Create a party on your layout by use products from 19 different manufacturers! Really, it's not going to be as difficult as you think - if you use a stamp and ink from two different manufacturers then count both of them, don't forget brads, staples, floss - try to find items made by different manufacturers. It's fun, I promise! I kept a running list beside me when I added a new product to the page - that way I could keep track of what I had used.

When you are done, don't forget to post a link to your layout on the HMITM thread in the pub.

Paula:

My dh tells me this should say three Amigas but this will work - right? I used papers from 12 different manufacturers - it was fun digging through my scraps for this one.

Debbi T:

We were having a yard sale, and at the end of the day, we discovered my sister had a 75 cent sticker stuck right next to her crotch. My prim and proper sister wouldn't let me take a photo of exactly where it was--she moved it to a less naughty spot for this picture!

I had fun digging through my stash, too, and I was really glad to use some old letter stickers from my overgrown stash.



Francine:

This is one of my favourite quotations and I took this photo back in May with the idea to do a scrapbook page about it.


This wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, in fact once I got going I had a hard time limiting myself to only 19! I started out with 12 patterned paper companies, and used my Slice to cut the scalloped frames from scraps.

Michelle: Well unlike the other girls....even after I moaned and groaned....this was still so so so hard for me. But I did it. And I really dug deep into my stash for this one. So it does feel good....

Debi:

Okay, so after MUCH complaining (mostly just to Paula) about this challenge it truly wasn't as bad as I thought! Once you get started it was fun. I just kept going to different areas in my scrap room to look for other manufactures. I have to say I was more than a little shocked when I didn't even use 1 Heidi Swapp product.... shocking !!!
