Weekend Inspiration Challenges

Come along to the crop night this Friday night for some fun and inspiration to get you scrapping up a storm!

Friday the 22nd of May 2009

6.30pm (shadow box tutorial is at 7.30pm) till midnight.

Complete the most challenges during the crop to be in the running for a small prize.

Challenge One:
Use the sketch below by Becky Fleck to create a double page or two single page layouts (the photo sizes stated are incorrect for a double page 12" x 12" layout) about any topic. You could also use this sketch to make two 12" x 6" layouts (this challenge is counted as two layouts to be in the running for a little prize).


Challenge Two:
Use the layout below (source unknown) as inspiration for a layout. You may take the colour scheme, the composition or a single element from the layout as inspiration to create a layout that is uniquely yours.


Challenge Three:
Use strips of patterned paper on a cardstock background to make a layout. Here's the challenge: none of the pieces of patterned paper or cardstock can be full sheets - all must be scraps (even the background, but it can be one single colour)!

Challenge Four: everyday inspiration
Winter is looming and many of us are dreading its onset. Make a layout that showcases EITHER what you LOVE or what you HATE about winter.

Challenge Five:
Create a layout and use stamps to create its title. You can use rubber, acrylic, foam or stamps you have made yourself from bubble wrap or some other household item. Think outside the square (ie, the stamps don't have to be letter stamps)!

If you are playing along at home, I would love to see some of the layouts that you create using the challenges. Just bring them into the shop or email me a pic.

Thanks K for emailing a great pic of your double page that you created last time - it looked fantastic! Thanks for joining in!

Hope to see you at the crop!
