Time Flies

...it sure does! I love this collab by Simply Scraps and Flutter Expressions. It inspired me to dig out some of my "oldies but goodies" and *finally* scrap them!

I am thrilled to be working with Julie Marie Designs this month at Gotta Pixel...I absolutely love her work and the kit I chose is perfect for all my un-scrapped dancing pics and for my budding musician.

ADSR comes to an end...

We here they are...the last 2 challenges this week...and with that, the end of the race. I've had an awesome time, created a few layouts that otherwise would never have been done, learned so much more about my friend and racing partner, been challenged to create out of my comfort zone, collected over $80 in prizes (so far!)...what more could you ask for?

Here is what the iPixelators created for Challenge 11 hosted by PolkaDotPlum

We took part in one of their Humpty Dumpty Challenges...basically they supplied a jumbled template that we had to put back together again in our own way...then create a layout based on our own template...all items had to be used (even that quirky little birdie!)

Here's the template they supplied:


Here's my take:

Challenge 12 was hosted by Aimee Asher

We had to create a card and matching envelope based on a template they supplied...

Here's mine:

ADSR ~ Challenge 10

WOW...I can't believe this is our 10th challenge!

Our next challenge was up at Inspiration Lane

This is an INTERSECTION challenge, so both team members had to work on a single layout!

Theme: What inspires your inner artist?
Kim and I had the same feeling so we chose our kids. My kids inspire me everyday to simply be a better person. Our layout had to include 2 photos - 1 photo from each of us - that shows what inspires us.

Here is what we came up with:

ADSR ~ Challenge 9

Our next stop on our journey was to Oscraps

The first part of our challenge was to look at the color wheel and each team member had to scrap in opposing colors...


The next part of the challenge was to gain our inspiration from this quote:
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” - Mary Lou Cook

I LOVE this quote and I decided to just use it outright in my LO...Kim however chose a different approach...either way I think they both turned out awesome!

ADSR ~ Challenge 8

Elemental Scraps is our host for this leg of the race...

It's a FAST FORWARD...

Theme: "Someday"
Challenge: We've all said "someday...". Whether it's "someday, I'm going to get this filing cabinet cleared" or "someday, I'm going to find happiness" or anything in between. So, we want to see your "someday".

Here is mine:

ADSR ~ Challenge 7

This challenge is brought to us by Scrap Orchard...

Theme: The Bucket List
Challenge: Scrap 50 Things you would like to do in your lifetime. (While a Bucket List is typically a list of 100 things you would like to do in your lifetime, we've cut the number down to 50, given that you are all under a serious time constraint. However, if you would like to list more than 50 things, you may!)
