ADSR 6 - Challenge 4

Challenge 4 of the Amazing Digiscrapping Race 6 was hosted by DigiScrapStation. And this challenge was an Intersection Challenge.

For Intersection Challenges both members of the team work together to create one layout. For this challenge, one person was to provide the photos and journaling. The other member of the team was to create the actual layout.

The challenge itself was to create a layout about the travelling family. Here is the challenged as described on DigiScrapStation's site.
Many families in these busy times are always on the go, to games, practices, school, friends and also on vacations. This layout is to be about your family's travels. It can be about the vehicles used to travel, about the locations your family travel to or about the actual travel itself.
For our layout, I provided the photos and the journaling. Michelle put the layout together. And finally, my obsession with taking photos of our Mazda 3 came in handy.

Here is the final layout:


I think Michelle did a great job with this layout!!  She is making the Little 3 look good!!

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be back in a few days to share our layouts from Challenge 5.

ADSR 6 - Challenge 3

Challenge Three of the Amazing Digiscrapping Race was hosted at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking..  The initial description of the challenge sounded easy enough.  We were to make layouts about our family's play time.  Sounds easy enough.  Here is the first part of the description.
Tell us about your family games, if your family is split and all like to do their own thing,,, tell us what each member of your family likes to do!
You do not need a huge amount of journaling, but remember this layout will be for you, so you need enough to explain what everyone does and why they enjoy it.
You do not need to include a photo unless you want to, the layout of your page is more important than a photo for this challenge.
Sounds easy enough.  That is when things got a little more complicated, because there was a twist.
The plot of your layout should represent the game or games that you play!
For instance, if you're all into playing Monopoly,, your layout should look like a Monopoly board
If you like to play Parcheesi, it should look like a Parcheesi board
If you like playing Baseball, it should look like a baseball pitch
If you like playing Wii, it should look like a TV screen or a game console,,
If you're all quiet readers, your layout should look like a book
 Michelle was on top of this one.  She had this completed in no time flat and even created her own DVD from scratch.


My layout did not come together so quickly.  At first, I wanted to put together a hiking/walking trail cause that is often what David and I do on Saturdays.  But that seemed like it was gonna take way more time than I had.  And thanks to an awesome television template provided by Michelle, I came up with another idea and spotlighted our love of Japanese anime.


Hope you enjoyed our Challenge 3 layouts.  I'll be back in a couple of days with the layout from Challenge 4.

ADSR 6 - Challenge 2

Michelle and I are busily working on challenges three and four for ADSR 6.  While, we are working hard to finish our layouts.  I wanted to come share with you the layouts we created for Challenge Two.

Challenge Two was hosted by Scrappity-Do-Dah.  This challenge had a few more requirements than the first one.  Here is what was required of our layouts.

1. Choose two background papers, one for the very back and one for the front layer. Re-size the front paper so that the back paper shows through.  Either have the front paper the same size smaller all around or rotate the front paper so the back paper shows through.

2.Choose one photo for your LO and crop it to a 3" by 3" image or about a 900 pixels by 900 pixels image.  Place this either in the center of the page or somewhat off the center if you choose.

3. Use your shape tool to add at least three shapes of ANY shape above your front paper layer
as in a flower, a star, a circle, square or heart or any other shape you wish.  Select the shape on the shape layer with your magic wand tool and delete from the front paper layer to show your background paper layer underneath in the shapes you cut out.  Make sure to add a good shadow to this front paper layer to see the cutouts.

4. Journal about someone in your family that is an inspiration to you.  It May be someone who gave you good advice or someone you look up to.  Journal between 25 and 50 words about this family member.

5. Cluster around your photo and on your page to complete the LO. Add shadowing and a title, with or without an alpha.  Adding a date if you choose to.

Now that you know the requirements for the challenge, here are the layouts that Michelle and I created.

We found this challenge almost as hard as the first one.  But I think the final results turned out great!!

I'll be back next week to share our layouts for challenges three and four.  Until then, make sure you don't forget to take pictures.

ADSR 6 - Challenge 1

The first week of ADSR 6 is almost over. Racers have until tomorrow night to submit layouts for for the first two challenges. Both Michelle and I have already submitted layouts for the first two challenges. Both of Michelle's layouts have been verified, but I am still waiting for my second one to be verified. In the meantime, I wanted to go ahead and share our layouts for the first challenge.

The first challenge took place at Digi Scrap Connect. This is a newer community but I have high hopes for it's future. For this challenge, we were to scrap a layout containing six fun facts about our family. (And fur babies count.) As the first challenge, according to Ripal, this was supposed to be a simple one. After all the requirements were that you have at least one photo and six facts. Sounds simple. Neither Michelle nor I thought it was as simple as it sounded. :O) But that didn't stop us from getting our layouts created.

I suspect by now you are ready to view the layouts. So without further ado, here are our layouts for Challenge One.

I'll be back in a couple of days to share our Challenge Two layouts. Starting tomorrow, it will be time to begin working on Challenge Three.
