Scrap Challenge #1

Sometimes great minds think alike, and sometimes if you shop for scrapbook stuff with your BFF, you end up buying the same products. So Crystal and I have decided to challenge ourselves to see how different (or how similar) or brains work when it comes to gluing this stuff down. Thus, the Scrap Challenge was born. Our first challenge actually came about when we attended a crop and the make and take didn't appeal to either of us.

So here's the challenge: We were given paper in the following colors and sizes:

Black: 12 x 12, 2 x 12, 5 x 6, 2 x4

White: 2 x 4.5, 3.5 x 4.5, 3.5 x 4.5, 3.75 x 4.75

red: 3 x 12, 1.25 x 12, 4.75 x 5.5

pattern: 3 x 12, 3 x 12

The rules: You don't have to use all the papers, but you can't use any other papers. And no peeking - you aren't allowed to see the other's layout until the agreed upon deadline and you've placed your glue sticks on the table.

The results:

So what do you think? I think it's funny that we both used black & white photos, flowers, and hand written journaling. And both of our layouts include pictures of ourselves. Maybe, we've been hanging out together for too long.

Our next scrap challenge involves Halloween papers, so we'll try to get that to ya before New Year's. Christmas, if we're really being productive, but if you know us at all, you know not to hold your breath.

Check back soon though, you may just be surprised. Besides we'll be starting our December Daily albums soon and Journal Your Christmas begins Dec. 1st.

Thanks for visiting.
