Scrapping Outside the Box

The final challenge of the race was a scraplift of our favorite layout that our partner had created during the race. I loved all of Shawn's layouts, so choosing which one to lift was hard ... but I managed to do it. I chose to lift her layout from Challenge 9.
The second aspect of this challenge was that we had to scrap about our favorite part of the ADSR2. My favorite thing about this race was that it made me scrap outside of my norm. Here is what the journaling says...

The Amazing DigiScrapping Race 2 was full of exciting challenges and adventures; but my first one started before the race did. It was quite an adventure trying to find a partner. I found a great one in Shawn though. Shawn and I are on opposite sides of the planet but we work well together. Our styles are just a bit different too, which makes working as a team a lot of fun. I do have to admit though that picking my partner was not my favorite part of the race. My favorite aspect of the race was the fact that many of the challenges made me scrap outside my norm. It made me use a lot of pictures or even Alphas. I don't normally use alphas, that one was hard. I had to spend a lot of time looking for the alphas to use. I don't like one photo layouts, so using many photos for my pages wasn't a really big change for me. The real challenge was using the required number. 10 photos on one page is not exactly an easy thing to do, but I did it. It was a lot of fun too! I do digital scrapbooking challenges every month, but I don't normally create new styles. I just stick to what is comfortable for me. The Amazing Race didn't let me do that. It made me thing of new ways to do things. I am always up for a challenge and Scrapping Outside the Box is the best one of all. I'm really happy I did this race. Bring on ADSR3.

For this layout I used Amanda Thorderson's America The Beautiful kit.

The FINAL task...

We Got Your Challenge #12....right here!!!

Yep, that's right, this is the stop for Challenge #12!!! So, here it is:


Your challenge is to scraplift your favorite layout done by your partner. If you're racing alone now, you can scraplift any other racer. But, your layout needs to be about the ADSR. You must scrap your page about your favorite aspect of the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race.

That's it. Two components. A scraplift and a topic.

And for completing the challenge, you'll get a coupon for $7 good towards anything in my personal store at NDISB. The coupon is good through the end of the year, so if you don't see $7 worth of stuff you don't already have, I've got plenty of new stuff coming out.

ETA: The layout you scraplift of your partner needs to be one an ADSR layout. Thanks for the question!!

Grease

This page was a fun one for me to do! For some reason I didn't see the challenge posted at the ADSR2 blog, and I couldn't find it anywhere else. I was completely caught off guard when I came to our blog and saw that not only had Shawn posted the challenge here for me, she had already completed her layout too. Amazing! She's totally on top of things. For this layout I used a template by Simply Sarah. The background paper is from Amanda Thorderson's America the Beautiful kit. The movie photos were found all around the internet (it was a lot of fun to look for them). The font that I used is Velvet Script. Here is what the journaling states --- Grease has got to be my all-time favorite movie. I used to lay in
bed at night when I was younger and listen to my parents when
they would watch it. The songs were my favorite part at that age. As I grew up I just loved the entire movie. I even threw a party for the girls on my floor when I was an RA in college. We then discussed the things that were good and bad about the story. I know this movie inside and out, forward and backward. I could watch it every day. It reminds me of how much people are willing to do to fit in, to be liked. I tried that once, it didn't really work. I feld much better when I went back to being myself. I hope I can teach my boys that they should never change who they are just to fit in with others.

Shawn's Task #11

Well, the movie choice was easy, but what does it say about me? hmmm.....

Challenge 10 -- Working Out

This challenge was an interesting one. Trying to find the alphas on my computer was a fun event ... I didn't have too many, but I found some great free downloads today ... thanks to the IkeaGoddess and her blog.

Here is the journaling and credits for this layout:
There aren't many moments where I actually get to spend time by myself. But, school is about to start again soon. I can't wait. This means that I will get to go back to the gym again. The Hall of Champions cardio center is my favorite place to be when I am not subbing at the elementary school.
When I go to the gym I get a chance to do something for myself. I can exercise as long as I want to and know that I am doing something good for myself. I may not always get to be there as long as I would like to be but being there even for 20 minutes gives me the satisfaction of knowing that I am doing something to better myself. The cardio center usually smells like nasty seaty people; but with the right music you can tune out the smell and get in a decent workout. I can't wait to get back to the gym and on the eliptical machines.

About challenge 10

OOOHHHH ...... What Fun .... NOT!
This is definitely going to be a challenge for me. I HATE Alphas with a passion. It could be even more of a challenge since I'm not sure that I actually have any alphas on my computer (I tend to delete what I don't like)
Ok .. off to think about this layout and get working on it .... will post what I come up with at some point today ... gotta get it over with quickly.
Wish I would have seen this before creating the 2 page layout about the boys riding their bikes yesterday with no training wheels. Maybe I will have to get out there today and take more pictures of them.

Shawn ADSR #9

This was by far the toughest one to figure out what to scrap! I guess I don't have huge embarrassing moments. In the example they said something like "if you walked around with tp on your shoe...", well, I would just laugh, pull it off, throw it away - no need to be embarrassed about a simple mistake. I guess I get most embarrassed when I don't live up to my own expectations. This LO is an example of that.

Lunchtime Nightmare

This challenge was a bit of a chore for me to actually do. I racked my brain all day today trying to come up with an embarrassing moment. I really had a hard time coming up with one. I guess I do my best to forget those types of moments ... LOL ... but I managed to come up with one. I chose to create my layout about an incident that happened one day during the lunch period this past school year.
For this layout I used a kit called PopTart ... available at Elemental Scraps. Its one of the kits that I purchased with the gift certificate we were given for completing a previous challenge in this race. The fonts that I used are Kids First Print Font, Lindsay Beehive and Velvet Script. It's A Date Stamp Set by Teriann Hanks @ DSO.

This is what the journaling says:

Lunchtime at the Elementary School is usually a fun thing to see. But not always. There was one day in May, during the year Andrew was in Kindergarten. I was at the school volunteering, like most days. It was time for lunch and ice cream was on the menu for dessert. The lunch ladies had forgotten to give Andrew's class their ice cream when they picked up their trays. The lady working the register gave me the box of ice cream and told me to make sure that all of the students with hot lunch got their ice cream. I handed the cups to all of Andrew's class and the class that shared the tables with them. Then I went to the other tables and started handing the ice cream cups to the third Kindergarten class. I had given it to almost the entire class when their teacher's aide threw a fit. She had purposely made sure that her class didn't get the ice cream cups when they went through the line. She was really mad at me for giving it to them and made me take it all back. I was so embarrassed. I had only been doing what I was told to do, but she made it like I had done something incredibly wrong. I felt so bad for the kids in her class. Especially when I was taking the ice cream back that I had given them I shouldn't have been embarrassed, I only did what I was told. I honestly don't know if I was more embarrassed or upset at the whole situation Probably a bit of both. After taking the ice cream cups back from her students I took the box back to the counter and went to eat by Andrew. I hope tha tI never have to go through anything like that ever again. It was not fun!

Challenge 9 -- Gonna Be A Tough One

Welcome, Amazing Digi Scrapping Racers! We at Oscraps are so excited to be your next stop along your 6-week digi-trek!

At Oscraps we’re all about keepin’ it real, so your next challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to scrap your *most embarrassing moment*—you know, that time you put your foot in your mouth big-time, or got caught doing something you never would have done if you’d known people were watching? Yeah—scrap that!

But that’s not all! For this challenge you MUST:

--Use a photo that goes with your most embarrassing moment. It doesn’t have to be a photo of the actual moment (because who stops in the middle of something super embarrassing and says, “Hey, I should get a picture of this so I can scrap it later!”?), but just a visual aid to the story. If you walked around all day with a piece of toilet paper hanging out the back of your pants, then use a photo of a roll of toilet paper.

--Journal about your embarrassing moment.

--Use at least one ribbon

--Use at least one tag

--Use at least two different fonts on your layout (not including alphas)

The idea behind this challenge is to be able to take an honest look at ourselves and admit that sometimes we’re not always as smooth as we’d like to be. And that’s totally okay. If you can laugh at yourself, you are blessed indeed!

Enjoy!

PS~ Please post a link here in this thread so we can all take a look at your layouts
