BWC 5: The History of Me

Are you ready for some Scrapping? (sing to the tune of "Are you ready for some Football?".)I know we are a ways off for Football but that tune popped in my head when I went to enter the challenge. I know, I am a bit of an odd duck. :)

Correction here, Marlene did post a response to the "Spring" challenge.
I apologize for saying there were not any posts to our last fun challenge of "Spring", personally, I am still thinking on that one.

Here is the challenge I am presenting to all of you:
The History of me.

This can be about you, from a baby to now, or about your parents, or your anchestors, whatever history you want to create in a LO. I know it can be a bit overwhelming to think in these terms but we all have a history and we can pick some highlights if necessary for the challenge.

I look forward to learning a bit more about all of you.

BWC No. 4: Spring Ahead!

I bet if you’re like me you’re so over this winter weather and you’re just longing for spring.  The nice weather, sweet smelling flowers, jelly beans… LOL.

So my challenge to you is to incorporate at least one “spring” item on your next project.  Some ideas could be a handmade flower or to use spring pastel colors, whatever you want, it’s up to you.  It could be a card, layout, ATC, journal page, etc.

Here’s a little digital page that I came up with for my new junk journal for some inspiration:


Happy Scrapping! Marlene

Edited on 2/10/11 by Sharon -
OK time to award the Sept-Dec participation RAK! I have reviewed Sept-Dec tRAKking & subjected it to my calculations. We had great consistent participation from Lisa & Michelle (Denitza was exempt from all this because she won the last RAK). But one member participate 100% each month, even surpassing that as she left extra credit critiques too. That member is...CHRIS!

BWC #3: Bird is the Word

For this challenge, you will create a layout using a word prompt. And the word is....

Not bird (I just have that song in my head! LOL)....

CHALLENGE.

You may interpret this in any way you wish... by basing your work on one (or several) challenges you are facing, learning a new technique and thereby CHALLENGING yourself, or any other way that you feel the word applies to you.

And let's not forget our previous BWC response turned in since last time:

BWC #2 Use Your Supplies- Lisa's Nut and his evil brother Cracker

Great response Lisa!

BWC #2 Use Your Supplies

We all have had it...Buyer's Guilt!
"What will I ever do with all of these supplies?"

Well now is your chance to
get creative using the supplies you have.

This BWC challenge is... To challenge yourself and "use what you got!"

The goal is to use some thing (or several things) from your stash and create a page, a card, an object.

This layout was done completely with my supplies.

And, shout out to Denitza & her response to BWC 25, Tis The Season: Christmas 2010

BWC# 26- Decade Past

Hi Everyone,


First off I'd like to give a shout out to Chris for her response to the last bi-weekly challenge, here's the response:






The year 2000 was a huge event all over the world and now an entire decade has passed and 2010 is coming to a close. This week's challenge is to create a layout highlighting some major events or personal developments/changes as a tribute to this past decade.
