RAK for Jan-Apr Participation

Okay, Marlene posted April above, so I looked back at Jan-Apr tRAKking. You all deserve a big round of applause - we had some excellent participation from everybody! And notable steady activity all 4 months from Brenda, Lisa & Tay! (Denitza too but she won last time so she was out of the RAK-running). BUT one person truly shone forth w/ her level of participation & promptness. SHCG - the winner of the Jan-Apr Participation RAK is...Michelle! Congrats!! Please be on the lookout for your giftie.

BWC #10 - Catch-Up BWC!

Firstly, let's shout out to Brian's response to BWC 8 - Your Theme Song: 30 Years, Page 5!

Now, as requested, here is your every-4-months Catch-Up BWC. You get a couple more weeks to respond to past challenges!

Here's the description to the last one - Wendy's BWC 9 - Use Your Workstation Scraps: Use your workstation scraps....not sure how else to title this, but I will explain in more detail. When I am working on a layout or card at home, I almost always use ink, paint or something else that is messy, so often times I have a sheet of paper that I practice a stamp on or use to brush off excess paint or maybe even just have under my scrapbook paper to protect the work surface. Lately I have been realizing that these random pieces of "table protection" paper look pretty cool after some time in use. My challenge is to save those scraps and use them in a layout!

And CLICK HERE to get a list of all the challenges from SHCG's past - very cool stuff!

We'll get back to our regularly scheduled BWCs in 2 weeks. Enjoy your catch-up!! :o)

BWC #9 Use Your Workstation Scraps

First, I want to send a shout out to Denitza for contributing to BWC #8 with her layout titled Peace and another shout out to Michelle for her response to BWC #6 - Put Some Letters on that Photo - Kitty on the Roof.

Now for BWC #9 - use your workstation scraps....not sure how else to title this, but I will explain in more detail. When I am working on a layout or card at home, I almost always use ink, paint or something else that is messy, so often times I have a sheet of paper that I practice a stamp on or use to brush off excess paint or maybe even just have under my scrapbook paper to protect the work surface. Lately I have been realizing that these random pieces of "table protection" paper look pretty cool after some time in use. My challenge is to save those scraps and use them in a layout!

March 2010 TRAKking

Here’s the TRAKking for March 2010. Cut-off date for late critiques was today noon EST. I gave Wendy JFS credit for her website but didn’t tally up people’s responses to it. BWCs are optional but I’m recognizing those who responded. (No optional March 2?10s to calculate). Please let me know if you have any questions!

ALSO: Kindly note that if you post a submission late as a submission for the previous month, it can create extra work & throw timing off for us tRAKkers. We’ll try to accommodate you when we can. No worries if you’ve already done this, just please be mindful in the future. Thanks, fabulous peeps!

BWC #8 - Your Theme Song

Thanks to Denitza for your BWC #7: Today. I'm still thinking that one over, but your example is great!

For this challenge, choose a song that means something to you. I could be your theme song or it could be the theme song for a moment or person in your life. Create a layout for it and be sure to include some lyrics (if not the whole song, at least the lyrics that say what it is that meant something to you).

Enjoy!
Brian

BWC#7-Today

BWC # 7-Today

I was thinking the other day that most of the time I "m scrapping special occasions or my kids, so I thought well, I want to do something just for me, about me. And here comes the challenge-pick a day -one from the next 2 weeks, and scrap about it. Do journaling only, embellish a lot or a little, use pics or not, just create!!Whatever you feel like doing is fine with me. Here is what I came up with-just an example:
Today By Denitza

Also, let's not forget to check out Sharon's response to BWC#4 "Valentine"
The BEST Valentine (SHCG Valentine Challenge) By Blushpea
and one from me in response to BWC#6"Let's Put Some Letters on That Photo!"-just the first one is for the BWC.
Madison By Denitza
And one from Marlene in response to BWC#6"Let's Put Some Letters on That Photo!"
That's Just How I Roll! ~ SHCG BWC No. 6 By MaRLeNeF
Get to scrapping! And I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! Have fun!

Oh, let me not forget to mention that at the end of the 2 weeks for this challenge we will vote on the best LO and the artist behind it will get a small RAK from me! Now get busy!!
