November tRAKking

For November, Brenda and I worked together to completed the month's tRAKking for Sharon.  As such, of course there is a difference in how this tRAKking is done as opposed to how both Marlene and Sharon do theirs.  December 10th was my cut off for tRAKking purposes.


There were 13 submissions as part of required BWC submissions.  We also had 4 extra layouts submitted as just for sharing and to critique if you wanted to.  I added these in within the individuals submissions and counted them towards the number of critiques you did, but they were not counted in the total number of layouts to critique. Which means...this month, you earned extra credit if you critiqued the extras!  (Apparently I haven't forgotten how to be a teacher....)

BWC #25 - 'Tis the Season

Before getting to the new challenge, during November Denitza and Bren both submitted contributions for Bren's BWC #23 -- Halloweenish -- Scrap a Halloween layout.  Take a look:

By Denitza

Left page by Bren

Right page by Bren

Now, for this next BWC, I'd like to see us turn from Halloween to the Christmas season.  Your challenge is this: pull out old holiday photos (or some you may already have from this season) and scrap a layout with them OR share a scrap project that you're making someone for a holiday gift!

My example using new holiday pictures

BWC #24 - Lift Yourself!

Pardons this is a couple of days late, I gots a preemie at home now - Caruso was discharged from the NICU on FRIDAY!

We've had many challenges where you lift someone else. But how about lifting yourself? Or rather, lifting yourself when you were in a former scrapper era, before you developed your current style? For this BWC, I want you to lift one of YOUR OWN LO's that is at least TWO YEARS old. If you've been scrapping for less than two years, then just try to go to your earliest era as possible. I think it will be fun to give the works of your former-scrap-self a fresh take AND some kudos... so many people don't celebrate their early-days enough, let's give your former-scrap-self some creative flattery by imitating what she/he did in the past!

FYI my sample LO of this is planned in my head but I will most likely be severely delayed in scrapping/posting it... :)

BWC #22 Remembering

Create a LO about something that is not an everyday event (e.g. a vacation, a football game, a party, an event...you get the idea). The catch is you must incorporate a piece of memorabilia from the event into the LO.

It will be interesting in seeing what we come up with
