BWC #20 - Catch-up Biweekly Challenge

Can't believe I didn't post this to the blog yet...

Remember those episodes of sitcoms that just piece together scenes of past episodes? That's this BWC. You get a couple more weeks to work on Chris' excellent doodling challenge (I'll re-post here) OR any of the past challenges EVER.

Chris' Doodling Challenge BWC #19 - Let's get out our markers, pens, colored pencils...whatever doodling material suits you and let's DOODLE a layout! Yes, you heard me right. I want you to doodle EXCLUSIVELY on your layout. No pattern paper, no ribbon, no brads....just a base cardstock, your photo(s) AND you're favorite coloring tools. That's it! Have fun!

Thizz quezztion comes to you from Margaret (scrappinmomto2girls) who might be feeling guilty about feeling guilty. Do ya feel her? Then feel this:

Do you ever try to justify things you want to buy or do, and then end up talking yourself out of whatever it is?

August 2009 TRAKking

Marlene posted this in the thread so I am posting it here for her....

August 2009 TraKKing

Okay, finally got this done. I want to point a couple of things out, mostly for Sharon for Sept. TraKKing.

1) I included two layouts that were posting in Sept. towards August since they stated it was for August:

Janet's WTTS

Margaret's Starving Artist(nikki)

2) Amanda posted 12 layouts on 8/10. I counted all of those layouts except for the 2 close-ups towards her critiques since this was before our discussion of what is for critique and what is for just sharing. Just thought it would be easier that way.

3) I did not trak any layouts that were just for sharing.

4) I didn't count the Question of the Moment. I can't get on the blog during the day and I had a hard time figuring out who answered on the blog and here since it's so many pages back. I also wanted to get this done and posted, so I didn't take the time to go back and double check.

If anyone has any questions about the trakking, please let me know. Thanks

SHCG BWC #18 - Make Your Own Stamp Challenge

Working with an eraser from a pencil or block create your own stamp and add the results to a page or card.

This simple square stamp was made from a pencil eraser.


The stamps in this second example were made from a white eraser. Layering a few different ink colors produced surprising realistic bricks.

Please post your ideas on this Scrapbook.com challenge thread. HAVE FUN!!!
