Here's challenges 3 and 4. A bit out of order but at least now I'm all caught up in the race and posting layouts!

I've gotten behind posting my layouts here

2008-03-22T14:56:00.000-07:00

I've been doing all the challenges but have gotten behind in posting them here. I won't be posting challenge #7. I hated the challenge and hate my layout. I found it unbelievably tedious and stifling and the end result is crappy. Thank goodness challenge #8 was a fun one!

Here's my layout for Challenge #5 Interview with an inanimate object.

Here's my layout for Challenge #8 which was to scrap a favorite vacation but without using any travel themed elements or papers. I had tun with that one.

The Fifth Challenge

2008-03-09T03:41:00.000-07:00

They posted the fifth challenge today, and I'm pleased to say that I'm done! :)

My inanimate object was a book. But you can never have too many books... It also ended up with me interviewing myself about books, so I've spared you the journaling!

Here is my third challenge layout:

Journaling:

I'd run a thousand miles before I'd pose for a photo, but that's what I did when I had to have a photo to accompany a bio.

Of all the photos my husband took, this is by far my favourite. Well, my favourite one was where I ducked and he had an empty frame, but this was pretty sneaky of me, too.

I have finally found my creative outlet, my passion, my playroom - digital scrapping. I'm not great at it, but you know what? Who cares? I love to play and to create.

Here's my fourth challenge layout:

journaling:

It's true. I like individual people. They don't have to be my friends for me to like them. But I could cheerfully do without the rest of them. It's a sweeping generalisation, and I'm sure there are circumstances behind why people lie, steal and cheat, but today I'm fed up with it all. I think I am still naive enough to think that people should do a day's work for a day's pay, do their share, pull their weight, play nicely and don't mess with other people's stuff. I know it's such a judgemental statement, but for today, I don't care. I'm sick of taking the fall for the liars and cheats who wriggle their way out of situations where you could drive a truck through the holes in their stories. I'm tired of taking the blame for other people's deliberate and repeated actions.Stinky bum doody heads.

Thank you, Carol, but you're too kind!

2008-03-04T00:45:00.000-08:00

I may have had the idea for the collaborative second challenge, but it takes two to pull it off!

After Carol's gentle prod, here I am with my first challenge layout!

Bonus Challenge: A Tale of Two Kitties

2008-03-03T17:00:00.001-08:00

I did the bonus challenge. The challenge was to create a layout about daily life.

Credits can be found here.

Challenge #2 was a collaborative effort

2008-03-02T06:35:00.000-08:00

Challenge #2 was a collaborative effort. I think Edeena and I work very well together. Thanks to Edeena for the wonderful idea which is the hardest part. So, I want to be sure she gets most of the credit! Thanks, Edeena!

Credits are here.

Challenge #1

2008-03-02T06:31:00.000-08:00

The race is on and here's my first layout! You can find credits here.

The Waiting Game

2008-01-26T13:34:00.000-08:00

Oh, it's hard to wait. But race day gets ever closer and I understand that the Race is pretty heavily entered. It's going to be great! I'm so pleased to be partners with Carol - she does amazing layouts!!

You'll be seeing our layouts soon!
Edeena

2008-01-21T11:44:00.000-08:00

Thanks, Carol, for asking me along as your partner for this very exciting race! I actually should be on my way to work, but don't tell anyone! (wink)

I post in all my galleries as naughtsncrosses or NaughtsNCrosses, so you may have seen me around. I had to do up a bio the other day for a CT that I'm now on, but it's written in the third person:

Born and raised in Canberra, Australia, Edeena is 37, married to a very patient Englishman who has transplanted very well, and they have a live-wire four year old daughter, two moggies and an ex-show dog Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie). They have a very hectic time juggling Edeena’s full-time career and her husband’s small business (which is more than full-time as all other small business owners will vouch!), and this year their daughter starts pre-school two days a week. Lots of material for photos and layouts lie ahead!

Edeena has only been digital-scrapping since May 2007, and she is still finding her way around her program of choice (Lumapix FotoFusion). She has tried the paper-scrapping thing, but found that she couldn’t bear to waste all the wonderful things she was buying – particularly as she wasn’t very good. Philosophically, she expects that all those punches and papers will come in handy when her daughter does craft in school. Edeena also loved the look of layers, but couldn’t bear the bulk of it in an album… digital scrapping has been wonderful – it’s flat (great for albums) and she can layer away to her heart’s content! Best of all, if she makes a mistake she can start over again (her favourite button is undo)!

Now I hate to blog and run, but you'll be seeing more of us soon!
Catch ya later,
Edeena

The new ADSR will be starting next month. Due to time and other commitments, Laurie is unable to race with me this time but Edeena Cross from DownUnder has graciously agreed to be my partner. We are using the same team name and I thank Laurie for letting us use this cool name.

As soon as I give Edeena the extra key, I'm sure she'll be here and will introduce herself and once the race starts, she can post her layouts here too.

2007-08-15T20:14:00.000-07:00

Challenge #9 was

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)

You can find the credits for my layout here.

Here's Challenge #7. I didn't do 6 because only one of us needed to complete it and Laurie did that one and did an awesome job as usual!

Laurie did a terrific job of bringing my layout to life!! She's the best partner and is making this race lots of fun!

Credits here.

And while I'm at it, I'll post Challenge #8.
I've used this photo before but I really like it and thought it fit the theme of "Girl Talk" really well. Credits are here.

Sorry if I bombarded everyone with posts but now I'm caught up and will post on time from now on...I hope!

Thanks for looking!

2007-08-10T18:53:00.001-07:00

This is for challenge #5. This was a bit more difficult because of the journaling. But I'm glad I got it down...maybe my family will appreciate it someday! Credits here.

2007-08-10T18:49:00.001-07:00

Here's Challenge #4. Credits are here. This is the one I had to do rather quickly because we were leaving for our long weekend in Chicago.

2007-08-10T18:43:00.001-07:00

I've gotten behind posting my layouts! I can't believe how a short 4 day trip can get me behind on so much! Here's challenge #3. Credits are here.

Challenge #6

2007-08-05T14:20:00.001-07:00

This is our layout for Challenge #6 for the ADSR. Details: ONLY ONE LAYOUT REQUIRED for this ROADBLOCK challenge. You will need to create a messy style layout. Please use a solid paper and only 2 patterns for any paper extras. You must use at least 15 elements and no more than two elements can be from the same designer. Please do not use the same element repetitively more than twice as this counts as your two items per designer.

Enjoy and happy you took a peek.

This is my layout for Challenge #5 for the ADSR. Details: Huge Journaling Challenge; Someone in your life has taught you something that has stuck with you. It might be a mothering tip. It might be a viewpoint. It might be some words of wisdom.

Enjoy and thanks for taking a peek.
