We only have 2 more challenges for our scrappy party at SD4U. Let me show you what we have been making so far:


Here are the challenges as they will be posted:

JEN 3/1
1. Our first month of business was March. Easter was in March of last year, so your challenge representing this month is to create any size layout with these elements:

something brown to represent a chocolate bunny
something new in your stash to represent the newness of spring
The word CHICK in you title

HEATHER 3/3
2. Our 2nd month was April. You know how the saying goes, "April showers bring. . ."

Use 4 blue elements on your layout (can be bling, brads, flowers, ink, paint, paper, etc) to represent the rain showers in April. This does not have to be monchoromatic.

ANGEL 3/5
3. Our 3rd month is May and we know May is known for May flowers, but its also Mother's Day.

Create a card or altered project for Mother's Day with at least 5 flowers on it.

HEATHER 3/7
4. June was our 4th month. You have two choices for this challenge. Either create a Father's Day card or a layout with an orange and blue color scheme. Those colors seem so summery and that's what June leads up to!

NICOLE3/9
5. July was the 5th month of business and that month brings picnics, BBQs, and Independence Day.

Create a birthday card or party favor with a red, white, and blue theme.

6. Our 6th month anniversary was August. That to me is the quintessential summer month.

Your challenge for this month is to create a layout with:
circles (to represent beach balls)
stripes (for the beach towel)
something transparent (to represent the cool water of the pool, ocean, and lake)

ANGEL 3/13
7. Month 7 was September, back to school for the kids. Time to celebrate the return of a schedule!

Create a layout with lots of bling on it
Journal about your daily routine. Routines can be boring so use the bling to spice up your routine!

JULIE 3/15
8. October was the 8th month of kits and it is a spooky month. It doesn't have to be all about Halloween though.

Use black, purple, and gold on a card or layout. Do not use Halloween pictures or products.
Use part of a song somewhere on your layout. This could be your title or journaling.

JEN 3/17
9. November, month 9, is time to give thanks and gather as a family.

Create a layout using a photo with more than one person in it
Use orange and/or brown somewhere on your layout
Include something round, like buttons, a journaling spot, the polka dots on the alpha, the pumpkins in the picture, anything round goes for this

Image

JEN 3/19
10. Month 10 was December, my favorite month of the year.

Create a layout about 3 of your favorite things (can be people or objects).
Use ribbon or trim(like on Christmas presents)
Use something red and green as well. These do not have to be the main colors.
Adhere your items in at least 5 different ways. I used staples, brads, foam dots, liquid glue, tape runner, and a library clip on the flower.

Its a Scrappy Anniversary Party @ SD4U

Here is how its going down!

Every other day starting March 1st we are posting a challenge celebrating a month of SD4U being in business. When you complete each challenge (and upload and link it to its thread), you will get a participation point. Each point is one entry into the raffles. Potentially you could have your name entered 12 times for the grand prize if you complete all the challenges. The grand prize will be drawn on March 31st. All challenges need to be completed, loaded into the gallery, and linked back to the correct thread by 11:59pm PST March 30th (that's a Monday).

Through out the month there will also be games, prizes, and extras. Anything you participate in here will also get you a participation point. These also turn into raffle entries. They may be simple and they may be hard, but the more you play, the more chances you have to win!

Is everyone ready to get their scrap on???

Come on over to SD4U to play. You can click the link to the right to get to the site. I will keep track of entries over there so you can always check your participation points.

One last thing, there will also be other prizes awarded during the month. You never know when a raffle is going to occur. If you want in on the raffle you have to have participated in at least one scrappy challenge. So lets get busy!

Challenges 1 & 2 and extra credits 1 & 2 have already been posted!


Challenge 1


Our first month of business was in March 2008. Easter was in March last year, so your challenge representing our first month is to create any size layout with these elements:

•Something brown to represent a chocolate bunny
•Something new in your stash to represent the newness of spring
•The word CHICK in you title

Here is my example:


Challenge 2

Our 2nd month was April.

You know how the saying goes, "April showers bring. . ."

Use 4 blue elements on your layout (can be bling, brads, flowers, ink, paint, paper, etc) to represent the rain showers in April. This does not have to be monchoromatic.
