...and the CHALLENGE is OVER!

Here is the final installment of the Layout Artist Competition 2012. I was eliminated from the main contest after week two. Week three I participated in the 'Second Chance' contest and then again this week.
For week 3 we were to use a mini kit from LouCee Creations.

Okay, I really don't intend to keep this page/picture like this. I just didn't know what to do. Also, I have a hard time with just one photo.  It is a great page, but not practical for me.

This week, the final week, the challenge is for two pages and to post in two additional galleries.
The first kit is a selection from Flower Scraps, My First Day kit.

I wanted to try to use all the elements, and did. I also made an apple (or two) and a brown strip.

okay...I know this is 'one photo' again....but it is the only one we have of here for the first day.... :)

The next page was from theStudio Blog Hop called 2nd Chances. We were to use items from at least 5 designers, I ended up using 10 designers. I challenged myself to make a masculine page, whereas the main feel of the kit is feminine.

theStudio staff/designers will vote and chose a few of us for a guest spotlight during an upcoming month. I'm not holding my breath on this one....there are so many talented artists out there.  Ok Sarah, I'll make a post of the final details when I know them... ;)

Another month and another Progressive Scrap at theStudio. This month we were to use elements from the "OLD SCHOOL" Mega Kit.

These are the elements/papers we were given:

Then of course, each day we were given instructions along with that day's download of what we could use.  So here are my days...

I also chose to give my page as a Quick Page for those who participated.

Quick Page

NOT only did I do the Progressive Scrap again, but I signed up for the Layout Artist Competition 2012. WOW, I did not know what stress that would be. The first round was rather fun, and luckily I made it to the next round and then I STRESSED.  I made three different pages and debated on which to submit, then I stressed the whole time...and in the end, I didn't make the vote for the next round
Voting at theStudio is kinda like a popularity contest...or just matter of opinion....and I have never won in the majority for those kinda things. My pages need to show a memory, and the papers/elements need to compliment them. I feel like at theStudio the elements are the star and any memory you have to go along is a side note. At theStudio, the more you can add to a cluster, the more votes you are gonna get. So my simpler pages don't get many votes.
ok...so now that I cleared my head, here are my pages I made, and the things I used for them.

First round of the Layout Artist Competition.
We were to use the kit "Black Holes" by Nibbles Skribbles and make a page.

I made a page about meeting our favorite alien...

Then the next round we were to use one of the templates from Aimee Harrison Designs and use a kit or two  from the NEXT DESIGNER CONTEST, either their first round or second round.  I used pieces from jmdt, and jilbert.

I decided to stick with the theme the designers were doing --MOON, and scrap about the Lunar Eclipse from last year.

The cool thing about this page is it received over 20 comments (which means that there were TWO pages of comments).  However, when the voting was over, I only received three votes.

Alrighty....now on to the RECIPE CHALLENGE.
I haven't written about them lately...I'll start with the current month.
This month the THEME was GET WELL, as LetMeScrapbook was having surgery.
Here is the kit,

and here is my cards. One for soup, one for cornbread.

In August the theme was ICE CREAM.
Here is the kit we used

and here is my card.

In July I also made a recipe card for their Christmas in July celebration.
The challenge had us using a color palette...but they also had a mini kit to use.

Here is the card I made using the mini kit.

Thats all...I need to keep up better so I can list the fonts I used and all...
