RoadMap to Scrap #1

October 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Hi Scrappers!!  Brittney here, hijacking Denise’s post today to let you know the BIG NEWS!!  

Today is the first day of October and we are unveiling our BRAND NEW “Matter of Scrap Challenge System“.  We’ve done a major overhaul and added a TON of new challenges.  Read all about it HERE in the forum.  It’s a an all system, and we understand there will be questions!  Feel free to ask us!  It’s going to be a LOT of fun!!  Some challenges you’ll see here posted on the blog, but some will just be in the forum.  We’ll  even have convenient points tracking and challenge lists for you! 
And speaking of new challenges . . . take it away, Denise!

I know today is supposed to be Words for Wednesday, but we are changing that up too!

Every other Wednesday will be the “word Up” challenge (all things word related), and the Wednesdays will be the all new “Roadmap to Scrap” challenge.

Here’s how it will work:

We are going to take a scrapping journey, and in order to get to our destination, we have to follow the map.

These are the requirements that will get you from Point A to Point B.

1. One Black and White Photo
2. Stitches
3. Flowers
4. No Alphas, Fonts Only
5. Lots of White Space
6. Something Torn
7. A Frame
8. Use a Kit You Have Never Used Before

In order to reach our destination, we MUST have all 8 things in our layout. You can of course do more than these 8 things…and the rules are open to interpretation. Be creative, for example, if you use something that meeting more than one requirement, lucky you!

Here’s something else that is new: You will have ALL month to scrap your layout, and when you complete it, you MUST post it to the “RoadMap to Scrap” Challenge Gallery AND in the forum here to get credit.

Your completed layout will earn you one point in the new Matter of Scrap Challenge System.

In addition, you can earn another point by using a newly released product (you must scrap and upload your layout within the first 7 days of the products release - and remember, you MUST indicate that you used a new release).

Remember, no double dipping…your layout must be unique to this challenge.

In addition, at the end of the month, I will choose my favorite layout and that scrapper will get one extra point towards next month!
And, for a little inspiration, here is my layout.

And to show you how even though we are taking the same journey together, we still wound up with very different results. Here’s a little inspiration from the CT:

Monqiue (monsu):

Andrea (chia):

Maria (muss):

Isn’t it amazing how many different layouts we can get using the EXACT same set of directions?

I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!

Happy scrapping.

Denise
