A Roadmap to Scrap Your Autumn Pics
<Author’s note: we had some technical issues with the blog last Wednesday, so while I got things posted in the forum, it never made it here to the blog. So, here’s your Roadmap, just a week late, but still tons of time to play through November!>
Happy Wednesday, Everyone! Tgmousechick Kim here with this Wednesday’s Roadmap to Scrap. I’ll give you 8 instructions to get from Point A to B. You need to follow all 8 in one form or another to earn the challenge point, but where you end up is all up to you!
Without any further ado, here is your map, and we’ll get to the fine print in a bit:
1- You must use more than one photo
2- At least one photo needs to be framed or matted
3- Build a cluster around your focal point photo (can include elements listed below)
4- Use a 1:1 ratio of patterned paper to solid paper (for every pattern, you need to use a solid)
5- Include one fall/Halloween element, even if it’s not fall-colored- a leaf, a pumpkin, a ghost, etc
6- Include at least 1 ribbon
7- Use an alpha in your title
8- Journaling is a must!
Here is my layout to inspire you, using “Boo” by Ellie Lash (clip from “Mermaid Lagoon” from Britt-ish Designs)
My fellow Creative Team members have some layouts to share as well
From Littlehiccup
And SHutch
Ok, here’s the fine print, aka the rules:
In order to reach your destination, you must do all 8. 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!
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 back to the forum to get credit.
Your completed layout will earn you one point in the new Matter of Scrap Challenge System…which you can find out more about here. And 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 tell me you used a new release). You have until the end of November to post your layout.
Remember, no double dipping…your layout must be unique to this challenge, and it can only count for one month’s point tally.
One last treat- at the end of the month, I will choose my favorite layout and that scrapper will get one extra point!
Happy Scrapping!
