White Space

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

Your challenge for today … white space! Scrap a page that has white space! The term “white space” refers to an area devoid of photos, embellishments, journaling, and title. White space provides a resting point for the eye and breathing room for the viewer taking in your photos and journaling.

Here is a layout I created using Sports Nuts- Girls Bundle by WimpyChompers

Here is another layout from Kairyn:

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Hi everyone!

Since we have Valentine´s Day just around a corner, a list of your top 10 favorite romantic movies seems just the right thing to scrap about! I made mine using  a kit from our new designer Siamese Studios here at ScrapMatters:

Now I hope you´re excited to see my list and I can tell you that it was hard to narrow it down to only ten:

Now I´m really excited to see your pages and read YOUR lists. I wonder how many of mine you´ll pick to yours?

Have a great day!/ Carina

Hybrid Challenge: 2/7/12

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

Hello everyone,

Kayla aka keepscrappin here with today’s challenge, so dust off those scissors and warm up the printer cuz we’re going hybrid today.

7. Let’s get hybrid: Create a Valentine! It can be a traditional card, a candy wrapper cover or something else!

I decided to keep it simple today and used Simply J Studio’s Pillow Box Template and the February Mix-a-kit items from Down This Road Designs.

Just clip your papers to the template and print on cardstock.  Then, sized the heart to fit on the pillow box and turned off all the other layers.  Then I printed the heart on a separate sheet of cardstock.  Cut them out and tied the box with a little string for a quick and easy pillow box to put a little treat in for my sweet heart.  Gotta love simple and cute.

You don’t have to make a pillow box.  You can make a card, candy wrapper, tag or whatever your heart desires, just make sure you print it out and take a photo of your creation so we can see your finished product.

CT member Kairyn Lisa made this adorable Valentine’s Party  Invitation to give you more ideas on how to do this challenge.

Hope ya’ll have fun with this one and as always keepscrappin’ along with us here for February’s Bingo Challenges.

It’s Heather (snowdrop), and today’s challenge is my favorite, Travel Scraps! This month, your challenge is to wrap-up your holidays by scrapping a page about your Christmas or Winter Vacation! You don’t have to have traveled far, you can even scrap a staycation!

This December, I went to Florida. One of the things I did was go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Here is my layout, using Wizarding Magic, a ScrapMatters collab and SMD Font: Kim by Stolen Moments.

January 19 Challenge

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Hi all, Happy Thursday!  Carolyn here to bring you your inspiration for Challenge 19: Use a Black and White picture on your page. 

I have to admit that this WAS a bit of a challenge for me as I really love color photos.  But sometimes there is a particular kit that is perfect for my photo, but the colors just look horrible together.  That’s when a black and white photo makes all the difference. 

Here I was just LOVING Amber’s kit and wanted to smack every element in it on the page…I just love them all THAT much.  So, with all those papers and elements, my picture was lost.  Not anymore!  Once I changed it to black and white, it was much more visible on my busy page.  Here’s my layout that I had so much fun making with Just One Of  The Boys by Stolen Moments and Jenn Barrette Designs:

Here’s a sweet layout from Annisa, using It’s A Boy Thing by Haynay Designs and WM[Squared] Designs:

And here’s a fun layout from Jan with a partial extraction, using Backyard BBQ by The Design Girl:

Hope these inspire you to have fun scrapping some black and white pictures.  I cannot wait to see your layouts for this challenge!

Lisa (kelseyll) here to bring you another prompt for our January Challenges!  Hope your ScrapMatters Bingo card is getting nice and FULL!!

16. Be Inspired: Use the image below to inspire a LO!

I was inspired by the blocked look with pops of colors and the directional lines so here is what I came up with:

 

Here is one that Fonnetta made and I really like how she used a double line dashed border to set things apart!

And here is one from Kayla (keepscrappin) with a different way to make those visual lines:

There are so many fun kits in the store to use for this challenge and since there are no color requirements ANY of them will work!!! =)   For a full list of the January 2012 Bingo challenges head over to the forum here and if you want all the details about our challenge system including the prizes click here!  See you in the gallery!

Bingo Challenge – January 14, 2012

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

Kairyn here with today’s challenge! One of my favorites:

14. Extreme Makeover – re-scrap one of your older layouts.

I know some people feel that they don’t want to go back and redo a layout they’ve already finished. Instead, they wish to keep moving forward. I understand that, and when I was new to scrapping, I felt the same way! However, my scrapping style has evolved over the few years I’ve been a digi-scrapper, and since I print my books chronologically, there are many pages I’ve created, but never printed… if it hasn’t been printed it’s fair game for a makeover! lol

I chose this one to make over:

I like the blend, the journaling, the clusters… but I was never happy with how dark and noisy the photos are. Now that I know a little more about fixing those problem photos… I came up with this using New Beginnings by Diana’s Creations and Minimal Style Vol. 1 Templates by Memory Clips.

I hope I’ve encouraged you to try a makeover – you might be impressed with just how fun this challenge can be! Until next time… ta-ta!
