.. the next part of the digi-scrapping challenge ..

So after getting this kit for free for completing part 1 of the challenge .. I thought what the heck lets keep going ..

.. the next part I found kinda hard .. I'm not a ribbon kinda girl .. more a grunge elements type of scrapping gal ... but I got there ..

The instructions for the next part of the challenge were:

From the Gotta Pixel Gotta Orchard forum:

For this week you need to grab up the layout that you started during WEEK 1 at Scrap Orchard. No movement can be done to the placement of your papers and photos. However You CAN relayer objects in your layout.
For example: You can't move the photo from the top of the layout to the bottom this week.
But you can put the ribbons behind the photos.
From the week one layout add:
2 fasteners (buttons, staples, brads)
3 ribbons (ric rac, ribbon wraps, straight or folded or curled ribbons)
1 set of stitches

So this is my layout with the above added

Credits: Week 2 requirements -
2 fasteners - Jen Lin designs - Rusticana - Brad 2 and Brad 4
3 ribbons - Jen Lin Designs - Rusticana - Ribbon 2 (twice) and Ribbon 4
1 set of stitches - Sarah Belle - skohul Spring Denim - Blue Denim Stitched Flower
and Week 1 requirements -

... had to really think about this .. and changed it quite a few times

.. hubby wasn't overly impressed as I left the kids and him to dinner .. while I pottered back and forwards to try different things .. oh dear

.. but at least this week is done .. heh heh ..

Finally started Digi-Scrapping again ..

I started a challenge at Scrap Orchard/Gotta Pixel (my first layout in ages) ..

It is a progressive scrap .. where they give you instructions each week .. and this continues for 4 weeks .. and each layout earns you a free kit ..

Here is my first part of the challenge ..

Abbie was on the trampoline yesterday in the sun .. so I snapped her ..

Credits: Papers - Pineapple Plantation Designs - ppd_zgl_the_blues_2

These were the instructions this week -

Choose 1 background paper
2 paper pieces (you can use just strips of paper, cut 2 papers into shapes, mats ect.. however you want to use pieces of 2 other papers)
and 3 photos

It will be interesting to see what next weeks instructions are ..

We aren't allowed to move any of the objects around after they have been uploaded to the gallery .. but we can change the layers ...

Phew .. will be fun to see how it turns out ..

Scrapbooking

So I've done a few pages now .. and thought I'd share ..
