Crop Addict

Weekly Challenge 5/30/11 - 6/6/11

This week's challenge is to create a greeting card. The only requirement is that the card has to have one homemade embellishment on it. 

Post your card in the May Weekly Challenge gallery by Monday, June 6th @ midnight PDT and be sure to link it back in the Crop Addict forum too! 

Here's my example. I created this card using leftovers from the Crop Addict May 2011 Kit and I created the pleated flower from scratch (see my step by step instructions here). 

Weekly Challenge 5/23/11 - 5/30/11

This week's challenge is simple - Create a layout that utilizes three tags minimum. 

Here's my example. I used two tags to hold the initials and one tag on the background. Upload by PDT Monday May 30th at Midnight to the Crop Addict gallery. 

Be sure to link your layout back to the Crop Addict forum too.

Weekly Challenge 5/16/11 - 5/23/11

I am really on a border kick right now. Borders really define a layout and there are so many different supplies you can use for a border. So this week's challenge is to create a layout using three different supplies to create borders. 

Post your layout in the May 9-16 weekly challenge gallery by midnight PDT on Monday May 23rd and be sure to link your layout back to the Crop Addict weekly challenge forum too! 

Here is my example! I used a strand of pearls, ric-rac and a border sticker to create three different borders. 

Weekly Challenge: 5/9/11-5/16/11

Patterned paper is one of the staples of scrapbooking supplies and we rarely make a layout without at least one piece of it. So my challenge to you this week is a paper challenge - with two requirements! Create a layout that (1) uses a minimum of six different patterned papers and (2) embellish at least one of these patterned papers with other supplies. 

Post your layout in the May 9-16 weekly challenge gallery by midnight PDT on Monday May 16th and be sure to link your layout back in the Crop Addict forum too! 

Here is my example! I used seven different papers and embellished the paper in the upper right corner with puffy paint and the paper in the lower right corner with tiny pearls. 

Weekly Challenge 5/2/11 - 5/9/11

We all love border punches, right? So my challenge to you this week is to use at least three different border punches on your page. If you don't have three border punches then try creating a decorative edge with repetitive shapes punched from a normal punch, deco-edge scissors or a torn edge. 

Post your layout in the May 2-9 weekly challenge gallery by midnight PDT on Monday May 9th and be sure to link your layout back in the forum too! 

Here is my example! 

May 2011 Monthly Challenge

Hello ladies! Fair warning - this month you are going to see lots of wedding layouts from me as I work fast and furiously to finish my best friend's wedding album. 

So let's start with this month's challenge; your challenge is to create a layout that includes a memento or memorabilia on it. This can include ticket stubs, a child's report card or artwork, a brochure, a map, etc.

Post your completed layout/project in the May Monthly Challenge Gallery by midnight PDT on May 31st! Be sure to share it in the Crop Addict monthly challenge forum too!

Here's my example. It's the intro page to my best friend's wedding album and I included the wedding invitation on it.

This week the challenge is to make the most of your punches!!!

If you had a look at my previous post about "making the most of your border punches" then this probably won't come as a surprise!

I challenge you to use your (border)punch in another way then you normally do. Please share what technique and which punch you used!!!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Here's my example and if you want to see how I created this then hop over to the previous blogpost of this blog.

April 18 - 25 Weekly Challenge!

For this week's challenge I decided to combine two of my passions: scrapbooking and reading!

So, here's the challenge: create a layout, a card or an off the page project in which you incorporate a page from a book! This can be either for a photo matt or to create a flower or... whatever!! The possibilities are endless!

Here's my example, using the Crop Addict April 2011 Monthly Scrapbooking Kit AND a page from one of my copies of "Wuthering Heights" (I had two of them and this one fell apart....):

 

If you love scrapbooking and reading too, then please have a go at this challenge!! When you're finished upload your newly created project to the April 18-25 Weekly Challenge Gallery and link to this thread in the Crop Addict forum by midnight PST on April 25!

Qualifying uploads will be entered to win a prize at the end of the month!

Have fun scrapping (and reading??? LOL)!!
