It is under there somewhere....


This is what my Wednesday looked like. I have mentioned I really don't like snow, haven't I??? And this is alot of snow for us. Sixth largest snow on record, 13 inches!

So, I have to admit apartment living is pretty good; somebody cuts the grass, people fix things when the break....I am pretty sure that means that they should plow the parking lots and sidewalks. Turns out when they do plow, they plow the empty spot next to you and then you can't even see the side of your truck. (This pic is before they plowed!) And I have to tell you, living in an apartment.... I do not own a shovel! I spent the afternoon digging out my truck with a kitchen broom! Trust me I know how silly I looked, cause all my neighbors were doing the same thing!

ADSR4 Challenge 6

Here were the rules:
Only 1 person on the team can particpate. Choose a layout from your partners gallery and scraplift it using the following direction:

  1. Take your chosen layout from your partners gallery and flip it either horizontally or vertically.
  2. Now take the layout and rotate it 45 degrees.
  3. You must use this new version as the sketch for your layout.
  4. When creating your layout you must use the EXACT same number of items that your partner used in the original layout, no more, no less.

ADSR4 challenge #5

This challenge was, for me, more difficult...You could not use any pictures!

here is the challenge:
Create a layout that has no photos on it, but includes at least 3 different and separate photo frames. Create a page to record and preserve special thoughts, feelings and/or memories with a little thought and planning and with the creative use of photo frames and journaling (although journaling is not required for this challenge).

ADSR4 challenges 3 & 4

Since challenge 5 is already posted, I wanted to share my layouts from challenges 3 and 4. Eek, only a little behind....

Challenge #3
Find the first layout you created that is still uploaded to a gallery and scraplift it using techniques, trends and concepts that you have learned since you did that original layout.

You can...
  • You can use a different kit, elements, papers, brushes, shapes, etc.
  • You can add and remove elements, papers, etc.
  • You can use a different sized canvas.
  • You can move things around and change the overall sketch of the layout.
  • You can use the first layout uploaded to any gallery.
You can not...
  • You can not add additional photos to the layout.
  • You can not remove any photos from the layout.
  • You can not add additional text to the layout. The only text that appears on the layout must be identical in verbiage to what it was originally.


The original layout I lifted is here.

Challenge #4
  1. The Art of it: Your LO must have artistic flair! Literally! Your LO must have at least 3 things "artsy" and/or "altered" on it.
  2. The Soul of it: You must journal something from your Soul. Something positive, heartfelt and meaningful to you in your life! Something you've learned, something you've gleaned from your life experience.

The theme is Cabin Fever
and Must include:
3 photos
4 papers only (no more or less)
8 different elements - at least 1 must be acrylic
2 different fonts

Thank goodness for Yahoo messenger and being able to chat and send photos back and forth. That made things a little easier, LOL

Anyway, here is our collaborative LO using the Radiation Collab by the Sunshine Designers!
