Scrapbooksteals.com's On-line Crop Challenges

My favorite scrapbooking store, Scrapbooksteals.com, held an online crop on Friday, February 24, 2012. On Thursday they issued challenges that I just loved participating in.

 Challenge #1 (aka Amethyst #1)

Here is my interpretation:

I used craft paper for the background, Authentique's Gathering, AC Thickers, and whatever buttons I found.

Challenge 2- Keepin’ It Real: Your challenge is to create a layout about something real. No froofing up the details to paint a picture perfect memory. Scrapbook those snotty noes, or the mountains of laundry that never seem to be conquered. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s something that looking back down the road, your posterity will realize that you were a normal, “real” person too!

For this layout I used Bo Bunny's Life is a Party, AC Thickers, Pebbles embellishments.

Challenge 3- Scrap that Stash!: Where does the crafty magic happen? Do you have a studio or a little nook in a closet? Wherever it may be, let’s see those pages featuring the wheres, whats and whens of the paper crafty mania in your world.

For this layout I used MME Lime Twist and AC Thickers and Embellishments.

Challenge 4- Something Old, Something New: We all know the old age adage, “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.” Well this challenge is to create anything ranging from a card to a piece of home decor, using 3 of the 4 somethings.

I used Authentique's Genuine for the paper, AC Thickers, and other embellishments that I found hanging around.

I had a ton of fun doing these challenges and i also love being able to go to the Scrapbooksteals warehouse for these chats and hang and scrap. It was truly a blast!
