Challenge #9 Disney Layouts for Diana

This is a partial swap challenge with all created pages going to Diana to help her get her Disney Trip pictures done.

These are 12 x 12 layouts using our best work.  Pictures to use are available but you must contact Diana directly.  I may be able to set up a special online account for us to go to instead of going into Diana's personal account...Diana is that ok?

If you pick particular pictures that you are going to use, please let us know so we all aren't doing the same pics.  If you aren't going to use pics, that's ok too......I'm sure just general layouts for Disney would be greatly appreciated.

This one will not have a 1 week deadline, I'm setting the deadline for 1 month from now for a mailing date.  If you finish sooner, wonderful, send them directly to Diana.  If you want to take the entire month, that's ok too.

Let's Get Diana caught up!!

Bunny Town

Bunny Town is just a cute svg file! I'm having "issues" with my computer so I was unable to complete the font. All supplies I had on hand. The "little one" is my niece Aubrey. She is a doll baby! I'll get the title on when I Windows 7 arrives in the snail mail! Vista is not my friend anymore! Thanks for looking.

Tear Bear Bunny using the Bunny Town Collection

Ok, maybe I got a little distracted this week!!

Challenge #8 Completed

Ok, I'm calling this one done....it has driven me crazy all week.  At some point I want to fix the word EGGS since it looks a bit out of place....looking for suggestions on that PLEASE!!

The challenge was to use the Bunny Town collection - but I also used the Bella & Baxtor Elves collection to get the paint brush.  I also used one of the eggs Renee sent us.  I'm not sure how many times I tore this layout apart before I finally just glued it all down and said DONE!

Lion Freebie

Is that new lion download not the cutest!? I can't wait to use him on one of Ryan's layouts. I am so glad you told us to sign up for their freebie Wendy.

I am very tempted to buy the other books too! I have not cut out my bunny yet (yes I know I am starting to get behind), but they are so cute. And they don't look too hard to put together. Could make cute mini albums! :)

The Navigation Bar is Fixed!!

I know SOME of you were having problems posting because the navigation bar in the upper right hand corner had disappeared.  Well it seems it had been running with the widgets I had lost.  I found our widgets before but just captured the navbar.

Hopefully this makes things easier to post.  I still have to figure out how to get the font fixed up.  Cross your fingers!!

Challenge #7 Completed

This is using the Snowman Collection (snowmen) and the Whimsical Winter Collection (birds).  All the paper was what I had on hand.  I even used pictures, Mistie will be so proud.

SCAL Help

Ok girls, can you guys help me. I am sitting here playing with SCAL, but am a little confused.

Now when I try to import a svg file, there is the color folder and the layer folder. I am using the color folder. Is that the only one we should be doing? Is the layer folder different? Now if I import each file and put it in a different quadrant on the mat, how do I make sure they are the same size so they layer ok? They are all coming in at different sizes. And I am not sure if when I resize them to be the same size they will print out ok. I am working on the brr now. And have started working on the frames. I have watched a few videos, but am still confused.

I have to go give kids a bath now. Any help would be appreciated. TIA! Once I get over this first hurdle I should be fine after this one. :) Thanks.

I BROKE IT!!

Ok, maybe trying to add bells and whistles didn't work.....I've lost my widgets!!  Has anyone seen them??

Love the new Blue in Town!!!

SCAL Challenge Complete!!!

Ok... as you know I was really excited to use my new toy and I really really love it!!! This is how it came out, um... not sure if the snowman is how he is supposed to be but i thought he turned out cute, so that's all that matters,right? No carts on this one, it's all from the svg file and a few 3d stickers from a clearance pack I had. The blue paper is DCWV shimmer stack, the other paper was white but I wanted to try some inking on it, not sure if I like how it came out or not, I embossed snowflakes in clear then inked over them and sprayed it with white glimmer mist. The blue paper has the snowflakes as well, they didn't show up too well in the pics. Flock and glitter on all the "snow" and some bling. Guess that's about it.

Challenge 6

Here is my challenge. I don't have a picture because I just took it within the past 2 weeks and I have not had a chance to print it yet. But one morning my son was helping me cook my eggs for breakfast. He was standing on a chair at the stove and had a spatula. The main cut was the spatula, but my challenge was the turn over as a title. As soon as I looked though FMK (which I wanted to use because I HAD to have it but have not used it yet :)) I knew I wanted to use that one. So I felt proud of myself that I finally did a layout with some cricut cuts. :)

Challenge #7 (due 2/21/10)

GOOD MORNING LADIES!! Here comes Challenge #7 and you guessed it, it involves SCAL2.

The file I'm going to share with you includes size circles (yeah I know you're thinking what the devil is she talking about???). The size circles allow you to create perfect size pieces for layering. I use the color files when I import the .svg into SCAL2. With each color comes a small circle that needs matched to the next color. Please remember to hit keep proporations BEFORE you start sizing your file. Also remember when placing your file on your mat that SCAL2 is about 1/4 off when you cut. Please use some scrap paper for playing BEFORE you use your beautiful paper to cut your first thing.

So here's the challenge: Using the following file, create a double page layout (can be 12 x 12 or any size you want) but you must have at least 4 photo mats, 4 colors, 4 embellishments and at least 1 item from the SCAL file that I picked.

SNOWMANCOLLECTION...I will email each of your the file. Let me know if you don't get it. If there are any people joining us, please email me at wleitel@windstream.net with CHALLENGE #7 in the subject and I will get you the file as well. If you don't have SCAL2, that is not a problem....there is a PDF file that will allow you to print the file and hand piece it.

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY SCRAPPING!!

Are we ready for a challenge?

Renee, are you taking this one or shall I issue a challenge? I have one in mind but it can be the following week. I know there are a couple unfinished challenges, but that's ok ladies!! That's the fun of this blog.....

Let me know and stay warm out there!!
