Happy Hour Crop - other challenges

Throughout the weekend, I completed 10 of the challenges (there were over 20).  I haven't posted the cards.

1. The charity challenge called "Tie on One" -  card using ribbon or twine
2. Jen's Coaster challenge - see below
3. Wendy's "Chocolate Monkey" challenge - see below
4. Lorraine's Drink Straw challenge - card using banner or flags
5. Corry's "Irish Coffee" - card using lots of texture
6. Laurel's "Pumpkin Martini" - card using a pumpkin or pumpkin colour
7. Rosie's Layered Drink - card using lots of layers
8. Jess' "Blackberry Sip" - see below
9. Connie's "Appletini" - card using fruit images
10. Rebecca's "Black Pearl" - card using the colour black and pearls.

For the coaster challenge, I took two coasters, covered them with patterned paper and connected them with hinges. This will hold Alaina's yearly school picture (here she is in JK) that I can swap out every year.

For Wendy's "Chocolate Monkey" she wanted a layout with a monkey (or any other animal) on it.  I hadn't scrapped the photos of me meeting Curious George at Universal Studios, yet, so how perfect was THAT?

For the "Blackberry Sip" challenge, Jess wanted a layout or card that featured technology so I did a layout about my iPad that I love so much.  Check out those Angry Birds (my favourite game). 

ScrapShotz Happy Hour On-line Crop

This weekend was the ScrapShotz on-line crop and the theme was "Happy Hour".  All challenges had to be based on a bar drink.  Each DT member had to come up with a challenge for a layout and a non-layout.

My first challenge was a "Rusty Nail" which meant the participant had to come up with a card or layout using the colour rust and some metal.  Here is my example:

The photo is of our friend's cat, Rooni back in 2006. Doesn't she look like Marlon Brando from the movie "The Wild One"?

My 2nd non-layout challenge was for a drink called "White Christmas Dream" and I came up with this ornament.  Isn't it cute?

Misty - 2011

For a DT Challenge over at ScrapShotz to use a one word title.

These photos were taken at the campsite in New Hampshire this September. 

I used the October kit.

Escapee Cat - 2011

For a DT Challenge over at ScrapShotz to use clipart.

I used Fancy Pants - Happy Together line and a PageMaps sketch for this layout.  The clipart of the little white cat is from Microsoft Office.

This layout shows our cat, Cassie trying to escape out the camper window. 

Thanksgiving - 2011

This is the 2nd layout from the CTMH WOTG using the Dreamin Kit.

I was up at my parents over Thanksgiving this year and got to see my sister and her family as well.

Alaina - 2011

At my monthly CTMH WOTG, we did 2 layouts using the Dreamin kit.  This first layout is of my Great-Niece.  The first photo was taken on Thanksgiving weekend.  The other 2 photos are her JK photos taken in the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011.  She is definitely, a CUTIE PIE!

Recipe for Success - 2011

For a challenge over at ScrapShotz to do a layout with a recipe.  Since I don't cook, I thought I would do up a layout about my love of SupperWorks.

On the Road Again - 2011

For Wendy's CT challenge, she asked us to scraplift her layout.  So I made a companion page for the White Mountains (NH) layout since the mountains shown in the sideview mirror photo are of the same mountains.  Which meant I used the October kit as well.

ScrapShotz October Kit - 2011

Just before leaving for our vacation in September, ScrapShotz contacted me and asked if I would like to be on their Design Team full time (for a year)!  Of course I said YES!

So my first assignment was with the October kit and I have completed 4 layouts and 4 cards (not shown). 

Here they are:
