Gingerscraps - Survivor - Craft Fair - Week1

 It's time again for Gingerscraps Scrapping Survivor... #11 in fact and this year we're off to the craft fair. This means that the challenge writeups get a crafty feel but don't have to be limited to that theme... anything goes. There are weekly challenges, immunity challenges, tribal councils and all... but nobody gets voted off unless you don't complete the challenge by the deadline... so here's holding thumbs I can get it all done.

The first challenge was loaded on the 16th and is all about Woodwork. Here is my take:

I used Connie Prince's Keep Climbing kit - a wonderful kit with lots of motivation quotes and gorgeous wordart

Gingerscraps - Scrap Survivor - Week 5

Another week at home... it's been an interesting week with announcements on tv from Mr Ramaphosa about all sorts of Covid-19 things. The big one is whether or not the lockdown will be lifted and if so by how much come the end of the month. The decision to have different levels definitely sounds good, the question though is where do we fit in? At this stage we will just have to wait for further clarification.

One of the good things abut being at home is that I get to do some of the little things I enjoy, like reading, scrapping and baking. Sooooo this week's survivor challenge was really an easy one for me.

I had baked on Tuesday and taken photos as I went and then on Wednesday the challenge was released so I  knew exactly what to scrap.

Part of this challenge was also to make the recipe page.

 

Now that Scrap Survivor is over I will have to find a few more challenges to do. I still have a few that I want to do this month so best get scrapping (hehehe).

Gingerscraps - Scrap Survivor - Week 4

This week's challenge for scrap survivor was lots of fun... and not so much of a challenge for me as it's actually how I scrap... mix and match.

The challenge is to fuse 2 templates and at least 3 kits together. Well I used bits from 8 different kits on my page.

So now I just have to wait till Wednesday to find out what the final challenge it... hoping it's something fun and easy too.

Gingerscraps - Scrap Survivor - Week 3

Another week of challenges for Scrap Survivor that are stretching me to learn a new skill... hopefully I did it correctly.

This week we had to do extraction on two photos... not something I did a lot of when paper scrapping so it really is a learning curve for me to now try this digitally too. Here's my layout:

I had to resort to using Photoscape on my pc to get these pics edited as they were tooooo finicky to do on my table. I put the whole page together in PixelLab in the end. Just kept it faily simple to keep the emphasis on the photo story.

There was also an immunity challenge this week... all about scrapping our favourite drink... no guesses as to what mine is... hehee.

So that's week 3 survived... now to await the next lot of challenges.

Gingerscraps - Scrap Survivor - Week 2

The challenges for this week have been different and stretched me a bit.

This challenge I've been battling a bit with. The challenge is all about blending the photo into the background... well PixelLab can do most of that I guess, but this user is not all clued up on the finer bits so it took me a while longer to do than I had planned. I think I am finally happy with my layout.

We also have an immunity challenge - we had to use only the colours in the Sugar & Spice bakery. That was easy enough as I had bought the collab kit. Just used non-cooking photos.

I also used a template from Miss Fish for my layout....  more photos from Wyndford - these from last year.

Well I guess I've survived week two of these challenges and have learnt new stuff.... am looking forward to the new challenge on Wednesday.

Gingerscraps - Scrap Survivor 2020 - Week 1

I signed up to do the Scrap Survivor at Gingerscraps which has the theme of Sugar & Spice Bakery. Thankfully not all layouts have to be about food. Each week's challenge must use 100% of Gingerscraps products,which I can do as I have built up quite a stash over the past few months.

So Week 1's challenge has beenposted - a simple recipe challenge to ease us into it ... here's what I managed to create:

I am happy with the outcome... kept it fairly simple even though there is a lot on the page. I did a scraplift of a layout I saw on instagram from PaperIssues. Looking forward to getting the next challenge next week and seeing what else is in store for us!
