Camp-Friendzy

I've woken up a bit late but as Camp goes on all summer (in the USA!) I thought I'd give it a go and try my hand again at a few extra challenges over the next few months.  Why not join me for a few extra fun moments at Scrap Friendzy.

I did this two years ago (or was it last year?) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

October sketchfest

For the month of October I participated in a scrapbook Sketchfest over at ScrapFriendzy.... we were given 13 sketches and 2 bonus ones to scrap.... and if possible you could do some more than once simply by turning them.... each layout done earned 20 ptz with the extra ones earning 10 ptz.  I didn't manage to do all the sketches but am very please with my layouts that I did do.

These next two got me Pick of the Day on the 29th of October.... earning me an extra 10 ptz

Then this last weekend I managed to scrap these 7 layouts.... six of which were all done on Sunday.... we had a power failure for the whole day so I just hibernated in my scraproom and became very productive!

We also earned points for posting in the forum and for leaving praise in the gallery.... easy points to earn with a little effort.  My total points at the end of the month amounts to...407.... lots of fun I reckon!

Scrap-U Report Back

School is now officially over at Scrap Friendzy.... there were LOTS of fun challenges, games to play and layouts to create.... unfortunately I didn't manage to do nearly as much as I would have liked, but maybe next time will be better.  Here is what I did manage to create:

You can see all my Pre-Assignmentz here


Class Assignments
1: {Music} - we had to create our own music paper and then use it as an embellishment.... I used mine in the border as well as for some flower centres.  I also stamped music all over the background.

2. {Home Economics} - use fabric and make a flower... well I made a few! Plus we had to do stitching

Extra Credit Assignments
1. {FOREIGN LANGUAGE}- we had to make a layout and give it a title using a foreign language... well I chose Italian seeing as my layout was all about pizza.... Delizioso means "Yummy"

After School Activities
1. {Football} - here we had to add texture and do some lacing so my thoughts immediately went to school shoes!

2. {Dance} - for this task we had to choose a choreographer and scraplift her layout... I chose one from Michelle van Wyk.

3. {FieldTrip} - the task was to raid your scrap stash and photograph one item for each letter of the alphabet... I think I did a pretty awesome job.

• Around the block stamps
• Bo Bunny bird
• Cutting mate
• Date stamp
• Embossing tool
• Flowers
• Green smooch
• Heidi Swapp edge distresser
• Imaginesce paper
• Jigsaw pieces
• Kaisercraft music stamp
• Lavender star brads
• My Minds Eye paper
• Needles
• Orange Big Bite
• Piercer
• Quickutz dies
• Rulers
• Sandpaper block
• Typewriter font stamps
• Upikit butterfly brads
• Violet brad
• Wet wipes
• X letter
• Yellow brad
• Zebra border

And that was that for Scrap-U for me.... I loved it and had lots of fun.

Scrap-U PreAssignmentz

Though classes only start on the 1st of September at Scrap-U... there are a few Pre-Assignmentz going on... so here's what I've done for the challenges:

Pre-Assignment #1 {Back To School Fashion}
Take a picture of a piece of clothing and scrap a LO using the colors as inspiration!  ALSO........include some stitching on your LO!!!

So I took a photo of my fav socks

And then I scrapped this page

The photo was taken by Michelle van Wyk of myself, Judi & Gayle scrapping at the Tsholofelo charity scrap day

Pre-Assignment #2 {Schedules}
Print out a blank calendar for September then "pretty up" that calendar! SO I used my Outlook email calendar and turned it into a pinboard

Pre - Assignment #3 {Lunch Box}
There were 9 lunch bags to pic from for inspiration!

Then.......................
Make a Sandwich/ (At least 3 pp's)
Grab some Chips / (Use Chipboard)
Get some Juice / (Use paint or mist)
Bring a snack / (Use your choice of embellishments)

So this is what I made:
