BPC Creative Crop

BPC's Free 12 hour Creative Crop on National Scrapbooking Day provided tons of inspiration and 12 challenges, one each hour throughout the day. I completed five of those challenges that Saturday.

Challenge #1 issued by Claudine Hellmuth was to create a layout or project using text. (See my page here.)

Challenge #2 issued by Stacy Julian was to scrapbook a photo of someone you love with TEN products, TEN techniques and TEN words. This was a true challenge for me when it came to techniques. I chose photos of my great-nephew riding falling off of Robbie's wooden rocking horse.

10 products – cardstock, patterned paper, yellow border strips, black border strip, playing card, black foam letters, horseshoe die cut, journal tag, help sticker, What’s Up bubble sticker

10 techniques – distressing, inking, tearing, hand drawn stitching, clustering, matting photos, layering, punching, hand journaling, intentional imperfection (this is a term Stacy used for her technique of making something not perfect on purpose)
10 words - Andrew tries out Uncle Robbie's wooden rocking horse. Aug 2008

Challenge #3 issued by Megan Hoeppner from CK magazine was to spend a few minutes organizing your space. Since I've recently organized most of my supplies, I chose two shelves that needed to be straightened because I'd piled items on top of the boxes instead of putting them away.

Tomorrow I'll share my layouts from the other two challenges I completed.
