Week two of the Amazing Digiscrapping Race started out with an enjoyable challenge. Gottapixel was the host, and this was the challenge:
Find the first layout you created that is still uploaded to a gallery and scraplift it using techniques, trends and concepts that you have learned since you did that original layout.
You can...
* You can use a different kit, elements, papers, brushes, shapes, etc.
* You can add and remove elements, papers, etc.
* You can use a different sized canvas.
* You can move things around and change the overall sketch of the layout.
* You can use the first layout uploaded to any gallery. This does not necessarily mean that it's the first layout you ever did.When you view your gallery, at whichever site it is at, it needs to be the first layout uploaded to that gallery. Example: This is my gallery at Gotta Pixel (I have other galleries on other sites). If you go to the very last page, and find the very last image, that is the first layout I uploaded to Gotta Pixel. That is the layout that needs to be used.
You can not...
* You can not add additional photos to the layout.
* You can not remove any photos from the layout.
* You can not add additional text to the layout; journaling, alphas that spell out a word, word art, journaling. The only text that appears on the layout must be identical in verbiage to what it was originally. You can change the font, you can convert text into an alpha. If your layout previously used an alpha or wordart, you can convert that alpha/wordart to text or use a new alpha/wordart to spell the same thing. When you are done though, you must have the same words that were on the old layout, on the new layout.
This was a pretty wordy set of rules which boiled down to "Remodel your layout, don't change pictures or words". This was the first layout I added to my Viovio gallery, a terrible example of scrapbooking which I had come to hate:
And this is what I did to it:
Definitely much better. Don't you love it when you see how much you have progressed??
The second challenge for week 2 was at Tangie Baxter Designs.
1. The Art of it: Your LO must have artistic flair! Literally! Your LO must have at least 3 things "artsy" and/or "altered" on it--(such as but not limited to: paint splatters, a paintbrush, paint spills, crayon doodles, goopy glitter, watercolors, canvas AND/OR altered art items such as wings on photos, art dolls, vintage doodads, ephemera, etc). Really stretch yourself and try something "artsy" that you haven't tried before!
2. The Soul of it: You must journal something from your Soul. Something positive, heartfelt and meaningful to you in your life! Something you've learned, something you've gleaned from your life experience. Perhaps something you would want to pass on to the next generation! (It can even be your favorite quote and why it touches/inspires you) Uplift us, make us smile--inspire us! You must share your journaling with us-if it's hard to read or blended into the background-part of the challenge is to share your journaling in your description.
Ugh! Artsy. Not my style, but that was what I was doing in the race, trying out new ideas and styles. Here is what I ended up with (and for those of you who have asked how in the hell I got to Italy, here's the answer!). Make sure you click on the images if you want to read the journaling on any of these pages:
Now I don't know if I hit the "artistic flair" part, but it was a lot of fun doing it. (Looking back though, I wish I had put the sinking boat in, even if it sank in the Columbia, and not in the ocean!) The most fun was looking through old "analog"photos to find the old ones of us I needed. (Wow, look at that perm I had!) And the moral of the story is one I continue to stick to, one that keeps me on track.
Come back soon for week 3!
