Okay I'm waist deep in the
TallyScrapper Olympics Challenges now. Here are the three that I've done so far
CHALLENGE #1: Progress
RULES: "Progress" must be in the title! Layout must include the olympic circles (any size, color, layout, just have circles)
RESULTS: I actually liked the layout and colors used here.
CHALLENGE #2: "no, no, no"
RULES: No patterned paper, no stickers, no rub-ons, no brads, practically no nothing! Must incorporate staples or tape, must include "no, no, no" somewhere on layout.
RESULTS: I wasn't totally thrilled with how this turned out, not quite what my minds eye had invisioned.
Well the base cardstock (white) was a solid white piece that I randomly stamped w/paint. I used rust, evergreen and royal blue paints, which coordinates perfectly w/cardstock in this layout.
The BIG circle center is the title "No 3" (which means no, no, no). The title No 3 was freehand cut in the green cs. I used staples in each corner to anchor the mat (blue cs) and did my journaling on them.
Journaling reads:
No, it's not easy being a mommy!
Everything is no, no, no!
No quite time for me,
No privacy in the bathroom,
No rest for the weary.
My time is not my own!
I wouldn't give it up for anything!

CHALLENGE #3: 95 (the number of medals the USA had received thus far in the Olympics)
RULES: (too much to type, see comments below photo)
In this challenge came about due to the number of metals the US had received (hence the numbers 29, 34, & 32 .... and the colors gold, bronze and silver)
Here it is and it is what it is.........
GOLD - Large Brad in center of flowers
SILVER - Brads at the end of paper strips
BRONZE - "95" & "ME" (Also serves double duty as stickers)
29 Pcs PP = Six multi-layer flowers that have been chalked and inked, paper strips upper left corner. Tag has been stamped w/lines therefore turning it into patterned paper. Tab on end of tag.
34 Stickers = 95 & ME were bronze/copper letters that were ran thru xyron. Rest of stickers are found in the wording around photo mat.
32 Brads = 20 along the edge of the photo mat, 6 on flowers, & 6 at the end of the paper strips.95 things = on the tag ... and THAT was the hardest part about this challenge. I'm a humble person and thinking of that many things to me was kinda like bragging and that's not my style ... so, it is what it is.
Hope you like THEM!
