Olympic Tally Challenges

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!

Fuze'd with Fun

Here's a little something I pulled together for an altered item challenge on TallyScrapper. The idea behind this challenge was to take something not designed to store scrapbooking supplies and convert it. I just love the sleek design on this bottle and had to use this for my creation. I used the paper I used was Prima Marketing's Notion (#602208). I used Stampin-Up Dimensional Glaze to pop the dark dots on the patterned paper. I just absolutely love the little flower ontop of the lid.

Well Poooh & a Whoo Hoo!

First the well poooooh! I didn't make the TallyScrapper DT, but that sure won't discourage me from trying again AND Again. Persistence pays off for stalkers (sometimes). I just realize that I was up against some really talented gals! So to those gals that make the DT ... CONGRATULATIONS and I can't wait to see what you bring us for your tour of duty.

Now the Whoo Hoo! On my challenge I participated in about "HAPPINESS IS..." on Tally....... I placed second. Not first, but I had some stiff competition! Whoo hoo! Still happy with second!

I've also just noticed that GutterGirlz has their new prompt in play! Hmmmmm, has my wheels turning .... so many possibilities! Check them out!

Where's a Sugah Daddy when U Need One?

Uh oh. I think I'm in trouble. I wonder where a sugah daddy is when you need one? I've been browsing through Tally Scrapper's Stamps and Chipboard and have started my list. Maybe I can beg dh to be the sugah daddy! Hmmmmm!

DT Calls and I tried to answer!

We'll I really want to be on a Design Team that is active! I have pulled this creation together based on guidelines established by GutterGirlz.

The theme is I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN (Shania Twain song) and must incorporate panty hose. All the gals layouts that I saw were great. They were sexy. I dont have that hot little bod some of those gals do and am not really a girlie girl. With this in mind it helped me create the following layout for their challenge. I took the liberty to show the 'other' side of being a woman...... maybe you'll get a kick out of it. I love to place humor in layouts when I can.

Let me know what you think.
