View Full Version : Oct 22nd through Oct 28th Challenge - It's all about YOU!!
BelovedKeepsakes
10-22-2009, 07:51 AM
The other day I was going through my scrapbooks and noticed while I scrap about everyone and everything... there really are not many pages about "just" me.
Which got me to thinking.... the whole reason for scrapping is to preserve our memories and to let the generations to come know who we are. If there are no pages just about me... how will they know that?
SO... this week's weekly challenged - hosted by me - Beloved Keepsakes (aka Lori) is to submit a layout that has to be all about you!!!
Some idea's:
A day in the life
Favorites (like favorite color, food, music)
What you would do if you won a million dollars
Hobbies or activities
What morals and values do you hope you pass on to other people
Uniquely Me (things that makes you unique)
Your many names (maiden, married, nicknames)
Hopes and Dreams
Your Faith
Hairstyles through the Years
It can be as serious or as wacky and quirky as you want it to be!!
All entries must be post here at this thread no later than Midnight Oct 28th! The winner will be determined by a poll of the VDBC Designers! And the prize? The prize is AWESOME.......
The winner will receive an "Adhesive Mega Pack" put together by me! (And if you know anything about me you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE My adhesives!!!)
This mega pack includes a Glue Glider Pro with a PermaTac cartridge, a re-positionable cartridge, the Crop and Glue vellum adhesive, and the Crop and Glue ribbon adhesive!!!!
So make sure you enter by the 28th - and just think you be leaving behind a legacy all about YOU!

Great idea Lori. Let me ask, would you like them to use your files, designer files from here, or anybodies files? :confused:
BelovedKeepsakes
10-22-2009, 10:59 AM
Nope - no cutter files required to enter....
But I was going to announce a little later -but I guess I will now (sheesh Ginger - Bahahaha) that IF they use a cutter design from the VDBC Store then they would be put into a drawing for a SPECIAL prize!!! And if it is one of MY DESIGNS they get two entries in the special drawing!!!!
So.... now there are two ways to win!!!

Oh wow, you guys rock! Hmmm--a scrapbook LO? I'm a card maker mostly--and since I'm working all this week, this weekend and next week I don't think I can get in on this one. I'm just awful about scrapping, my kids who are in college keep reminding me that I haven't done there baby books, school books etc---I just do too many other things. But I'll come and check out what you guys are doing this week.

I want to enter, but this one is hard. I don't take pictures of myself (unlike you?!) And I don't usually write about myself, either. Plus, it's intimidating to actually have to have a better layout than the others, instead of just winning a drawing. I know, you added a drawing, too, but it is still intimidating.
And we're all trying to get over the flu in my house. Now, that gives me an idea for the layout... But I don't think I want to go there.

Oh my Caz, Frist let me say I love it..
Now let me say that I really like
How you used it in digital format to show that cutter files can be used by those who don't own digital cutters but might be digi scrapbookers.
Love how you totally took the "Always Kiss Me Goodnight" title and broke it apart to use it the way you did. On first look I only saw te Always but then I saw the lips in the upper right hand corner.
U are great! I love your creativity.
Thanks so much!!

Alright, I got my layout done. Now remember, I am a card maker and have only made a couple of scrapbook layouts before, so be kind. :) I have been thinking of making an album of childhood memories/events and this seemed like a good place to start. My layout features a picture of me at about 20 months and shows the beginnings of my lifelong chocolate addiction.
I used Lori's "Bowl Licking Good" file for the title. I knew as soon as I saw that file that I would use it with this photo. Just a perfect match. My circle mat was embellished with a ring of holes and eyelets were added to some of those. I then added an element from Chris's "Fancy Medallions" file with a chocolate candy in the center. I also added a few chocolate candies to the corners of my journaling mat.
Thanks for looking and I would appreciate any and all feedback.
It is in my album here (http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/forum/album.php?albumid=37) and I will also attach it to this message.

Thank you for all of the wonderful feedback, everyone!
I was pretty happy with how it turned out, but I have such a hard time picking out papers and deciding on the composition of the layout. What I have begun doing (even with my card making) is cutting out the elements I know I want to use and playing around with them, then letting the project sit for a day or two. I find that if I just let the ideas percolate, a lot of times I can come up with something I am happy with. I just can't rush through a project.
Can't wait to see more entries. This has been a fun challenge.

Here is my layout. Got some time to finish, not to mention the vinyl wasn't cutting good, needed an adjustment and cleaned the blade holder out. This uses Lori's BK00302, I cut both the smaller ones in vinyl and black cardstock. I did cut them apart to add some extra branches, layered them, used a glitter pen on the cardstock and added a paper flower with a mini brad.

I used quite a few files on this-
Beloved Keepsakes- Thumbs Up, Summer Reading
Darcy's Designs- Trumpet Flower
Quilling Patch- freebie garden tools, freebie tea cup
Chris- Music titles and borders, Family titles, Mine is Chocolate, No Assembly Required, Love and Strength Card Fronts.
Hope it gives someone else some ideas!

Well here are a couple of layouts that I have done about me. Gee whiz I don't have a lot of pictures of just me -- hum, maybe that is because I am the picture taker in the family or we probably wouldn't have a whole lot of pictures of our kids. Anyway, the 1st is a layout of my college graduation day and the 2nd one is a recent picture of me. I know Lori and Darcy have both seen this one because I emailed it to them since I had used their files, but I can't recall if I have ever posted it here on the VDBC forum -- if I have, sorry.
lisaavolio
10-28-2009, 07:46 PM
I finished the negative version- mostly things I don't like.
Files used:
Beloved Keepsakes- thumbs up/thumbs down, Rock Band (for rock and the mic)
Chris- Fitness words, Halloween titles, A messy desk is a sign of genius
Darcy's Designs- Haircut
I saved room for Tina's Tattoo from her "Have-U" file, but I decided to add it tomorrow.
Sushi is a title I made from a font.
The "A Messy Desk" words are actually a variation on Chris' file. I wanted to remove the "is a sign of genius" part, since it doesn't fit the idea for the page. When I started deleting nodes, I had a couple of blobs from the line below. They looked so appropriately messy that I added blobs to several others. That gave me renewed respect for all of you designers- dealing with the nodes was a big learning experience for me. It took forever!
I had made it a personal challenge to only use VDBC files, or else make my own, so there are a few things I could have added. The page was crowded, so I quit, except for wanting that Tattoo title.

OK, here is my entry. I read an article a few years back that said to pick a week in your life and journal each day of the week each year.
Day 1- Best part of Today
Day 2- I read
Day 3- Today I ate
Day 4- The last person I talked to today
Day 5- I watched this on TV
Day 6- Right now I feel
Day 7- I woke up at
I have done the week starting with my birthday for the last 3 years, and it was so much fun looking back over the entries as I scrapped this page. And Lori- your life is in the details file just fit so perfect for this page, cause it truly is all about the details of my life that week.

the 2nd one is a recent picture of me. I know Lori and Darcy have both seen this one because I emailed it to them since I had used their files, but I can't recall if I have ever posted it here on the VDBC forum -- if I have, sorry.
I love this one Hailey!!! I actually have it in my additional photos of the store section!!!

I finished the negative version- mostly things I don't like.
Files used:
Beloved Keepsakes- thumbs up/thumbs down, Rock Band (for rock and the mic)
Chris- Fitness words, Halloween titles, A messy desk is a sign of genius
Darcy's Designs- Haircut
I saved room for Tina's Tattoo from her "Have-U" file, but I decided to add it tomorrow.
Sushi is a title I made from a font.
The "A Messy Desk" words are actually a variation on Chris' file. I wanted to remove the "is a sign of genius" part, since it doesn't fit the idea for the page. When I started deleting nodes, I had a couple of blobs from the line below. They looked so appropriately messy that I added blobs to several others. That gave me renewed respect for all of you designers- dealing with the nodes was a big learning experience for me. It took forever!
I had made it a personal challenge to only use VDBC files, or else make my own, so there are a few things I could have added. The page was crowded, so I quit, except for wanting that Tattoo title.

OK, here is my entry. I read an article a few years back that said to pick a week in your life and journal each day of the week each year.
Day 1- Best part of Today
Day 2- I read
Day 3- Today I ate
Day 4- The last person I talked to today
Day 5- I watched this on TV
Day 6- Right now I feel
Day 7- I woke up at
I have done the week starting with my birthday for the last 3 years, and it was so much fun looking back over the entries as I scrapped this page. And Lori- your life is in the details file just fit so perfect for this page, cause it truly is all about the details of my life that week.
Thanks for another great challenge.

I love it Heather!!!
Pretty awesome!!! I like to think about 50 years from now when you can look back and see the "details" of your life when you were younger - How cool is that?!?!?!
GREAT JOB!!!!

WOW girls, great layouts! Love them all. Here is one I did a few years ago/before digital cutters, just a QK squeeze, I just took a quick pic, it's framed on my wall, but it's similar to Lori with camera layout. I thought I should enter it since it's about me..there are so few in my albums. LOL

Congrats, especially to Caz. Your pages are incredible. One of these days I'm going to play with digital scrapbooking, and you're a good motivator.
Thanks to Lori for hosting this. I never would have done those 2 pages without the challenge.
