Season 5!! - Challenge 1 - Kerri's layout

Woohoo! I think we could honestly say that we have been waiting for this ever since Season 4 finished!

It's so exciting to be racing again! I love the challenges and fun we have doing it together. And the skype lines have been busy again today, Leigh was still up when the first challenge went live and by the time I got to the computer had just about finished her layout - only sleep got in the way of her posting here first!
I spent most of the day working out my layout in my head - but let me tell you the challenge rules.
We have to introduce our partner, and our layout must be lifted from one of theirs from a gallery of our choice.
Well I chose to lift this awesome layout of Leigh's - Silly Monster!


And this is what I came up with

Challenge #11 - Leigh's Layout

Ooops is right!!! We both fell behind. I had a little bit of a hard time with this challenge. Not in choosing the picture or the question, but in finding a kit that would work for the picture and for me. I finally found one I thought would work....and in the end, I was really happy with the result. So here is my Challenge #11....Good Luck?.....

Ok, so we are already finished with Challenge #12, and Kerri should be getting it onto the blog sometime really soon. We are really proud of the results of this last one. We had to work together to do it and I think we work really well together.....though I was probably a little picky for Kerri's taste....LOL. Just kidding Kerri. Anyway, we hope you have enjoyed the race with us. It's not quite over so.....Until next time.....

Blessings!!!

Challenge 10 - Roadblock

Well, a little late getting this layout posted. Challenge 10 was a roadblock and I had to complete this one. So I had to do an interview of Kerri with at least 5 questions, I gave her many more than that because she had to work the next day and wanted something to do at work. Then the layout had to be primarily 2 colors, and you had to use elements from 2 different designers. With the new collab that came out at Been There Scrapped That by Liz- SweetDigiScraps and Valarie Ostrom choosing the kit was easy. The hardest part of this challenge was choosing questions that would allow me to learn new things about Kerri. With that said I give you....KayJay's Journey...

We have moved on to Challenge 11 and 12.....this is the last week of the ADSR!! I can't believe it has gone by so quickly. We will be back soon with the next layouts. Until next time....

Blessings!!!!

Challenge #9 - Leigh's Layout

This has been a really hard week for me, and I think it has for Kerri also, so as a result we both are running late with our layouts for the Race. I spent the last part of last week at the Dr's office, I had re-injured my back after more than 10 years and seriously if you haven't ever had kids before this pain ranks right up there with labor. So with a shot of cortisone, some muscle relaxers, pain killers and a heating pad I am almost back to normal with that. Then I spent the first part of this week dealing with an abscessed tooth, again not fun. So with some antibiotics that is now starting to go away and I am feeling almost like a normal person again. But enough about my personal life, since you are here to see our Race layouts. Challenge 9 was interesting, it had to include pictures of two generations (if it was in one picture that was fine), a flower, lace, a metal object, and a "vintage" or "ephemera" object like an old clock, or and old book. It took me a while to find a picture I wanted to use, then with some thinking I knew what kit I wanted to use.....just one problem.....it's been retired. Hmmmmm, well lets see, so I started through my stash of kits on CD and what did I find??? The kit I wanted to use, I already had it (I thought I might have which is why I was going through my stash). So, I know what you're saying....let's see the layout already......OK, here you go......it's called Time.......

Ok so I'm off to start on Challenge 10, it's a Roadblock and since Kerri did the last one guess what??? I get to do this one. I have some ideas for it so maybe I can get started on the layout and finish it tomorrow after I get to talk with Kerri. So until next time....

Blessings!!!

Challenge #7 - Leigh's Take

Well, like Kerri said this Challenge was a pretty easy one, and now that I have seen Kerri's layout I am surprised that our layouts are somewhat similar, though they have some big differences. Like minds really do think alike....LOL!!!! They really made this challenge easy by saying that we could recolor anything in the mini-kit and also we could use anything from other kits that we wanted, just that we HAD to use the 10 items from the mini-kit in the layout at least once. Ok, so here's my take on the challenge....my layout called Swinging....

So we are more than half way through the race at this point, only 5 more challenges to get through. It will be interesting to see what is in store for us. We have certainly had to think "Out of the Box" in the challenges that have been presented till now. It's been great fun though and time has certainly flown. Until next time then....

Blessings!!!

Kerri - Challenge 7

Compared with the other challenges this one was an easy one! We get a mini kit and have to use all pieces in it for a layout!

Here is what I made with the bits and bobs, the picture was taken this weekend, its my niece Mia and my SIL Ramona

Bye 4 now

Challenge #6

this challenge was a so-called "road block", meaning that only one of us needed to do it. As Leigh said, I volunteered. So here is what I had to do, I had to browse leigh's gallery find a layout to scraplift, then flip it over and turn it 45° and use it as a sketch, but it had to have the same amount of elements on it.
OK, so here is the layout Leigh helped me choose (too many great ones in her gallery, so I needed some help)
this is the layout flipped and turned, so that you know what I am talking aboutAnd here is my layout based on Leighs

It was again great fun, and I am now looking forward to Sunday when the next challenge is posted
Bye 4 now

Challenge #2 Layout - Intersection

Here is our layout for Challenge #2, it was an "intersection" which meant that Kerri and I got to work together to make one layout. Really a lot of fun, and a lot of Skype talking back and forth about what we thought would be right about the layout. So here is what we came up with.

We are having a lot of fun so far, and we are looking forward to advancing to the next round on Sunday. Here's hoping that we did everything right with this last layout!! Until next time....

Blessings!!!

Challenge #1 - Leigh's Layout

Yep, I knew that Kerri would make me look bad.....LOL!! I knew that she would have her layout done within the first day. Me on the other hand, I kept getting sidetracked. I knew two days ago exactly which picture I wanted to use, but my DH had other plans for my free time. And NO it's NOT what you are thinking!!! Get your minds out of the GUTTER!!!!! He wanted to go shopping with the Christmas money that we got. He had big plans!!! Ok, so enough about that, on to my layout. This was an interesting one for me. I have NEVER been able to cut or rip pictures at all....EVER. That was the reason I started digital scrapbooking in the first place. I could manipulate the pictures without really "hurting" them. Anyway, so I got to rip a picture in my own little way....oh and I got to use my new Bamboo Fun Tablet also....Woo Hoo. So here it is....

We have already gotten our assignment for Challenge #2, and Kerri and I are hard at work getting everything ready for that one. Thanks for coming by and looking this has already been a lot of fun.

Blessings!!

Just 2 more Days....

Just 2 more days until the Race kicks off!! Excited and a lot nervous here, and hoping that at least someone will come by the blog and offer some encouragement for us. This is our first time in the race but I certainly hope that it's not our last, and I really hope that we are able to complete the race. They had a kick-off chat tonight...but with the possibility of having that many people in a chat well, to be honest, I have a hard time keeping up if there are more than about 20 in a chat. Just too much going on and the text moves to fast for me to even try to read....LOL. So, my last task is to go and read the rules one last time to make sure I know what is expected completely and to try and upload one layout to my ADSR gallery and I should be set.....(mental note....check with Kerri and see that she has done the same....LOL) With us living in seperate time zones it might prove to make this a little interesting. Thanks to all who have come to visit, and I will try to get a C-box up soon too. Looking forward to reading all the comments on our layouts. So....until next time.....

Blessings!!!
