Well this is it...

the LAST challenge for BOTCT at Digiscrap Addicts! *sob*

This has been great fun, even though it's very unlikely we'll win lol!

This week's challenge was this...

We had to use 10 different products from our designer's store...we were NOT allowed to use photos or frames...and we had to have a numbered 1-10 list somewhere on the page.

So here's mine...

and here's the link for the gallery where you will find all the credits

BOTCT Challenge 2

2010-10-21T05:56:00.000-07:00

Well for this challenge we had to put all our team members into a list, and then scraplift a page from the person in front and behind you on the list into one page...we also had to use one of the words 'yesterday, today or tomorrow' on our page too.

I lifted the page frame and the single centre top photo from this gorgeous page from Helen

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1149724&title=follow-the-leaves&cat=all

and the paper blocks and random elements from this beautiful page from Lisa

http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=344170&title=laughter&cat=all

and came up with this!

http://digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=237326&ppuser=4601

Well I am competing for the first time this year, as part of the Randi Oh Designs team...and the first challenge is complete! It was a tough one, but I got there in the end with my page...lol!

We have to use only products made by our designer throughout the competition. Then for this challenge we had to come up with an equation to use on the page (we chose 365 = one year older), and then use everything on this list on the page - no more, no less!

10 hearts
9 flowers
8 stitches
7 buttons
6 frames
5 ribbons
4 papers
3 photos
2 alphas
1 font

Well I've spent most of the day setting this up....it's a new forum for Digiscrappers from the UK to come and hang out without the time differences that we get when chatting to scrappers abroad....we can chat about UK things too! That's why I thought DigiscrappersUK was such a good name....it does exactly what it says on the tin lol! We're all about keeping scrapping fun...so there's not loads of rules and regs, just a few guidelines.... and fun!

So please, come over have a look around, and if you like what you see then feel free to register (even if you're not UK based - everyone is welcome!) and you'll see a bit more!

Page Two...

The poem reads:

"A wee bit of heaven, drifted down from above
A hand full of happiness, a heart full of love
The mystery of life, so sacred and sweet
The giver of joy, so deep and complete.
Precious and priceless, so loveable too
The world's sweetest miracle....baby - it's you. "
