Toooooooo much fun!!!!!

As you all know we had our first (A Pile Of Scrap)online crop this weekend from Friday until Sunday night..... Well, let me tell you it exceeded my wildest expectations...... What a fun time.... I did miss some of it due to the fact that my bestest friends came down from Moncton to have some quality girls time...... But, I spent every other moment I could online and working away... I'm a slow scrapper..... always adding more detail so with time crunches and certain challenges that I'm not used to, it was an adventurous trip!!!!!! I absolutely loved it.... I feel as if I know all of these girls on the forum.... All regulars, we converse all of the time... And I've not met most of them.... Looking forward to seeing them at the Green Hill Lake Retreat in a month!!!! Yay!!!!!!.......
I thought I'd share some of our work with you..... Us four designers had a challenge to design and then we had to do each others and play many many games and then to do the Crop Circle Challenge etc etc... Well enough chit chat......here we go......... I hope you like......
My challenge was already posted one here....some beautiful layouts came out of that...Good job girls...... go to apileofscrap.ca, forum, gallery to see all the talent.......
Jerusha's challenge was to do a winter scene with beautiful winter paper...(Many of us used the same papers(great minds think alike)Thanks to APOS.......... ♥
Annik's challenge was to use 10 specific items on a page..... without thinking I merged Annik's and Jerusha's challenge into one....OOOOPSY!!!!!!!!....... But it sure is beautiful......
Cory Lynn's challenge was to choose a book and do a layout using the book, title, saying in it, photos from the book etc...... Great ideas!!!!!! Loved this one....
And the crop circle challenge was to use 1- Make a one word title (i.e. IMAGINE, MIRACLE, etc..)2- Include 9 circles - buttons and brads can count, punched circles, etc....3- Use 3 ribbons4- Use flock or glitter or stickles ( 4 u Jerusha ) or dimensional pearls or glossy accents or felt to add a 3D effect5- Use your own handwriting
Tell me how fun that was.....
Then we had a 2 hour crop last night which we had to use only Brown, turquoise and pink in a layout..... I was a tad late but did get it done...... Enjoy......
This is me at 10pm on Sunday night after running around for the scavenger hunt.... A little bruised but giggling the whole time..No pain No gain!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr............
