Week 1: Scrap a Hero

[Toiny]

Hi all! I'm excited to see you here & ready to scrap. This is a simple contest with simple prizes, it is open to everyone. Studio Designers, Admin and CT may play along for fun.

This week your assignment is to: Scrap a Hero
In honor of Memorial Day, of course. You may scrap anyone who is your hero, but if you have someone who has served in the military, well, that would just be awesome.

You may use any kit, though Studio kits are appreciated, you may use any templates, fonts, LO styles you like! The only requirement is that they are up in our Week 1: Scrap a Herogallery & by the end of the day Thursday, June 2 (so midnight EST).

Layouts will be judged & voted on privately by the Studio Design & Admin team. Winners will be announced on the weekend. Each winner gets a fantastic Studio kit free to work with for next weeks assignment. The assignment will go up on Monday no later than 6:00 a.m. EST.

I can not wait to see everyone's LO's!

Big smooches,

Toiny

I imagine that the layouts we submit must be newly created ones for this contest but thought I'd check to be sure because I have created a military layout of my father in the past. If old layouts can not be used, then would it be okay to do a 'make-over' and submit that?

Thanks Toiny for this super assignment and contest!

Okay, because you know I can be a pain in the butt We can scrap any hero, right? Doesn't have to be military? I do have military of my Pa - but I sort of had another idea going in my brain....

[Toiny]

LOL and here I thought it was easy & already two questions.

Rose: You can submit an old layout if you'd like. There really are no rules except meet the theme. Next week will be tougher for everyone that makes it through. This is really just a try-out week.

Kim: Any hero is great. Though, honestly, I'd so love to see the military one of your Pa.

Big smooches,

T

You're probably going to get your wish - I can't find the pic I was thinking of Pa, here I come!

I scrapped this page for a friend. Her husband is in the army and the pictures are from his current deployment. Their son is 5 years old, and just didn't understand why daddy had to leave for almost a year. He also left a wife and infant daughter behind. He is due home in the next couple months from this deployment.

What a lovely thing to do for a friend! It's so hard on the kids (Dane kept yelling at me to go get Daddy from the airport, thought I'd left him there LOL). It's not a memory we look to scrap, yet it's a fantastic one to have in the years to come and for the generations to come. Great job!

Smooches,

T

Sorry I don't have anyone who was in the military.
My lil' twin grandbabies are my heroes.

Here's mine ... sorry, I got a little long-winded in the journaling. I had my husband blubbering like a baby this morning when I read it to him ...

[StacieMac]

I have one little question: The rules say "You may use any kit..." Does that mean we need to use just one, or may we combine a few?

Oh, absolutely, grab everything in your scrap arsenal you need! Just make sure to credit each kit/designer

[kimberkatt]

I forgot to say..... OMG! these layouts are exceptional!!

Here's my contribution,I loved this challenge and I knew the moment I read the theme who I would choose !!

Here is just one of my heroes:

[StacieMac]

I went off on a bit of a tangent while thinking about my heroes and ended up dedicating my page to the authors who inspire and encourage me, some of whom I love so much I named my daughters after them.

[momto7]

I made mine. The LO's so far are just beautiful.
Here is mine

Another chance to scrap my late husband. Love it!
