January 2011 Clutter It Challenge

[DarleneH]

Happy New Year! Ready for a brand new year AND a brand new challenge?

Take a look at this month's starter page:



You may do whatever you like to this basic page, but you must alter it somehow - add a few elements to it, flip it, rotate it, recolor it or do whatever you want. You decide what elements to add to transform my basic template into YOUR own page.

Rules:

1. You can use digital items from any designer... no restrictions! Make sure you credit appropriately in the gallery. If you're new to posting in online galleries, the credit line should say something like, "Kit used is Aquarium Friends by PiggyScraps".

2. When you're finished, add it to the Clutter It Challenge gallery. Then come back to this forum to post a link to the gallery, so we can all ooh-and-aah over what you've made! This thread is where I will check to award bonus points, so make sure you come back here to post!

Download this basic page HERE.

The Digital Scrapbooking Studio offers a point system as your "reward" for participating. This will allow you to save money in the store.

• Each challenge offers each participant 10 points for the first LO (in EACH challenge), then 5 points for each additional LO in the same challenge
• If a participant completes all challenges in one month, she earns a 100 point BONUS
• 100 points = $5 to the store.
• Points may be redeemed at any time.
Can't wait to check out your creations!

Happy scrapping ~
Darlene

Darlene H,
Here is my LO for the Jan. Clutter It Challeng. I have been trying to learn lessons for the PSE 5 program which takes hours to do, so now I "hit 2 birds with one stone". I do my challenges while I am learning?writing down my lessons. I hope you all like the LO, I'm not sure why it came out so small, but if you click on the picture it will be 12 by 12" there.
Hugs,
Marilyn Nay

Love it, Marilyn, and what a great idea to incorporate some lessons while completing the challenges. You get twice the bang for your buck and that's just plain smart.

Terrific! I like how you recolored the lace.

I love doing this challenge whenever I find the time. Thanks for a really great almost blank canvas to work with Darlene. My layout,



which uses an adorable kit, Vintage Baby from Deli Scraps by Min - and that beautiful window is part of the kit - is posted in the gallery here:

Here is my LO. My cat Radar loves to snuggle into his Binky when it is cold outside.

Sorry this took so long thiss month! It's usually one of the first challenegs I do, but this month has had a lot of non-scrapbooking challenges, so I am SO glad to be scrapbooking now!

I submit another cat page for this month! Daddy's Girls
