Week Two
I'm enjoying the Digital's Next Top Scrapper contest. It is fun creating these pages, with more of an emphasis on quality scrapping than on showcasing kits. Believe me, I enjoy being on creative/design teams, but times like this I try to let my creativity take full rein. And it's amazing to see what everyone else comes up with, to see that range of talent within one gallery. Though I *do* wish we could know the voting results from week to week!
This week the challenge was to scrap a fave saying, and to use type to be creative. While Akela isn't a member of my family, he's a close friend, and this just called to me to scrap it. It may not be as "pretty" as some of the LOs that have been posted, but I'm proud of it.
Journalling reads:
"Cub camp is a tough-love experience. They’re expected to organize and pack their own gear. They’re expected to set up their own sleeping areas or tents. They’re expected to do their own dishes. And more.
These expectations aren’t always easy to meet. But as they grow and mature over the years, they do meet them, and we raise the bar again.
If they whine, or forget something or want coddling or catering to, they hear Akela’s favourite line ..."
The background pic is of my son, his first year at Cub camp, having had a total blast and wearing chicken wing sauce all over his face. It's slightly transparent, with a slate grey paper from Miss Mint's For My Father kit in the background. Staples are from the same kit.
I had fun with the alpha ... I wanted a # but not many alphas have it. So I used the "l" and created my own! It's Miss Mint's Duct Tape alpha, and just perfect for a LO about Scouting, lol!
