Game On!

Mystical Scrapbooks of Australia came up with the Game On Challenge on June 9, 2008. Through their weekly scrap requirements, I was able to finished 8 layouts, all inspired by different board games. Here are my layouts...

Challenge 1-Connect 4
The first round asked for 4 connecting circles, the circles must either overlap or intertwine with each other, scrap 4 photos and use of 2 colors only, one of which must be either blue or red. I used the photos of my boys during their little camp out and I used black for my first color and shades of blue for the second.

Challenge 2-Monopoly
The requirements for this round is to choose one of the following properties and use the coordinating techniques (Strand, is to incorporate stitching; Bow Street, use of ribbons; Regent Street, put a crown; Park Lane, put flowers or foliage; The Angel islington, put wings). The titles must include the word Chance or Go. And must use no more than 6 items on the page (as it is up to a 6 player game). I choose Strand and so I stitched in my layout (as usual, hehehe!). And my 6 items were pps, cardstock, DMC gold thread, buttons, chipboard for my titles and ink. Been wanting to scrap our underwater photos... finally its done!

Go Underwater
Challange 3-Pictionary
For this round we should follow a sketch. Doodling must be prominent and there must be a use one embellishment in the title, example for the word love you would put a heart embellishment. My doodling style is very limited and I can only do this much. Then I used a plastic embellishment with an engraved star in the center. I love these photos of my two boys, actually I scrapped these photos twice!

Challenge 4- Trivial Pursuit
It was getting harder I guess... week 4's challenge was to scrap using any of the pie colors pink, blue, yellow, brown, green and orange. The titles must be a question and must have a journalling of more that 3 sentences and must answer the question or the titles. Here was my take for that week's challenge...

Are you both sick?


Challenge 5-Scrabble
The requirement for this week was to use block letters for the titles and use 1 inch squares or cubes on the layout. Remember the scoring instructions written on the scrabble tiles? A triple letter score, pretained to the use of 3 colors only in the layout. While a double letter score required to put 2 photos only! I scrapped Enzo's school photos and gave this layout as a little something to Teacher Helga. I love the Prima paper and essential flower that I used here, matched perfectly to my black, olive green and white motiff.

Challenge 6-Checkers
The challenge for this week was to use the colors black, white or cream & red only! There must be a layered embellishment in the layout and must put a crown somewhere. That week, my nephew DK was born and I was soooo excited to start scrapping his first album. And so he will be my subject in the future...

Precious Little One

Challenge 7-Twisters
The requirement for this week was to use at least 4 different colors, put circles in the layout and must use the technique on layering. I love the colors that I choose blue, green, brown and white. Chatterbox stripes pps matched perfectly on masculine layouts. This is my cousin Jonjo, the proud first time dad..

Proud Dad

Challenge 8-Guess Who?
The final week's challenge was to scrap one portrait type of photo and the journaling must describe the personality or the physical traits of the chosen person. I choose to scrap Luigi this time. This is one rare moment that I caught him smiling. This picture was taken last summer during one of our escapades.

Live, Love, Laugh



I think this is our last week for the Game On Challenge, I wonder what will happen next week. I had fun and I finished 8 layouts... Thanks Sara and Mystical Scrapbooks!
