Here is my blog post with more photos, about my creation for the challenge For the background, I used random scraps of paper. I glued them down, making layers of squares and strips and then with an old credit card I applied gesso to uniform the colours. With the side of the same credit card and green acrylics, I made some green lines here and there for contrast. I used acrylic paints and thick texture paste and I stamped randomly with a background stamp and archival ink. With a circles stencil and modelling paste I accented with a little bit more colour my background. The black lines are made with black enamel and I used a pitt pen for the journaling... Added a few embellishments and I was done! I hope you like it!

Hello everyone! What an interesting challenge, and I've enjoyed working on it. My blogpost where you can see more close up photos and explanations is here!I live in a very crowded city suburb, which means a lot of concrete! So here is a little 'view' of it, and my favourite spot!!! I have used craft cardstock as a base, and have printed my photos on canvas paper to give it a more grungy feel … I added 3 dimensional paste, washi tape, and distress paints to give it a grungy city feel! Finally some stamping, rubons, and doodling to give finishing touches!!! Then some added features of stickers, brads, diecut embellies ... I printed my title, subtitles, and journaling on transparency so I could add it exactly where I wanted to! Hope you like it!

It's such a beautiful place for going for a walk, anytime of year, for playing with your children and have fun in general! The sea view is really amazing! This is also what i wrote in my journaling!

And here's my very first double page layout: I had to make it quickly as I'm off on a business trip and plans have changed, so probably won't be back until Friday... I would have missed the deadlined! The photos are from my neighbourhood. I'm saying that I've always considered myself a city girl, have lived in the city centre all my life, but lately I want to move to the suburbs... With the photos I have tried to show a neighbourhood that is full of buildings, cats, cars but not enough parking space, so cards have to double park many times. I used plenty of my favourite wood veneers, flairs and puffy stickers. I used Vintage Photo distress marker to write my journaling and highlight some the elements to make them pop out more. And since my understanding was that I couldn't use splashes, which are my favourite, I couldn't resist to use a Paper Smooches splash stamp Hope you like it!

Hi there I live in a beautiful area of Athens...this green belt is round the corner of my home.....photos are a little dull as it was cold,cloudy and windy on Sunday when I took the pics.
My journaling reads" I am blessed to live in one of the nicest areas of Athens. Coming from South Africa open spaces were a must for our new family home.Our apartment is just around the corner from a huge green belt which runs down from the end bit of the Hymmetus Mountain Range.
I love trees so this place is so special yet each year in the summer my heart hurts because this mountain is always set alight. and burns.You can see the burnt bushes in my photos, the grass is green now but come June and it will dry to a golden colour."
"The antithesis of our neighbourhood. A sports car abandoned by some rich guy. and sheep from the shepards down the road, grazing on empty plots ( only a few left now) This is 2 houses down from us"
Check out my blog I am Zeffy and I Love 2 Scrap for more details. Here is my page...I used recycled carboard from boxes for my pages and I coloured them with Distress Paints and a sponge ...the borders I dripped with diluted acrylics and a wet paint brush.

Hi everyone! This is my take on the 1st challenge! I used the amazing 7 Dots 9th Wave Collection, which contains my favourite colours... There are some splatters on the white parts of the background paper that BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL PAPER, I didn't use any spray inks nor did I make splatters. The droplets are part of the design of the paper. Other than that, I did a lot of layering, gesso-ing and stamping in my layout. The journalling is approximately 60 words. As for the theme of it, I must say that I live in the city of Heraklion, in Greece. My city happens to be quite old, so there are a lot of historical monuments in it, withing walking distance from where people live. It's also built by the seashore, so I'm very lucky to have the chance to see the Aegean Sea and the history of my city within 1000 steps of my house. My page celebrates this beautiful, historical, sunny city!

This is my take for the first challenge, a double layout showing where I live! So I printed in 2 12x12 papers the small churches next to my house in Mykonos to create the background of my spread, then added my photos of things around my house like the sheep that walk around in the morning, my favorite poppie flowers and of course the blue sky of my island and the little churches that are literaly everywhere in my island! My journaling is on the top on one big row and under the photos, and yes it is over 50 words! You can find my post in my blog here too www.elinameows.com/first-challenge-for-the-scrap-tournament/ Thank you for looking :-)

Hi everyone! My layout tells the story of my husband and our two boys heading off for a sledging trip on one of the few snowy days we get. We live on the edge of a city but we have glorious open fields right behind our house which are so precious to us. The journaling reads: One snowy day an adventure began…three brave men set off for their goal with nothing but wellies and woolly hats to protect them from the elements. Their only supply a plastic sledge. They set off from Base Camp in good spirits and soon arrived at the end of our close and began their brave descent down Keens Lane. Turning onto the uncharted territory - The Passage of the Bridle Way – they knew there was no going back…The ascent from path to field had never before attempted by sledge, but with some sterling teamwork the men finally made it to the field behind our house. Yes! It had all been worth it! Their final destination was a glorious slope of shining white snow all to themselves. Get in your positions men…are you ready…steady…GO!!!To make the layout I used only a few supplies – some white and kraft Bazzill cardstock and some snowflakes I diecut using Sizzlits dies. I used a small circle punch to punch out the glittery circles from My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found papers. I lightly stuck the snowflakes and circles onto the base cardstock then used my sewing machine to make random curves over the top of them to give the impression of a swirling snowstorm. I added a little more detail by doodling with a Uniball Signo white pen. Thanks for looking! Charlotte x
