November Week 4 - Scrap Sisters Challenge

[lambeek]

Good Morning!! Here is the Scrap Sisters November Challenge for you.

Use an album cover as a sketch/inspiration for 10 pts
Use a film title as your title for 10 pts (in honour of the release this week in 1942 of Casablanca)
Use playing cards on your layout for 5 pts (this week in 1862 the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Underground was sent to 10-year-old Alice Liddell by Lewis Carroll)
Finally, use the colours black and red for 5 pts

Here are a couple of layouts that we put together for you....

Lis (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143391&cat=4894&ppuser=16732)
Louisa (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143395&cat=500) - album inspiration (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143396&cat=500).


Have fun!

[tcoker]

I think I have found the album cover I want to use..now to put the rest together!

[Mrs B.]

wow this IS a challenge. Not going to be able to concentrate at work today will be thinking what i can do for this...thanks for that :wacko:

[reward]

your like a machine, good job i bought them lovely red and black papers, have to google cds as i dont have any now there all on the comp and actual cds in storage lol

hmm will think while at work

[Voodoo Vixen]

I hope you come back and put a link to your page on this thread - it will help me keep track of your work!! Good Luck!!

Google "LP album covers" and you will find inspiration - in case you are too young to remember the big brother of the CD!!! ;) These things were works of art - Andy Warhol did a couple of Rolling Stones covers.

[tcoker]

:lol: guess that shows my age.....when I read the challange and read album covers my first thought was LP album covers and not cd covers...and if you click images before you hit search you will find tons of them!

[Ching]

I've been waiting for the new challenge, and omg....this one IS a challenge!! Funny, I've just started a new layout entitled "La Dolce Vita" for my Trevi Fountain pics. Now I just have to meet the other criteria. Thanks for a truly unique challenge.

I thought this was going to really stump me. I think it came out ok.
Thanks for the challenge.

[~Karen~]

Thanks for those brilliant links Ching :)

I had worked out the film and photo's in my head, but was stuck on an album cover for the lo - there are some fantastic album covers in those links which would make some great lo designs - so thanks again.

x Karen x

[Nostaw]

What a great challenge! I will try to have a go later in the week.

I now have 'The Hustle' in my head!

[Voodoo Vixen]

I thought this was going to really stump me. I think it came out ok.
Thanks for the challenge.

Well done Gemma! You should get extra points for being the first!

[TracieDoodle]

Saw an album cover a while back that I thought straightaway 'gotta use that in a LO!!' so this challenge is perfect to actually get me doing it! Just got to try and think about the other elements - but I think this is going to be fun!!! Great challenge!!

[ffims]

Ohhhh sadsac I just love your avatar my DD1 loved raggydolls I still have the video a bit ropey but it still works!!!!

Got the albumn cover been looking at it for ages just needed a kick up the behind!!!! not sure of the film title may have to forego those points

[tcoker]

here is my take on this weeks challange...this is my second LO...please read my photo description for the reason. :wub:

here >> http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143439&cat=503

[scrapnanny]

[Mary Buttons]

Done the weekly challenge (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143455&cat=503) here

[Voodoo Vixen]

Mary, love your take on the challenge.

[The Scraplab]

Thank you everyone for taking part in the challenge, now it wouldnt be called a challenge if it was easy!!! LOL
Its good to get the old grey matter going.

[Mary Buttons]

Annette I just love what you have put in your signature. really made me laugh

[Voodoo Vixen]

LOL Mary - you think I am joking? DS always says my Beanie collection is the first thing to go on eBay, closely followed by ornaments and scrap stuff - he might actually keep one or two as he secretly likes them... ;)

[scrap chap]

mmmm VERY GOOD DIS WEEK

[craftiemum]

Heres (/www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143478&cat=503)my lo thanks for challenge

[SharonMcD]

OK, I thought "Way too hard, can't do it." Then I thought some more. I tried a digi because I couldn't work out how to do it with paper. But then I never did digi before either! So I did it in Power Point and it's a little blurry. Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143481&nocache=1) it is if you fancy a look.

[lambeek]

Heres (/www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143478&cat=503)my lo thanks for challenge

For some weird reason I can't leave a comment on your layout so here it is...

"Love this digital effect on the letters - one of my favourites - thanks for taking part!"

Lis :wub:

[Mrs B.]

This one is really hard...BUT... I WON'T BE BEATEN!!!!! After thinking about it all day yesterday and almost having a sleepless night :huh: INSPIRATION HAS STRUCK. :wacko: Will begin working on it tonight.
Can I ask...Do you want us to upload a pic of the album cover as well or can we just include it in the photo of the LO...like next to it or something?

[Mrs B.]

Also...can't seem to get the link to craftiemum's to work :huh:

[Voodoo Vixen]

Also...can't seem to get the link to craftiemum's to work :huh:

No, its bad link - I just went to her gallery! :lol:

[lambeek]

Can I ask...Do you want us to upload a pic of the album cover as well or can we just include it in the photo of the LO...like next to it or something?

No - just tell us which album - I don't have a pic of mine in my example layout so I can hardly make you do it, can I :lol::lol:

The album cover is up to you - it would be nice to have a pic of it in your description if possible, but alternatively - just give the name of the one you used. Just thought it would be good if people didn't know it or later on when this thread is buried - people would be able to see what you used as inspiration? If you put the album cover into somewhere like Photobucket you can put the image into your description in the same way as extra pics go in. HTH

Oh dear - I'll have to go and a picture of my album now, won't I :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I'm obviously not as nice as Lis!! :lol::lol::lol:

[Voodoo Vixen]

I have to say, all the pages so far have been brilliant, so being a bit of a tough challenge hasn't slowed you lot down!!

[Debbieh]

Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143502&cat=503) is my entry.

[Mrs B.]

Ok...here's a thing....just how exactly so you add those little thumbnail pics to your descriptions? I don't have photobucket :rolleyes:

[Voodoo Vixen]

Mary Ann, it isn't mandatory, honest! If you want to add the pick to this thread it will be fine or just tell us which LP cover you used. :)

[cantstopstampin]

just uploaded mine here : http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143513&cat=500&ppuser=28449

Well done ladies

[Mrs B.]

I told you I wouldn't be beaten. Here is mine (complete with album!):
http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143538&nocache=1 :)

[Mrs B.]

Had a look at eveyone else's work and all I can say is WOW! and ...it is amazing how many really different albums are being used.

[Mary Buttons]

Mary that is superb have left you a comment, and you have made a perfect page here. Like you avatar btw good to see you.

[Sues]

Thought that this was going to be too difficult, but once I'd got the inspiration it was one of the quickest LO's I've ever completed(although I couldn't manage the playing card element!). Thanks for the challenge ladies,Hard Rain (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143587&nocache=1)

[Stacey ScrapRed]

My version is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143595&cat=503).
The original album cover picture is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143594&limit=recent) (I hope!)
Really enjoyed this challenge - not something I would normally have done. Thanks!

[Tillybud]

here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143608&cat=500) is my take

here (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/david_bowie/pin_ups/) is my album cover ( hopefully:lol: )

[Voodoo Vixen]

Love the pages you are doing - keep 'em coming!! :)

[Shirley June]

You said it was a Challenge and it certainly was.
I have cleared the decks ready for Shimelles’s Christmas Journal, so rather than bury myself under cardstock and paper I have tried my hand at a digital LO here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143610&cat=500&ppuser=1636) it is.
The album cover for the inspiration for the LO is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143611&cat=500&ppuser=1636).
Thanks for getting my brain into gear I had fun with your Challenge.

[tigerlady]

Here's my attempt (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143614&cat=2)- had a strange urge to try a digi lo

[knitkath]

Great challenge, really had me thinking! Afraid I have rather strayed from the simple cd cover pic! Playing cards very appropriate as surname is King! Lo is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143619&cat=2). Cd cover below

[scrapnanny]

Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143625&cat=500&ppuser=22248)is my attempt at this week's challenge. It certainly was a challenge but i enjoyed doing it alot. So thank you ladies.

It is a double LO and here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143626&limit=recent) is the second half

[MrsH]

Really enjoyed this challenge - my attempt is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143629&nocache=1).

Many thanks for choosing something so fun and so different!! As soon as you mentioned album, just knew this one would be perfect (Carter USM - 101 Damnations).

Hopefully the thumbnail of the cover will appear below!

[Voodoo Vixen]

Amazing - what lovely pages. I have always thought album covers would be an alternative to normal page maps and sketches - and you have proved me right!! Well done to you all.

[danyaz]

ok this was hard but here is a link to my take on this.
album cover was acdc, film is 1997 motorway film
http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143631&cat=500&ppuser=8754

[Voodoo Vixen]

Good one, Danyaz!!

[Cassia]

Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143683&page=0) is my take on the challenge! I couldn't manage to get the playing cards in though.

Here is a link to a web page with the original album cover:

http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://cdn.last.fm/coverart/300x300/2039953.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.last.fm/music/The%2BCorrs/Talk%2Bon%2BCorners&h=300&w=300&sz=89&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=_b9GSIGDK4oQ_M:&tbnh=116&tbnw=116&prev=

[HayHay Lilybet]

This is my version of the challenge (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143707&cat=503)- no playing cards though !

[The Scraplab]

Some fantastic LO's everyone, I'm really impressed with the range of ideas. Thank you everyone for having a go at our challenge, I know it is a toughie but theres some real inspiration being produced from it.

Well this weeks challenge was so much fun I had to (loosely) have another go here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143533&limit=recent)
Well done ladies

Two ! My I am impressed! :P

[~Karen~]

Well I must admit this challenge really got me looking through photo's, albums and films to come up with a LO :D

I can honestly say I never thought I would do a snow scene in red and black, so it just goes to show what these challenges make us think off :lol:

My attempt at this weeks challenge is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143713&cat=500&ppuser=29168) and a picture of the album cover used for inspiration is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143714&cat=500&ppuser=29168).

Thoroughly enjoyed doing the challenge, it was great fun and I never realisied there were so many different album covers - Many thanks :)

Claiming full 30 points for The Crafty Magpies!

[MiniOwner]

Here's (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143717&nocache=1) my efforts to meet your great challenge, Scrap Sisters. This was a tough one - well done!:wacko:

[geckogirl]

Hi, Thanks for setting a great challenge. It certainly took a lot of research finding a film title and album cover to fit in with playing cards - not to mention finding a suitable photo! Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143752&cat=503) is my layout.

[J0anne2403]

Hi, Thank you for the challenge, heres my lo:

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143759&nocache=1

[joanold]

What a challenge! Had to really get the brain cells working for this one, and had to make a special journey to take photo, but worth it in the end. Not my best LO, but I'm pretty pleased with the result. My entry is here. (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143782&cat=503)

Thanks for the challenge.

[scrapymin]

This was a brilliant challenge, didn't think I could do it but suddenly the ideas came flooding in well...just 2. Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143796&cat=500&ppuser=8554)is my take on the theme.
It was great fun to do, many thanks:lol:

[Smelly]

Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143804&nocache=1) is my attempt at this weeks challenge. Thanks for a thought provoking and challenging challenge, lol

[beaver]
