ADSR Season 3 Layout 2

The second stop was right here at The Digi Chick

Challenge: INTERSECTION

Racers start your engines 'cause we have a got a great challenge for you!

This week is a collaboration challenge. You need to work together to create a single layout. Each team member is responsible to create half of the page. Here is where your creativity comes in, you can split it up however you want: top and bottom, side to side, diagonal, L shaped, checkerboard whatever! Use your imagination and let's see your creativity shine through.

Deadline: Sunday March 2nd Midnight EST

Prize: This gorgeous kit created just for racers.

Our Take: Well the week kind of got away from us, we kept trying to make a start and getting distracted by other things. We ended up selecting one freebie kit we both have and working on certain parts of it each to make the final layout. It's a lot of fun to make a collaboration layout, but it's pretty difficult when you both work on different time zones. Luckily I am not normal and I work on my own time lol so when I should have been sleeping I was wide awake. We spent the majority of today working on this one up and honestly we are quite proud of the final layout.

Journalling reads:There was a time when we were “normal” we had jobs and other people respected us and then came the medical issues that slowly took all that was normal away and replaced it with a life of pain, tiredness and other people assuming that we were just lazy and not ill.While the pain was hard enough, the hardest part was having to deal with it all totally alone. When we found each other through a mutual love of scrapbooking. It was like finding a light at the end of the tunnel. Suddenly there was someone who understood completely because they were going through the exact same thing. Each of us understood how difficult it was to care for a young child with barely enough energy to get dressed each day. Each of us understood the feeling that we were letting our kids and our husbands down because we were ill. We were able to offer each other a listening ear and a cyber hug when it was needed. We were able to make each other laugh out loud and we sparked each other’s creativity. Having a kindred spirit allowed us to find the comfort that was so difficult to come by anywhere else, we found the affirmation in each other that we were doing the very best we were able to do. Our conversations boosted both of our spirits, we helped each other to have believe in ourselves again. The more we talked the more we realised that a problem shared is problem halved. It’s easier to cope when you don’t feel alone.
