Challenge: Welcome to another stop on your race. We are lucky number 7 and I think we are really going to throw you a challenge.We love to do it numbers around here and so this stop on your challenge will be: "Number Cruncher". Each person will have to complete this challenge so we will need to see two layouts from each team. Each of you will have different instructions so please read carefully. You can pick which team position you want but pick cautiously because each team member scraps differently. Make sure you have FULL and complete credits on each of these layouts, detailed down to items, numbers used and designer.
Team Member #1 - ONE DESIGNER - MESSY - No Journaling!
Using the correct number of items as listed below, you must scrap using only ONE designers products. Pick your designer carefully and make sure they have all of the things listed on the list below, remember only ONE designer. (this does not include the use of drop shadow actions but does include the use of templates, mattes, shape files etc.) Once you choose your ONE designer you will be required to scrap in a Hodge Podge style, a little artsy and messy. No Journaling, ONLY TITLE WORK.
Use the following items: (Please remember this layout requires all pieces to be from the same designer)
1 - paper (only ONE paper, no other paper for mattes page borders, nothing)
2 - ribbons
3 - buttons
4 - glitter/gems/sequins or bling pieces
5 - frames
6 - pictures
7 - alphas (different but from the same designer unless created by you, we made an exception to this but alphas cannot be made of paper.)
8 - flowers/stars/cardboard pieces
9 - staples
10 - random elements of choice (all by the same designer, no more no less)
Team Member #2 - MULTI DESIGNER - CLEAN - Journaling "A letter"
Also using the correct number of items listed below, you must scrap using NO MORE than 2 items from the same deisgner. You will need to use many different designers for this layout. Again, no more than 2 items from the same deigner. You may use collab kits and mega kits as long as no more than two items come from any one designer in the kit. This layout needs to be done in a CLEAN style. Use of negative space is important however you will still need to use all of items listed below in the correct number assigned, so plan carefully. An alpha is considered one element, so you may use more than two of the same alpha pieces for any title work you may be doing. This layout has a theme attched so please read the journaling challenge slowly. The pictures MUST go with your layout and you MAY use stock photos or other pictures that clearly helps express the idea of the Layout.Please remember this is to be a clean minimal style layout but must also contain ALL of the items listed below, this includes the random elements of choice. You cannot choose to not use 5, you MUST use 5.
1 - photo matte
2 - staples
3 - pictures
4 - stitches
5 - random elements of choice
6 - flowers/stars/cardboard pieces
7 - papers (may be pieced) - your photo matte is NOT included in this count.
8 - buttons
9 - glitter/gems/sequins or bling pieces
10 -no less than 10 lines of journaling (may be more but no less)
Journaling: In this layout we are asking you to write a letter to your 16-17 year old self. As an adult now, give yourself advice on things you remember happening during this time or shortly after that would have been beneficial THEN. You may include information about your family and situations now to inspire hope. (You may also include pictures of now if that fits in with your journaling.) Picture cannot be the same image three times, must be three different pictures.
Deadline: Sunday March 23rd Midnight EST.
Prize: A kit created by the Elemental Scraps Team and a coupon book from the ES Designers.
My Take: I fully intended to complete both versions of the challenge so Amy could pick the one that she wanted to do and wouldn't feel pressured to pick one, she wasn't comfortable with doing, It was kind of like picking the less of two evils though because both of the challenges had so many rules to follow, making them really really time consuming and difficult to complete. I like a challenge I really do but with being sick, easter and spending so long making the 1st one I kind of ran out of time. Amy hit the same snags that I did and she wasn't able to complete her layout and post it for the deadline. We took on the challenge of ADSR to scrap more, be inspired and have fun, it was never really about the grand prize for us. This challenge was a little too challenging to have fun with while feeling so ill. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I was just my normal kind of sick lol. I am going to carry on racing solo, just because I want to keep being challenged, I'm not sure if Amy is going to do the challenges for fun or not, but we will definately be waiting anxiously for season 4 to start so we can team up together again. don't mind my completed layout, but I will probably go back and make a few tweaks and substitutions so I like the layout a little more.

Journalling reads: Dear Crystal, I know as you are reading this you will be rolling your eyes and thinking I don’t know what I am talking about. I know that right now you feel like your heart is breaking because that idiot left you for her. I know that you miss him and you haven’t come to your senses yet and realised that the way he treated you was wrong. But trust me when I tell you that you will. One day soon you will open your eyes and realise you are better off without him. I’ll let you in on a secret, you will say something without thinking, and it will change your life forever because you truly do mean it. Once you say those 4 simple words you will start the ride of a lifetime, make sure you hold on tight to everyone you love and the ones who love you because it will be a bumpy ride!
Enabling: I have made the names in the credits clickable if they are still available, because I really don't fancy retyping it all lol.
