New Challenge & My Submission for Week 1

www.Scrap-tastic.com is currently holding an "American Idol" Scrapbooking challenge. It all started with their request for submissions of an already made layout that was a favorite of yours. From all the submissions, they then picked the AI Top 20. It was a spur of the moment submission for me but I actually made it into the top 20. Each week they post a challenge with a different technique to complete by deadline. The first 2 weeks, only one person was voted off, then it changed and currently 2 people are voted off each week. Talk about intense!!!

Week 1: Dig Deep - Choose a song & create a LO using that song in mind. Dig deep & personify the song in your LO. Every detail of your LO should personify that song from the pictures to the colors to the embellishments & design. The technique to use is that you MUST use 10 different patterned papers in your layout and you are NOT allowed to use cardstock (ouch)! I decided to do mine on the song "I Just Want You" by Ozzy Osbourne because for the 1st year that hubby and I were dating, he lived in Connecticut and I lived in Virginia. Travel to see each other was almost impossible so we only got to spend a small amount of time together. He actually played me this song one day and right away it stuck. When we would get fretted about the distance, we'd just play this song and imagine the day when we would finally be together all the time!
