Becca Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's a new week! Are you ready to get scrapping? Today's challenge is to scrap a layout using a photo you've taken of yourself! Most digital cameras these days come with a timer that you can set for this purpose, so if you haven't used it yet, now's the time to learn. Or take a photo of you standing in front of a mirror, take a photo of your feet. It doesn't matter, but I want YOU to take a photo of YOU in some way and then scrap about it! When you're all set, upload your layout to this gallery --> General Message Board Challenges Gallery And then come back here and share the link to your layout! Happy scrapping!

podiumchick Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This is perfect. I took one of me and DD a couple of weeks ago and figured to use it in the scraplift of Jan last night, but ran out of time. Guess I'll try that today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandiC. Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 How timely. I did some self portraits last month during the photography class. The one of me in Saturday's NL was a self portrait and I'll see if I can do some sort of LO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmimmi Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 You don't want me to take a picture of my feet... really ... they haven't come out to play yet ... eeeww ... but I'll see what can I do ... I think people think I'm crazy when I use the timer to get a picture of me and my son ... but I will try to ... since I realised how few picture of me I have. Great challenge!

Vaughnde Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Great Challenge Becca! I think its time to update my self Portraits anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I just posted a lo which doesn't really qualify for this but at least someone was learning how to take photos... I just can't quite bring myself to using a self protrait. When I take one I don't mind I will scrap it, but until then this is the most I can come up with! http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.ph...i&img=77487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie - scrapaholic Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 If I can get out of my scrapping rut, I'll do one. I'm still stuck on last weeks challenge. Three LO's started and mental block on all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becca Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 If I can get out of my scrapping rut, I'll do one. I'm still stuck on last weeks challenge. Three LO's started and mental block on all of them. I totally understand, Julie. I've sketched, I've played, I've started countless LOs in the last month, and not a one has come together for me. That's one of the things I love about SG Challenges, though. They are posted almost daily, but there's never a time limit on the vast majority of them. You can file away the idea in your "List of LO Ideas for a Rainy Day", and build up a great resource for yourself when your mojo finds its way back.

SandiC. Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Its a rainy day, but I can't stay home to scrap and play. I haven't done much at all with scrapping this month. I'm in a little bit of a rut, but mostly just too dad gum busy to do a thing. I'll try to get this self portrait thing done though. It takes me way outside my comfort zone. I need to move into these uncharted waters from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnBK Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This is a REAL challenge....but I'm working on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmimmi Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've been working on it... not good at taking pictures of myself ... I really need to take that photography class... if you gals have any great tips to share to help with the photo taking let me know. I tried the timer ... but I don't have a tripod ... I might have to cheat and have someone else take a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to cheat and have someone else take a picture. I use the close up or portrait setting and hold the camera an arm's length away. Looking upwards, of course (no double chin action). You can set the camera on something stable (table), look through it, see where the center would be, then set the timer and put yourself in that center spot. Taking a pic in the mirror is fun, too!
