Join Valerie (valerietuff3) and Jody (jode2771) for a digital scrapbooking challenge with a twist. We have a random list of items commonly found on a scrapbook page, come join us in the chat, answer some silly questions and help choose what will be added to your layout. Will we get lucky?

You may use as many photos as you like.
You can use any colours.
Every Item must appear at least once, if you duplicate it must be the same item.
You may combine items, a brush that is a frame, then clip a paper to it.

The items picked in the chat, in no particular order, are:
a button
striped paper
stitching
a staple
a bracket
one seasonal item
ric rac
a butterfly
a flower
a brush
string
a paperclip
plain paper
floral paper
a bow
an alpha
a frame
a brad


Post your completed layouts to the 8th Anniversary Gallery 2012 All layouts posted before Noon eastern time (5pm in the UK) on Saturday 20^th will be entered into a prize draw, and a winner will be chosen at random.

We're safe Sherry, I know what's on the list. No embarrassing photos, or daft items, just silly questions. We'd love you there.

[Sara Arell]

If I'm awake at 6am (and usually I am) I will be there!

[elibar]

I'll try to be there too. I'm usually up then if I don't hit my snooze button too many times. Sounds fun!

[Kate Davis]

I tested out my chat functionality this evening and it worked. I'm on leave tomorrow so fingers crossed I'll remember to join in.

Thank you for putting the time in the UK, it really helps me as I just can't get my head around the international times at the moment.

[MariJ]

I'll be there! So, I'd better start sleeping right NOW! Zzzzzzzzzzzz

[jode2771]

Thanks for posting Valerie!

For all Aussies the times will be:

8.30 South Australian Time

9pm NSW, Victoria, ACT and Tasmania
6pm for WA
7.30 for Northern Territory


WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME AUSTRALIAN SCRAPPERS THERE - THIS TIME WORKS FOR US!!!! YAY!!!!

[SodScrap]

I'll be up at around...but won't have time to chat. We are leaving early for an appointment. Sad I'm going to miss the fun!! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!!

[ValerieT]

All your items are in the first post.

[Sara Arell]

Fun, fun chat, Valerie and Jody! The two of you are a great combination as hostesses! Thanks for the smiles and giggles this morning! We have quite an assortment of goodies with which to make a mess! (ooooh, did I say mess?) I meant masterpiece!

[Jenna]

Sorry I missed the chat, but that would be 5 am for me and I usually get up at 5:40 to get the kids ready for school. I wanted my extra 40 min! LOL

[LenaLotta]

I'm still giggling to myself after the fun chat. Thanks a lot Valerie and Jody for the hosting and thanks everyone that participated! Think this was the funniest luchbreak I've had!
When I come home it's time to get it all together.

Man I wanted to be at this chat. This sinus infection is turned into fever and a cough. So much for my 'flu shot 6 weeks ago! I'd like to still do the challenge, later, just for fun. Is that ok?

Poor you, Andrea, I hope you feel better soon. If you feel up to joining in, we'd love you to. You have until Noon eastern time tomorrow (20th) to post your layout to be in the prize draw, but don't push yourself or make yourself worse.

[Kate Davis]

Just done a search through my stash and 79 items named string have come up. Don't have to worry about improvising then

[Jenna]

Aww, I had hoped to play along with this one too but I am out of time today & tomorrow is booked solid. I will keep the list of things & make one later.

[A-M]

I did it !!!.. I was unsure I could have all that long list on things on a page and it not look cluttered.
My page is in the gallery Peardons at Picnic Point

I used one of the photos I had scanned from my mother's albums and one of my cousins in the photo wanted a copy so played around in photoshop to make it come up more clearer than it was.

[Cabin Fever]

6:00 am Eastern is 2:00 am in Alaska, so I didn't make the chat----but thanks for posting the supplies so that we sleepy heads can still play along!

[Sara Arell]

I completely forgot to put my crazy layout here in the thread! Lucky Dip Challenge

I've laughed at myself til I've cried!

[Jan M.]

Thanks for the fun chat and challenge. I really had a good time. And I'm pleased with how my layout turned out!! Here it is.

My Honey

[LenaLotta]

Thanks Jody and Valerie. I had so much fun!
Here is my Lucky dip

[Sherry Lynn]

Here is mine --- Beauty --- thank you for the great chat and challenge Jody & Valerie!

[Kate Davis]

Perhaps I made it difficult for myself using 5 pictures, but I wanted to do a layout that contributed to my 2012 book. It feels that I've tried every butterfly, string and floral paper in my collection to get a combination I liked; I've used items from 6 different collections plus 2 non Scrap Girls; phew no longer it took so long.

Here it is, random pictures of my daughter May 2012.

[ValerieT]

Sorry I'm late announcing the winner, but Ben's been ill.

I've made the random draw and the winner is..........
