Final 2 Olympiad events!

Here are my final 2 layouts for the Scrabiz.biz Olympiad- and I am pleased that I was able to complete all of the events within the original time frame, with out needing the extension that has now been offered. 

This first one is the "Closing Ceremony" layout, which used a sketch, plus the extra criteria of flags, stickers, something round and the word "Celebrate" or "Celebration".

I used the MME "Stella Rose" collection, and some stickers from Echo Park "For the record".

I scrapped this photo from the CFA Dinner Dance in June, when Steven received his 25 year long service award!

The other event I had left to complete was the Cycling!

For this one you had to use the sketch as well as wheels, chain and the word ride.

I scrapped a photo from when Tom's scout group ran a ride-a-thon at Calder Park Raceway to raise funds for their trip to the Jamboree in Sydney.

These MME papers were prefect with the bicycles all over them!

I ran my Maya Road chipboard gears through the cuttlebug in a Tim Holtz embossing folder.

"Breathe in........ Breathe out"

This is another of my entries for the Scrapbiz Olympiad.  It was the swimming event and you had to follow a sketch, as well as use a butterfly, have the word "breathe" on your layout and some freestyle elements.

I have journalling around the photo that highlights that on days when it all seems too hard you just have to keep going....breathe in..... breathe out..... and repeat!

"Why so Serious?" and "Perfect Balance"

Just home from a great weekend at the ScraphappyKat 2012 retreat in Nagambie.  A big hello to all my new friends who asked for my blog address-  great to meet you all! Leave me a comment and let me know you found it!

Here's one of the layouts I completed on Friday night-  using the sketch from the "Weightlifting" challenge at the Scrapbiz.Olympiad.  We had to use a sketch, and also include the following criteria-  Numbers, something heavy, and the word "weight".

These metal dog tags with the chevrons were a great match for the chevron's on Steve's uniform, and the numbers are on the kaisercraft paper.

I used the word "weight" in my journalling, and I have used a quote from scripture as well....

"Give your worries to the Lord, and he will take care of you. "

Psalm 55:22  New Century Version (NCV)

I've also managed to complete the "Gymnastics" challenge too, and I was lucky to have some perfect photos for this layout- thanks to Meg's gymnastics efforts!

For this one we needed to use the sketch, as well as ribbon. photos on a mat, bling, strip journalling and the word "Balance"

"Uluru Walk"

The next Scrapbiz Olympiad event is the triple jump!

 

The layout needed to follow a sketch and also have 3 photos, a ruler/tape measure and the word "Hop", "Step" or "Jump".

I found a verse of scripture that was perfect for my photos AND it met the criteria for the challenge!

"In their hearts humans plan their course,

    but the Lord establishes their steps."

Proverbs 16:9

Ready Aim Fire

Here's my second layout for the Scrapz.bidz Olympiad!

Clearly it was an archery theme.  You didn't have to scrap archery photos, but I figured since I had them.... why not?!

You also had to include a bullseye design, arrows and the word "aim".

Blessings,

"Start your engines"

I've challenged myself to take part in the Scrapz.Biz Olympiad, which is a series of sketch challenges with additional components!  I love the Olympics so it seemed like the perfect competition for me!!

The "Opening Ceremony" challenge had the extra requirements of a banner or confetti, something that opens and the word START or BEGIN.

I scrapped the photos of the kids on the start line following last year's Bathurst race!  I created a flap that opens to reveal 2 more photos and a quote.  And being Sunday, my quote is a piece of Scripture....

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us”    

Hebrews 12:1

Stay tuned for my upload of the next challenge... Archery!
