30-Minute Thursday
Hello, Scrappy People!
I would love to show you my layout in all its gorgeous 8.5x11" glory, but my desktop computer (the one the scanner is hooked up to) is refusing to cooperate with the Internet. Ah, such is the plight of a techno-ratty (as opposed to the technoRATI).
And seeing as I am leaving for CKC-Mesa in something like 17 hours, I'm just going to keep on keeping on...
And that means I will just have to hand out some prizes (NOTE: These will not go out until I return early next week. Hopefully by then the ground will stop moving underneath me. Perhaps I have scurvy??).
Karen took her first 30-Minute Thurday challenge (hey K, I went to your link to see your LO but I couldn't reach it... did it move?).
Jessica C. did a page on Starbucks... how could I resist?
And our random winner is GinaJ! (Not that you are random... just that you LO was randomly chosen... Heaven forfend that I should insult my loyal blog readers!).
Now, for next week... hmmm... I am going to Arizona tomorrow (did I mention that? Like in 17 hours?). It is hot there, so let's do a page that includes:
-Orange and yellow (for the sun, duh)
-The letters "A" and "Z" somewhere (not necessarily together)
-Extra credit for anyone whose photo includes a table (MESA -- get it???)
That should keep you busy. ;)
edited to add: I just had a horrible thought. *I* have to do a page using the above requirements! Darn it! That's what I get for being evil.
Darn! I wish that I wasn't all packed up (my crafting stuff). I could do this one! :o)
Poo.
Have a good day and a good trip to AZ.

Great pages! Congrats to the winners. I couldn't seem to get my stuff together last week to do the challenge but I'm going to try this week. I may just have to do last weeks as a warm up. Way to make it tough Lain!

*rubbing hands together like a Disney villain* I LOVE the evil challenge! It made me think! (Plus, how many pictures of tables do I have laying around? It narrowed my options down, which was a GOOD thing!)
Here's this week's effort:

And thanks a MILLION for picking me for last week! I can't wait!

Have a great time in Mesa -- I would love to go to one of those someday! Here is my quick page -- I did it digitally, but you may think I am crazy but I usually do these pages twice -- once digitally and once traditional -- just do not have the photos handy to do traditional today. Could not think of how to squeeze in the table but believe I do have the right colors and A and Z. I will be anxious to see what others come up with!
Have fun on your trip!

Thanks Lain for your feedback. Makes sense.

Well, you get off easy for the challenge. Take a picture of yourself teaching at a table at CKC, title it CKC ARIZONA, and mount it on yellow and orange card. You're done!

OK, so here is my very first 30-minute challenge layout, Lain! I am quite excited.

Have fun in Mesa. I think my friend Tracy S is in your class, but I'm not quite sure. She's the one who needed the lead on the white marker. If you see her, say hi from me! Have a blast.

this is a tough one.

1. Orange and yellow -- ok so i sorta forgot about this one - there is yellow in my layout but you'll really have to stretch your definition of orange (which happens to be my happiest color btw) b/cs it kinda just isn't in here. 2. The letters "A" and "Z" somewhere - ok totally got this because my daughter's name is "Ally" so there's the A & I got lots of Zany shots of her together on a page so there's the Z. 3. Extra credit for anyone whose photo includes a table - bottom middle photo - Ally is under our breakfast table. (2 out of 3 ain't bad - isn't that how the song goes?) So I'm going to post on the Simple Gallery & on my blog http://kissandtellscrapbooking.typepad.com Thanks for the challenge!
That should keep you busy. ;)

Lain . . . thanks so much for the cool totally challenging challenge. I hardly ever use orange and yellow together on a page, but luckily I found this cool paper with both orange and yellow in it. I makes me think of how the sun would look and feel in Arizona. Not that I would know, as I've never been there . . . but just in my own imagination. ;)

I wasn't able to complete the extra credit, but here is my take on this week's challenge (my orange and yellow are my brads within my circles).

This was most definitely a challenge - but it was a fun one! Here is my layout: http://onlysleepn.wordpress.com/2008/04/21/30-minutes-baby/
Posted by: Lisa | April 21, 2008 at 04:57 PM
I completed this page last Thursday - this one came really easily to me; I love it when that happens! - but I am just getting a chance to comment here. There are shelves in the background, but not really a table.

I had the perfect pictures - there's even a table involved in the activity that my kids chose on a quiet morning during our Hawaiian vacation last year...
