1hr Layout

Good day!

I would like to share to you an experience that I had from Creative Scrapper's 1hr Layout Challenge this evening. They require us to finish a LO within the hour based on the sketch they will provide.

Here is the sketch by Kristine:

This was my first time to join their forum and their challenge. Actually it was so overwhelming for me because I am a slow scrapper and the challenge was to finish it within the hour, 9pm-10pm EST. So I prepared my basic supplies like adhesives, scissors, cutting mat, photographs, etc. I gathered pps and cardstock that were within the color pink and orange so that I can incorporate Lexie's Challenge over at RSS.

And when the go signal was given, I was in panic. My blood rushed to my head. I don't know exactly how to start and what to do. So I start tearing, cutting and distressing. Oh my, time was like a wind during these challenges, was fast. First I noticed it was 9:10pm but after glancing what I thought was 5mins, the time was already 9:45pm. So I was really working it.

Here is my take, hope its not too messy:

Materials Used:
White cardstock
Fuschia Bazzill cardstock
Kelly Panacci's Atomic Daisies PP
Scenic Route Providence Franklin St PP
Tim Holts' Ranger Distress Ink (tea dye & walnut stain)

I admit the experience was great but I am not sure if it was for me. I love scrapping but I want to take my time while doing it. Experience the moment, the feeling and the creativity but with the 1hr challenge, I just had the urge to finish it.

Overall, I love this LO. Even though I finished it within an hour, I was proud of myself for still incorporating my style, the colors that I want, and create a LO that I truly love.

Indeed the experience was mind-blowing. I would like to thank Kristine for the great sketch, the members who joined and Creative Scrappers for another successful event. But I might not make it if you move it to a 30mins challenge :P lol
