Scrappin' Moms Idol 3: ELIMINATION Round



The much awaited scrapping event here in the Philippines is back!
It is a 2-month long challenge organized by the Scrappin’ Moms. The main objective is to display the creativity and artistry of the Filipino scrapbooker. This is a chance for us Filipinos to showcase the degree of talent that is very abundant here and comparable to our international counterparts. The finals will be an On-the-Spot challenge with the Top 10 Finalist on August 29, 2009.

This is actually my first time to join this friendly competition since I only started scrapping around October last year and this event usually takes pla
ce on the month of August. To be honest, I decided not to join this year because I am still new to this and I am quite intimidated with all experienced scrappers we have here, but with a lot of encouragement from my friends, I decided to try out and made a layout the day before the deadline.

This year’s theme is about going back to basics, back to the true meaning of a scrapbooker – preserving your family’s memories in pages that transcends time and trends. And for the Elimination Round, the challenge was to create a layout using this ad as our inspiration


And here is my take:
Title: Pure You

Journaling: "Baby, you are who you are innocent and sweet sent by God like an angel to give us hope, love, and unity."

Design Notes: For this particular layout, I was inspired by the color combination of the ad so I decided to use Black, Red, Orange and Yellow on my layout. I admit that this is something new to me since I am used to creating very detailed projects with tons of cutouts and distressing but since the theme of this year's Scrappin Moms Idol is BACK TO BASICS, I tried to make a simpler layout and concentrate more on the photos. I have adopted the circles on the layouts as well as almost all the patterns you can see on it.

Materials Used: Black Coor'dinations Cardstock, Prima-Signs of Spring pp, BasicGrey Dasher pp, Creative Imaginations DieCut pp, Pink Paislee Fashion Script Sticker Alphas, Kaiser Pearl Stickons, Dew drops, Buttons, TimHoltz Distress Ink (Walnut Stain), felt cloth, My2Angel's Black Scroll Felt Frame

Feel free to view all the entries here.

So do you think I have what it take to be the next Scrappin'n Moms Idol? Hmmmm, I do hope so.

I'll keep you posted! Wish me luck!
