Only Seven Days Until CROPPED!!!


Gals,

It is just seven days until our fabulous "CROPPED" event happens. You do NOT want to miss this fun competition. What is CROPPED? Well imagine four experienced scrapbookers sitting at their respective seats with all their scrapbook supplies and four mystery packets in front of them. There will be four elements plus a layout that they MUST incorporate into their scrapbook pages. In 20 minutes they will be asked to design a 6"x6" page with an unknown picture and unknown papers, and embellishments. All four gals will have identical items in their mystery packets so the challenge will be to take the provided layout and supplies and make their pages stand out from each other.

We will have three experienced judges from the scrapbook world. Each one will add her "artist's eye" and pick the one scrapbooker who will be "CROPPED" from the competition. The three remaining gals will be moving on to the second round and the process will continue. In round two they will be making 8"x8" pages with new mystery elements and pictures. Again the gals will take the 30 minutes given for round two and create pages that are imaginative, use all the elements and the given layout and make a "stand out" page. The one whose page is the least effective in making her page her own will again be CROPPED.

Finally the last two gals have 30 minutes to make a 12"x12" page and the judges will then eliminate the one gal whose page is the least effective in using the elements provided. The last one standing will be given the title, "CROPPED CHAMPION" and will win some fabulous prizes.

All the gals who worked so hard will come away with ribbons, prizes and a really fun time. The rest of the onlookers will have the fun of being cheerleaders for the gals. We hope you will be a part of the fun and think about competing in our next CROPPED challenge.
