Scrap-Tastic Idol Challenge 1


There is very fun contest going on at Scrap-Tastic. Its the American Idol contest. They narrowed it down to 48 contestans and I have to say that everyone is really talented and there are amazing LO's!! I made it to round one. The challenge this week was to pick a song and choose a lyric in the song as the title to the LO, we also had a to use at least 3 PP and then describe a technique we used.


I picked the song "Your Picture" by Gloria Estefan. Here is the description that I posted with my LO.. this is for challenge 1 in th AI contest. LO is of my grandmother and me, this pic was taken a few weeks before she passed away - she was the most wonderful person I have ever known so i picked a song by Glorida Estefan that remind me of this picture everytine I hear it, oddly enough the song is titled 'Your Picture' i choose the lyric ::Smiling back at me:: b/c thats what i feel everytime i see this pic. The technique i used was inkinh and dotting the letters in the title and then bordering the journaling with black ink to make it pop out more. the PP was 2 from K&Co and 1 from chatterbox, i also used CS, Heidi Swapp chipboard letters, flowers, buttons, word ribbon with family ties written on it. Journaling says "I SMILE =) This was the last picture taken of us. I look at this picture and rememeber and feel all the love we share. Thank you for all the love and beautiful memoreis given to me. You were an amazing gramdmother and the best gaurdian angel" The song 'Your Picture' by Glorida Estefan "Every star has a reason, a moment and reason to be" Thank You for looking =)


can't wait to see the results of this weeks challenge!! keeping my fingers crossed =)
