Craftastic Challenge #7(RAK): 9/16-10/15

Are you ready for challenges?

Here's the details:

Below you'll find 4 challenges.
2 LO Challenges, 1 Card Challenge and 1 Altered Item Challenge.
You are not being asked to do all challenges, though.

For each Challenge you submit to me your name will be
entered into a "raffle" for the monthly RAK.
So if you do one challenge you will be entered once, do 4
then you'll be entered 4 times.
This is just a way to Challenge you and give you the chance
to try new techniques.
If you have suggestions on RAKs or Challenges let me know
and I'll be more than happy to try to incorporate them.


Layout Sketch
For this one just follow the sketch and make it your own at the same time.
Sketch is from pagemaps.com.


Layout Shopping List
Use at least 3 of the following items in a LO.
~2+ Flowers
~New Print Covered Chipboard
~5+ Buttons
~Pattern Paper Background
~Bling/Glitter
~5+ Brads
~Lace
~Color Teal
~Ink
~Charm
~Bird
~2+ Photos
~Black & White Photos

(If you combine LO Challenges 1 & 2 your name will be entered an extra time, so instead of 2 chance to win the RAK it'll be 3.)

Card Sketch
Follow the sketch and make it your own at the same time.
Oh yay my first ever card sketch for you all!


Outta the Box
Alter a Jar/ Canister / Tin
You know you have an almost empty glass jar in the fridge!
Maybe a canister?
How about that empty Altoid tin at the bottom of your purse?
Decorate with stips of paper and
rub-on and anything else you can think of.
I recommend sealing you new piece of
art with mod podge or clear spray paint.
Here's a few examples:




Submitting your work is easy,
either post a comment here with the
link or email me a photo @ craftasticlife@hotmail.com.
Just make sure to put in the Subject Line "Craftastic Challenge #5"
and the Title(s) of your project(s).
Challenge ends October 15, 2009.

Now for goodies!!
This months RAK is an altered album kit.


*If we reach 10 Ladies participating a
2nd RAK will be given, so make sure to tell your girl friends.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with.
As usual I'll be playing along too and will hopefully manage
to complete all four projects.
Good Luck Ladies, and happy scrapping.
If you have questions send me a message.
