Traditional Paper Layout Challenge #1

[disneynut14]

Hi All,

There are a lot of challenges going on out there these days and I thought it would be fun to have one just for paper scrappers.

These challenges will allow for a longer time to complete your work and the winner (selected by a random drawing) will win a prize. The host is responsible for supplying the prize and mailing it off to the winner.

For the first challenge I want you all to bust our your EYELETS!!! I heard those groans. I happen to like the eyelet and think they have been given the shaft lately. So get out your crop-o-diles and start scrapping.

The deadline for this challenge is May 17th. You can scrap on any topic you like. Just be sure to include at least 4 eyelets on the page.

Good luck!!!

Cool. This sounds fun.

Good idea! I'm in. I have so many eyelets I hardly ever use - this will be a great motivator.

 

[bearbear]

I may have to break out the eyelets for this one. I'm off to target today and then I will be scrapping.

 

[morgansmom2000]

I can do this one!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I'm in!!! I need an excuse to use eyelets. I always grab brads!

 

[vanyel]

I don't eyelets or a crop-a-dile so I guess I'm out

 

[disneydarling07]

but I have sooo many eyelets and this will motivate me to use them....I hope.

 

[Arizona Rita]

I think this is a great idea but I dont eyelet or care to but I am looking forward to the next challenge!

 

[calanniebu]

oooh ... I don't even know where my eyelets are. Finding them is going to be part of the challenge

 

[ColleenG]

I don't do eyelets either, don't have a crop-o-dile. But thanks Denise for starting a challenge for just paper scrappers! I love checking out what everyone creates. I'll stay tuned for the next challenge.

Isn't that funny. When I first started scrapping, I thought eyelets and brads were like a requirement. I bought the MM quickset to make holes & set them. Then I graduated to the crop-a-dile. I still use brads more than eyelets because I'm not comfortable just leaving them alone. Eyelets have a hole in them. You have to put something in it, right?

Exactly.. that is why I'm waiting to see if something hits me to do this challenge.. w/ the ton of photos/papers/eyelets something will inspire me!

 

[disneynut14]

For those of you who don't have eyelets, you can use brads.

I will post some layouts later today with brads and eyelets.

Have fun with this one!!!

If we can use brads I am in. I looked at the crop a dile, but never bought it...I just use the point of a kid's corn on the cob holder and a big wodden spoon to make the holes. Wow...that really made me sound like a redneck.

I used a fat tac to make the entry holes.. I only bought the crop-a-dile when we did the paper bag swap and all the holes needed to be in the same place on all pages and it was easier to fold and punch...

 

[ColleenG]

Oooh! If we can use brads then I'm in. I have those in my stash!! Now to get to work tonight. Kids, it's bedtime! Mommy has some scrappin' to do!

 

[Arizona Rita]

First, Rednecks rule (in AZ we're Desert Rats) we have our carburators hanging by the ham being cured too! (Thanks Jeff!)

All we have to do is use 4 brads on a page and we post it? No theme or anything? Just want to make sure Im reading this right. I cant do a swap without a brad somewhere!

 

[disneynut14]

If you have eyelets you should use them, other wise for those who don't, brads are ok. No theme. You can do what ever you like.

Good luck!

 

[PamCo88]

I'm in on this one too. I just have to remember how to use the eyelet punch I have...
