Scrap That Ad Challenge over at Scrapz Biz

Over the last 6 weeks I've joined in the fun over at Scrapz Biz  They have been having a great little challenge where we had to be inspired by a certain ad on TV - some going back to when I was growing up.  We had certain criteria to follow and we had to create a layout for each of the 6 weeks.  I had lots of fun as I haven't been doing a lot of creating of late.

Here are my layouts

Week 1  I still call Australia home

For this layout I have used all bits and pieces – old slides, Australian flag toothpicks turned into a banner, coloured matchsticks and other bits and pieces

Week 2  We're Happy Little Vegemites

For this layout I have used all things Vegemite – I ripped a label off a Vegemite jar and stuck that down I even used the yellow ring from the top of the jar.

Week 3  Not Happy Jan

For this layout we needed to use a page from a book – so I used an old children’s nursery rhyme book that I picked up at an op-shop – it was falling apart anyway so I didn’t feel bad about wrecking it. 

Week 4  Life Be In It

For this layout we needed to create something inspired by the Life Be In It ad so I went with some great photos of Josh on his unicycle and one of my new Li’l Daisies

Week 5  Dove

For this layout we needed to be inspired by the Dove ad – I went with the theme that beauty is all around us.  I did some serious recycling for this layout – I re-used the inside of window envelopes – I even stuck my photo behind the window face…LOL, old playing card, clothes labels, old stamps, bread tags etc.

Week 6  Tim Tam Genie Ad

And for the last ad we had to think of 3 wishes – I explained that my 3 wishes have already come true – first to find Sean and have the fairytale wedding, second to have 3 beautiful healthy children and then to buy our very first home – our family home where we are all living happily – happily ever after.   We are truly blessed

So there you have it – this was a very challenging and enjoyable challenge – certainly made me step out of my comfort zone.

Thanks for looking.
