Challenge 1

Outwit Outcreate and Outscrap your friends in challenge one - provided with a sketch (see post below) you MUST create a 12x12 LO that reflects something about you and your personality with the only rule being you CANNOT use a photo of yourself or family (so you cannot be identified from your LO)

Now sketch's are great fun - whether you are stuck for inspiration or don't have a lot of time sketch can do half the work for you. They don't have to be exactly as you see it - in other words you may rotate the sketch, flip the sketch do a mirror image as long as the same design principles in the sketch stay the same.


Here is an example Mel has whipped up to demonstrate Challenge 1 - Mel has rotated the sketch here 90 degrees and kept basically the same design principles. It may be viewed in the shop as of Tuesday.




















Please remember if you have any queries at all don't hesitate to contact us either at the shop or even in here - simply click on the comment bit at the end of each post and we will get back to you asap :)

Happy scrapping everyone :)

Outwit, Outcreate & Outscrap

OUTWIT, OUTCREATE, OUTSCRAP!

It’s our brand NEW competition and we would love for you to be a part of it!

So what is it? A competition based on the completion of 8 scrapbooking challenges held over a period of 12 weeks. It’s a completely anonymous voting system – therefore we will not accept entries that contain photos of yourself or immediate family. This is to ensure that the competition remains fair and unbiased for all entrants.

How to do you participate? Come in store, pick up a registration form and return it to us with a 6 x 4 PORTRAIT orientation photo of yourself and your first completed challenge.

What’s the FIRST challenge? Complete a layout about your personality - based on a provided sketch (not using a photo of yourself or your family). Sketch courtesy of http://www.pagemaps.com/ is located just below :) Remember with sketches you are able to rotate them, flip them, do mirror images as long as it follows the design principles in the sketch.

Then what happens? Each challenge has a closing date after that non-entrants / customers will vote and a number of entrants will be eliminated each round.

Do I get a list of upcoming challenges? No – to keep it fair, each challenge will be released on a particular given date. You may elect to have the challenged emailed, or sent via SMS or you may pick it up in store.

What happens if I’m eliminated? You may continue to complete and enter the challenges into the OUTCAST gallery to be in the running for some great prizes and also the opportunity to be given a wildcard entry back into the competition.

Prizes? Absolutely – there will be $100 gift voucher to the winner who can Outwit, Outcreate and Outscrap all their competitors. Other prizes will be awarded along the way for ingenuity, interpretation and generally thinking outside the square.
