Challenge 9
found at OScraps
Hello, racers! Welcome to Oscraps! We're very excited to be the next stop on your journey.
Now, on to the challenge...
The first step of the challenge is to look at the color wheel. You and your partner must choose opposing colors on the wheel, so for example, if you pick blue, your partner must use orange. It should be the predominant color in the layout but it does not have to be the only color used. Please use THIS color wheel to make your selections. As long as you are using opposing colors, they do not have to be in the same band.
The second step is incorporate this quote in some way.
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” - Mary Lou Cook
You can use any part of this quote as your inspiration. For example, you could make a layout about growing. You could make a layout about breaking the rules, etc. You can use any part of the quotes or words from the quote. The quote itself does NOT have to appear on your page.
The third step is to include the following:
You MUST include paint. This item is mandatory.
Then, pick 7 more from this list:
swirls
glitter
black and white photo
2 alphas
something metal
stitching
patterned paper
funky font
journaling
Please note that an item does NOT count for more than one category. So, for example, if you were to use a glitter swirl, it would either count for swirls OR glitter, NOT for both. You MUST have different pieces for each of your seven mandatory items. Also, if you decide not to use a black and white photo, that's fine, you can still use color photo(s) or no photo. You can use anything else that you want on your layout as long as you meet the mandatory requirements.

Barbara's Challenge 7 LO
I was not looking forwad to this challenge because I don't like scrapping about myself, but I sucked it up and did it anyway. I'm happy with my list, but this is probably the most plain LO I have ever created. I just wasn't into scrapping about my bucket list (to be honest). I used Dot Dot Dash by Teri's Thing-O-My-Jigs.

Challenge 8 - Jodi
I was very excited about this challenge. I had a few ideas in my head of what I wanted to do but I always went back to this idea. I just can't wait till I have this baby. I have baby on the brain!
Journaling with title - Someday Soon... I will see your beautiful face, touch your tiny hands and feet, kiss your precious head, and hold you in my arms.

Challenge 8
Challenge 8 was found at Elemental Scraps
Special Note: This is a FAST FORWARD Challenge! The first team to complete this challenge will have the option of SKIPPING next week's challenge if they choose!
We've all said "someday...". Whether it's "someday, I'm going to get this filing cabinet cleared" or "someday, I'm going to find happiness" or anything in between. So, we want to see your "someday".
In order to allow as much creative license as possible, we have very few stipulations about what you need to use on your layout, but of course there are a few.
- Your layout must contain journaling. Whether you choose for it to be 1 line of journaling, or an entire page of journaling, is up to you.
- Somewhere in your journaling or title it must say "someday". If you want to make the title 'Someday', that's fine. If you would rather make your title something else completely and just mention 'someday' in the journaling, that works too. Even if you happen to have a 'someday' word art you want to use, that's fine as well! As long as we can see 'someday' on your page somewhere, it counts!
- We love elements here at Elemental Scraps, so of course we would love to see some on your page. At least 10 of them! But, use your creativity! If you want to use 10 pieces of ribbon and no other elements, that's fine! If you pick one button, 3 staples, 2 flowers, 3 ribbons and a frame, that works too. If in doubt, feel free to add more.
- I am currently obsessed with tone on tone papers. So, I'd like the background of your page to be a tone on tone patterned paper. If you don't have any tone on tone papers in your stash, you can use the one below. Otherwise, tone on tone paper you already have will work.

Challenge 7
Challenge 7 was found at Scrap Orchard and was a Bucket List!
Welcome to Scrap Orchard! We are so excited to be participating in ADSR again! Last year was fabulous and we can only expect pure awesomeness for this year too!
If you raced last year, you might remember our challenge was thought provoking and a little on the tough side. This year when we started planning our challenge, we decided we wanted to step it up a notch! We've come up with a fabulous challenge and we think you will absolutely *love* it!
Without further ado, Scrap Orchard ADSR 5 Challenge 7:
The Bucket List
Scrap 50 Things you would like to do in your lifetime. (While a Bucket List is typically a list of 100 things you would like to do in your lifetime, we've cut the number down to 50, given that you are all under a serious time constraint. However, if you would like to list more than 50 things, you may!)
When making your list, please keep your items realistic, things you could actually do, achieve and cross-off your list. For instance, we would all love to win the Lottery, but we have no real control over or means to ensure we are the winner, so it's not a feasible goal. Your items can be small, outrageous, bizarre, modest.. just make sure you have at least 50 of them!
Once you have scrapped your list (we hope you cherish and start working on your list once the challenge is over), please upload your layout to the ADSR 5 Gallery and post a link in your team's thread so you can receive credit for completing the challenge. Psssst.. we would love to have you upload your layouts to our Gallery too, so we can see all your awesomeness! To make it easier on the fabulous ADSR checkers, please include a numbered list in your layout description!

First Challenge of Season 5 has been posted!!
Welcome to Season 5 of the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race! We're excited to kick off the race at NDISB. To ease you back into the race, and to indoctrinate new racers, we've come up with a nice and easy challenge to get you started. Is that an oxymoron? Like jumbo shrimp? Easy challenge? In any case, we tried not to make it TOO challenging.
There are only three basic rules:
1) Your layout is about your partner. Introduce your partner to us. How you do this is entirely up to you. You can interview them, you can send them a questionnaire, you can use 5 words that best describe them, you can journal how you met for this race, or if you've been partners for years, you can make your page about a friendship that started with a crazy internet race and has since turned into so much more. The only rule is, the layout is about your partner and you need to tell us something about them.
2) You must include at least one photo of your partner. Large, small, color, b&w, of their face, back of their head, feet, whatever. But it must be a picture of your partner.
3) You must choose one layout from your partner's gallery and scraplift that as the page design for your layout. Only the placement of items is needed. You don't have to lift the colors, theme, etc. Just the overall placement of papers, elements, title and journaling.
Upload your completed layout to the ADSR5.1 Gallery and link us to your partner's layout in whatever gallery you found it. I know we have at least one team where a wife coerced, I mean encouraged, her husband to participate. In this case, there may not be an existing gallery. In this case, please have your partner choose a layout from anyone's gallery that he or she really likes, as your design inspiration.

Yippee - ADSR 5 is Here!!
Jodi and I are going to race again! I am looking forward to racing this year. I have been out of scrapping practice though. Since returning to work in the office several months ago I have lost my scrapping abilities or so it seems that way. I take forever to do just one layout!! The race pushes me to get great layouts done quickly. Follow Jodi and I on our adventure...
