It's a busy weekend...

and it's cold and wet so I'm scrapping away!
Which really is just as well, as I've got a lot to do! lol...

First on the to-do list this weekend was the challenges for the Chook Scraps Cybercrop...
And this month the feature artist is the yummy Johnny Depp... now there's a teen idol that's aged well!

So the challenges are all based on a couple of his movies...
The first being Pirates of the Caribbean. We've spent the last month trying to guess the criteria and beside 1 we never even came close!
So with the criteria being "Walking the Plank" we had to have a piece of rectangular paper placed horizontally, fabric for sails (I used felt!), Pearls for the Black Pearl (we guessed that one!) and the final criteria was Tattoo's or rubons...

So I went bright... bright... bright!



The second challenge was Charlie & the Chocolate Factory...

And the criteria was... A photo that features something more than 60 years old or a photo over 5 years old; A conjunction in our title; and for the chocolate... two tones of brown and white and finally we had a list we could choose a criteria from that represented the children... so I chose small lettering in the title for Mike.



Trust me... the photo is definately OVER 5 years old! lol

The third challenge is a blind scrapping challenge so I can't upload that until Wednesday at the earliest.

Not sure if I will get to the card challenge... I have so much to do.


I've also managed to get the Chooks Amazing Chooks Race layout done today as well.
This round we're heading off to Ireland, so the criteria has come from the name of the island Eire...
E - Envelope
I - Inking
R - Rhyming in the title
E - Embossing.

So after some false starts here is my layout...



and a detail shot...

Now it's time to go stir the soup for dinner and then go play with some Kaisercraft!

And next weekend all the fun starts....
