CHALLENGE #6 EXTENDED!

Hey Ladies, Just an FYI challenge #6 is being extended for an extra week! Last night Project Runway did't air a new show (challenge #7) not sure why, but that's good for us because if you haven't got your pic.'s in yet then this gives you time to still participate. See you on the runway.

CHALLENGE # 6: THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD!

This week on the show the 11 remaining designers had to create an outfit for 11 little girls aging from 5-9 yrs. old. They had 1 day to complete this challenge, but the next day Tim Gunn told them that the little girls would not be walking the runway till the next day, but that didn't mean the designers had an extra day to work on their outfits. OH NO! Rather, they must design a corresponding companion look for their “Models of the Runway” model. Although their children’s look is, indeed, the point of departure for this new look, the adult look is not intended to be a maxi version of the mini. The children’s look must be re-conceived for an adult.

So here is your challenge: Design a page/layout about a child & a complementing page of their mother, but wait that is not all............you are not doing your own layouts!

You must send pictures (old/current) of your children/nieces/nephews & pictures (old/current) of yourself to Lucinda. Lucinda & I will draw who gets whose pictures & someone else will design for you & you for them. Remember though it is a complementing page not an exact version of the child's page. This week you will be using from your own materials/stash but also you will find in your bag a sheet of stickers from THREE BUGS IN A RUG you must use at least 1 sticker for each layout.

PICTURES MUST BE SENT TO LUCINDA BY SUNDAY FEB. 21 AT MIDNIGHT (SO THAT WE CAN EMAIL PHOTOS MONDAY) & YOU WILL HAVE TILL TUESDAY MARCH, 2 TO COMPLETE YOUR TWO PAGES/LAYOUTS. Send them to lucindafish@cox.net.

P.S. Sorry this came out so late I was out of town for 2 days & my computer was giving me problems when I tried to post this. Thank you, Beth

SEE YOU ON THE RUNWAY!

AND THE WINNERS FOR CHALLENGE #3 ARE..........DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

Hi Ladies, I am so EXCITED to announce the winners for this challenge yes I said WINNERS! Christy couldn't make up her mind when choosing & picked 2 winners:
Henrietta & Ruth & that's not all, she is donating 2 prizes! She is soooooooooo generous.
Here are her comments about their layouts: this is way too hard LOL
i can't choose just one.. can I choose two? I love Ruth's and Henrietta's.. love them both.. love how they creatively used the paper to create flowers and I am ALL about layering, so I loved how they layered different paper, elements, etc..

Congrats to you both I will be getting with you to give you your prizes. Don't forget I will want to take your photo!

CHALLENGE: #5 IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM!

This week the 12 remaing designers had to design an outfit to be worn by a celebrity on the cover of Marie Claire! And that's not all — the celebrity is none other than Heidi Klum!

So the challenge for you this week & I must admit I had a hard time coming up with this one: Design a layout (double or single) that is ALL ABOUT HIM! Your insperation can be your husband/father/grandpa. Who is he, what does he mean to you & your family? Tell us & tell him we would LOVE to know & so would he! This is using your own stash of materials again & feel free to use anything from our past challenges. You may use old or current photo's.

This challenge is due by Thursday Feb., 18 at midnight.
See you on the runway.

Challenge 4 deadline extended!

Hi everyone,

Lucinda's hubby is treating her family to a last minute weekend in the snow, so we're extending the deadline for challenge 4 (since she's the one who does the slideshows/voting stuff and won't have internet up in the mountains) to Saturday night. Her email address is lucindafish@cox.net. You should see your entries on the blog sometime Sunday when Lucinda gets home.

Thanks!

Another grunge board example!

We all know we get busy, things happen, sometimes we don't finish things in time! At least that's how I am (hopefully some of you are the same way too?). Anyhew, Beth didn't finish her grunge board project in time for the contest, but I thought you'd all like to see what she did with it anyways.

If any of you ever want to share something you made on the blog, let one of us know! Especially if it was for one of the challenges and due to unforseen circumstances didn't get finished in time. We always love to see new ideas!

Beth, thanks for sharing!
Lucinda :)
