Sisterhood of Scrap is having a Sizzlin' Summertime Fun!!!!
SOS is making sure you get some scrappy time in as you dash around with the kiddos from here to there; plus all the yard work and t-ball or baseball games and of course spending time BBQing, swimming, camping out and making smores by the campfire.
Each week, beginning July 1st (yeah I know I'm a little late) there is a different 'theme' with five challenges. Each week consists of a layout sketch, card sketch, color challenge, bonus challenge and photo challenge. The challenges are posted each Friday in the morning and you have until the following Thursday at midnight to complete them for 'tickets'.
Carla, Helen and Susan have put a lot of thought behind these challenges and it has been loads of fun so far (as we are only on week 2).
My projects for week one - Fire in the Sky - somewhat appropriate with July 1st being Canada Day and July 4th Independence Day in the US. Anyways, onto the challenges and my projects!

Card Sketch
Just Because
This card was made from scraps and items from my stash.
The bonus challenge was to create ANY project using a neutral color for the majority, and then use a color in a couple of elements to create a BURST of color. I created a USA Card using some red cardstock; grungeboard letters and star and some Simple Stories Ribbon. I used blue glitter on the letters and white glitter on the star (not much on the star).
Lastly was the photo challenge to show off some unique ideas and photography. The five items were a picture of fireworks; the moon; something red, white and blue; a group gathered together and something sparkley. I won't bore you with the pictures of these. However I will tell you that I could not get a picture of the moon so I had to improvise with this......
