Dreamgirls

I can’t hear the words “dream girls” without instantly remembering the recent film based upon the story of The Supremes.  The part of the movie when Beyonce and the other ladies come out on stage singing, “We’re your dream girls,” pops into my head.  They are all glammed up, wearing their sparkly dresses while dancing in perfect synchronization.  You can just feel their presence.  Well, there is another group of Dreamgirls making noise in the scrapbooking world thanks to their fabulous challenge blog!  These ladies have a sense of style and presence all of their own!

Their mission seems simple, yet is far-reaching and important.  They post challenges that are meant to inspire and motivate each scrapbook artist to create.  What separates this group from others is the way that they go about this task.  The team over at Dreamgirls like to mix it up, posting challenges that involve different techniques, products and topics.  You never know what you are going to get when you click the mouse and head over to the site.  But you do know it will be something great. 

Recent challenges involved using an edgy advertisement as your inspiration.  During a different week, participants were encouraged to follow a recipe challenge by using clear acyrlic and the word “you.”  Their latest post dares you to use lyrics from the song, Time After Time by Cindy Lauper along with a clock.  Check out the dreamy layouts below for some awesome interpretations.

 

What being a part of this team means to you: Being a Dream Girl is awesome! Our challenges are always inspiring and fresh and cover techniques as well as prompts. I have been a Dream Girl since the blog started and I am very proud to be so. We have a forum too, which is great as we can all chat throughout the month and encourage one another.

Time After Time by SJ Dowsett. Digital Supplies: Paper, Black Ink from Irobot by Lilly Pad,  Vellum Label, Scallop Border from Kindergarten Crafts by Pepper Creatives, Clock, Scallop Paper Shape and Paint Effect by SJ Bowsett, Font: Hollow Font (Two Peas in a Bucket).

Journaling: Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you.

 

 

What being a part of this team means to you: I love the fact that it keeps me on my toes and often I have to "think outside the box".  I love pushing my creativity.  Then there are the girls, when are on a team you start to bond and make friends with the girls there.  These girls are great and very talented!

The 2nd Hand Unwinds by Susan Dupre.  Supplies: Paper: Sassasfrass, Letters: American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Transparency: Heidi Swapp, Other:  ribbon, floss.

Journaling: Sometimes you picture me. I'm walking too far ahead.  You're calling to me. I can't hear what you've said.  Then you say, go slow.  I fall behind. The second hand unwinds.

 

What being a part of this team means to you:  I have been a part of Dreamgirls since the beginning. I have loved watching it grow into what it is now. I adore being part of this amazingly talented team.

 

Time after Time by Amy Cutler.  Supplies:  Paper:  Hambly, My Mind’s Eye, Making Memories, Creative Imaginations, Clock:  Heidi Swapp, Other:  staples, timecard.

Journaling: If your lost you can look & you will find me time after time.
