Twisted Originals Challenge Blog was created by a scrapper who loves to
think outside of the box! I have served on numerous message boards
and always chose to be the moderator of the challenges forum. The idea came
to me to create a blog that would feature challenges as well as provide
an opportunity for scrappers to be published. The challenges are not
intended to be difficult not impossible, just thought provoking. Scrappers
are encouraged to use the challenges to fit their own personal style.
Challenges are posted every Monday and scrappers submit their layouts to
twistedpaper@gmail.com. Selected entries are listed on the blog and entered
into the final round for publication into the Scrapstreet.com ezine!
The Twisted Crew provides weekly inspiration to our scrappers by posting
their takes on the challenges. Be sure to check us out weekly. You never
know when you might want to scrap twisted!

Journaling:
Who knew when we bought this Little
Tikes push-car for Ryan over five years ago,
what a great investment it would turn out to
be? We always take it with us to Ryan's
baseball games, and you not only love to
play on it, but you share it with the other
kids. Most of all, you share it with Sarah,
the very sweet little girl with whom you
have formed a close friendship this summer.
At this game in White Oak, there was a
conveniently-sloped area of asphalt just off
the parking lot, where you took turns giving
one another a get-going push and then were
able to roll down the hill with sheer
reckless abandon, where one of the bigger
kids was waiting to make sure you didn't get
hurt. It was so sweet watching the two of
you working together, sharing, and having
fun.
Design
notes: To achieve the text in the shape
of the curve: I manipulated my text in Microsoft Word, manually adding line breaks where needed near the top of the
journaling. I checked the spacing against a circle template that was the
same radius as the quarter-circle shape that I wanted at the top of the
text. After printing the text on the cardstock, and then used my EK Success
Curvy Cutter to cut the quarter-circle, and finished the straight edge with
my 12" trimmer.

Your mission: Scrap a LO using a title that rhymes with a specific color.
Hmm.. remember that box of Crayola crayons that we all had in school? How about
using one of those colors: chartreuse, periwinkle anyone? Or you can just stick to the basics: red, yellow, blue, green.. the choices are endless.
Editor’s
note: Rebecca's picture in her layout is so captivating and the title truly fits the little girl!

Design notes:
For this challenge I knew I wanted to use this picture and
the color blue. So I played around with the title until I got the rhyme just right.
I used naked chipboard and covered the blue letters with Daisy D's patterned paper
and sanded the edges. This layout was a lot of fun to put together.

Today’s culprit –- a venti non-fat decaf frapuccino from Starbucks. … Every time
you drink a smoothie, a milk shake or anything really cold, you get brain
freeze!!! It’s so bad you don’t even want to risk driving while drinking it! I’’
have never ever experienced that particular pain and I have no idea what it feels
like, so every single time you get it, my instinctual reaction is dude,
seriously???!!!
Design notes: I'd been wanting to document Ian's "brain freeze" moments
for some time now, and when decided to go to Starbucks for a couple of frapuccinos I
knew I had to take the camera with me... When I saw this challenge I knew what my
layout would be about because I had so many photos of this and this was the perfect
way of getting them all on one layout.
I decided to print several smaller photos and put them on the right hand side of the
paper and then print a bigger one of him looking regretfully at his empty cup... I
used masculine papers and embellishments and stitched the acetate letters. Another
important part of the layout was the subtitle: dude, seriously???!!! This is
explained in the journaling.
