The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing
and renewing is nowhere so exemplified
as in real life itself. "
Berenice Abbott

INTRODUCING THE BOOK OF LIFE....

We invite you to join the new Shop and Crop Challenge.
Each month at S&C we, the "Reality Scrapping Team" will be announcing themes about real life challenges for you to scrap. We will focus our scrapping on small "bites" from our real lives.

WHEN: Competition starts today, April 17, and runs for a 6 month period until the end of September.

WHERE: Register your interest in this thread.

THE CHALLENGE: As a participant, you'll create TWO layouts EACH MONTH for the comp and upload these to the Shop and Crop BOL gallery.
Each month there will be a list of three alternative themes set by the Shop and Crop Design Team members, from which you'll choose two. (Check the BOL thread in this forum for the April themes).
At the end of the sixth month period you will have a completed album of 12 layouts. (You can do more layouts if you wish).
The format for the challenge is 9x9" You don't have to scrap in this size to participate, but to be eligible for the prizes you do.
Check out the Shop and Crop store for your Heidi Swapp 9x9 album (you can use any colour, but keep in mind that you will need to fully decorate your album cover).

PRIZES: While our aim of this challenge is purely to encourage you to scrap about REAL LIFE, we are offering further incentive in the way of prizes.

From the completed layouts each month, we will all be able to vote for our favourite layout, through the S&C voting facility. The winner will receive a prize pack of scrapping supplies worth $20.

At the end of the 6 months we will award a $20 Shop and Crop store voucher to everyone who has completed all 12 layouts, as per the challenge guidelines.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Royce has been riding a motorbike ever since he could walk and has had several seasons racing - he is fantacal about getting air (which is pretty scary). Anyhow David surprised him on the weekend and told him some of David's mates were coming out to build him a track - here are the results.

I went along with my brother and his girlfriend, my dad and some family friends.

We had Mambo running in race 3 he jumped through the barriers before the race started which was a bummer but he ran 4th and will run again  nect week!

After the last race in Sydney the band started up in the members are were we where and they were great all 80's could have stayed all night.

After a few too many drinks my dad came to remove us from the races how funny 32 and my dad is still dragging me home lol.

We headed out to the buses and our luck we jumped on a bus and it got 100m up the rodw and broke down the poor guy a bus full of drunks and nowhere to go - we ended up jumping of onto a nother bus and headed back to the Coronation and a great tea and a really great night.
