SUPER Encore! Sept 15th- 24th

[Nicole Young]

My first SUPER Encore! Challenge was such a success, I thought I would do it once a month. A SUPER Encore! Challenge means that you have a choice of a few kits and if you use ONE or more of those kits you get a DOUBLE posting bonus!!! Yep, 2 BONUSES for the price of one! That is SUPER!!!!

Posting bonuses:

Inspiration: Moments of Everyday Life...
In other words CANDIDS!!!! There are so many moments of everyday life that we forget to capture, but we will want to remember in the future when we are showing our scrapbook pages to our friends and family.
What hairstyle did you have through the years?
What did your kitchen look like in the house you grew up in?
What are the books that your children love to read?
What are your grandkids favorite thing to do when they come visit?
Where is your favorite restaurant?
Grab the camera (or look through all those photos that you already have uploaded to your computer!) and catch those moments of life that you don't want to forget!!!!

Challenge:
Use any of the following kits from the store:
Grid Iron Glory Page Kit (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6435)
Into the Forest Page Kit (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6437)
Timeless Memories page Kit (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6438)

and post a layout in the Encore! Encore! Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4918) and post a link in this thread! (If you post in another gallery, just be sure to post a link in thread in order to receive the posting bonuses! :D)

O.K., so this is the first challenge I have done so I hope I've done everything right. I used the Grid Iron Glory kit. It's adorable! I'm a beginner, so my page is pretty basic.

[PurdueLiz]

Ooooh, another fabulous challenge!!

[Talktopam]

Here is my layout using the Grid Iron Glory Page Kit. The kit is definately a favorite of mine. I love the classic colors and the old iron elements. I even used the football and staples to create the gold flower.

Ernie is #1 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=213879&cat=4918) uses Grid Iron Glory. If it's possible, I'll be wearing this greta kit out. I have two football albums to do for the neighbor boys who are two of Kaylor and Isabella's idols.

Loving the your stuff Nicole. Thanks!

PS I'll be needing a wrestling kit for next season. Maroon and white... hint hint hint please.

[GrandmaScrap]

What more wonderful "everyday life" is there than eating out with friends?

Iroquois Cafe (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=213897&cat=4918)

Thanks, Nicole, what a terrific challenge!

[reneeshannon]

Thanks for the bonuses Nicole! I love 'em!

[HeatherH]

Thanks for the bonuses. I'm sure I will use them both. Also, thanks for the positive feedback everyone. I was a paper scrapbooker for years but just made the jump to digital in August. So far, I love it! CC always welcome. I know I have much to learn.

[boobearsmama1]

yay this is a great challenge. :) We can post with either of the 3 kits, and get the 2 bonuses, right? Is the Gridiron one, an AOP? I love aop's. :)

[PurdueLiz]

Ok, here's one using Into the Forest. I love the rich colors in this. I can't wait to take some fall pictures so I can use it more!!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=213963&cat=4918

[Nicole Young]

Yep, you can post with any of the three kits and you will get both bonuses!!!
The Grid Iron Glory one is an add on for the kit in the store, but they are both really versatile, so I figured that they could go with lots of things!
These layouts are great you guys!!! Can't wait to see more!!!

[PurdueLiz]

Serial posting. So I just had an ah-ha moment (doesn't happen often anymore, the children have sucked all the brain cells out of my head :ron: ). I was browsing through your gallery Nicole. I kept thinking, I love these layouts, I feel like I've seen some of them before. I had NO IDEA you were busybeemommy. No wonder they seemed so familiar and I liked them so much. :rolleyes:

[Nicole Young]

LOL! Oh my children do the same thing to me and I don't even have as many (brain cells or children!! LOL) And thank you for the compliment! I am glad you like my layouts, that means a lot!

[beckag99]

Wow, I'm glad I found this thread:yahoo: ! Fabulous bonuses, I love the QC. Count me in.

[EmmaJean]

Great kit here Nicole! Thanks for this great challenge.

Here's my Grid Iron Glory LO: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=213980&cat=4918

PS I'll be needing a wrestling kit for next season. Maroon and white... hint hint hint please.


Me too!! Maroon and Black though. :) LOL!
It's hard to find kits appropriate for older boys and their sports. Your grid iron kit looks like it would work nicely for lots of things... how about an element pack with a basketball, a baseball, some track shoes, etc like the football charm?

[mommabyrd2003]

Okay how about white and black? You should have never done a grown-up sophisticated sports kit Nicole because we're not going to stop bugging you until all the sports and seasons are covered. It's just because you're so talented and we love you so.

[isshinryu_mom]

Okay how about white and black? You should have never done a grown-up sophisticated sports kit Nicole because we're not going to stop bugging you until all the sports and seasons are covered. It's just because you're so talented and we love you so.


hee-hee... I'm sorry, Christina... when I red your post above I couldn't help think of that joke "what's white and black and red all over???" I think I've had too much of my pain meds today! :yes:

And, yes, we do love you Nicole... your designs are fresh and fun!

[Nicole Young]

LOL!!! Oh boy! No, I love the ideas and maybe I can come up with an element pack for different sport for ya soon!!!! (Maybe part of the double bonuses for next month's SUPER Encore?!?! or a chat bonus?!?!) Let me see what I can come up with and I will let you know!!!
But I do have ALL the kits done for October...I added in a TON of the stuff that was suggested in the chat on the 10th....and added a couple of fun kits too!!! Let me know what you think!!! Check out my Coming Attractions Blog to see all 5!
http://nicoleyoungdesignsbuzz.blogspot.com/

[reneeshannon]

Holy cow Nicole!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the daydreamer kit! Why can't October get here sooner!!!

[EmmaJean]

Here are two more complimentary pages for my first one that I did with this kit! I just LOVE it!

[Nicole Young]

Bonuses sent to here!!! Off to work on that sports element pack!!! :D

[Nicole Young]

Let's see...baseball, basketball, wrestling, soccer....any other sports that you would like me to add in there??? I will try to do a couple of elements for each that will work with the kit already created in neutral colors and black and whites!!! Sound good????

[beckag99]

I'm in love with the Into the Forest kit! Wonderful deep colors! This is my LO: In the yard with Amelia & the dogs (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=214123&cat=4918)

[DixieMama]

I've sub'd to this forum and set my chat notification! Not sure if I'll be able to submit anything for this challenge period, but I'm definitely interested!

Your work is beautiful, Nicole, both your layouts AND your kits & creations. Can't wait to use some of them and hope that they turn out half as lovely as your gallery showcases!

[isshinryu_mom]

Ok.. my "layout" is a small diary page... hope that's okie-dokie... http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=214163&nocache=1

I am off now to see when your chat is, Nicole and try and get there! I bet it's a fun one.

Another sport I thought of ... golf. I think your football charm kind of reminded me of the "pins" that the kids get to put on their varsity jackets and that's why I am thinking of the different high school teams that would look good with the kit.

Love the new kits too... especially the Lil Pumpkin one!! Cute!

[fmly1st]

This was so much fun! I loved your kit, Nicole, and the inspiration to do a 'candid' LO was refreshing! Thanks!! :clap:

Mamo Bock-Bock (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=214136&cat=500&ppuser=66896)

[fmly1st]

Oh...by the way...since you are talking about sport ideas, I would love karate, soccer, & baseball...and some more karate! :D

[Nicole Young]

LOL! Adding karate to the list!!! And golf! I will see what I can come up with! :D

[Aramat72]

Okay, I used my first quick click!! Thanks for the freebie double bonus, Nicole. Here's the link to my layout using Squared Away...It's a copycat thing but I like it anyway...

Don't Blink (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=214194&cat=all&limit=last1)

[Nicole Young]

Oh that is awesome Aramat72!!!! THat reminds me, whenever you use a bonus I would LOVE to see it, so link it in the challenge if you want so I don't miss it!!!!! :D

[Victoria]

Here is the link to the LO I posted yesterday using the posting bonus quick click. I love it. I didn't know if you wanted us to link here nicole, but reading your post, I guess you do.

Thanks for the challenge Nicole, I've had fun with this.

[HeatherH]

Love the new October stuff! I guess I'll need to work some OT at work since I'll be spending a lot of money here.

[caraffle]

Ok Nicole, If you want an under represented sport, Go for Springboard or Platform Diving there isn't one kit for these. I have a hard time finding paper embellishments or digital elements. I could use some more swimming ones too. If you want any suggestions or ideas of what to make just ask.

Here are my two using Into The Forest:

[Nicole Young]

Posting bonuses sent to here!!! And I have the sports element pack done...be sure to check out the october newsletter, it is going to be the freebie in the newsletter and I also created the calendar plopper for October with my Sweet Autumn Page Kit that you will get for free!!! :)
The sports element pack is called Fanatical and it includes:
-one baseball element
-one basketball journaling element
-one karate black belt
-one soccer star frame
-one allstar stamp
-one golf scorecard
-one running shoes stamp
-one red and white pennant

Sorry that I didn't get all the sports that we talked about, I tried to make a few of the elements versatile enough to use for any sport and I will think about creating another sports related element pack or add-on in the month's to come!!! I hope that you enjoy it! I am really excited for you all to see it!!!!

Renee- thanks! I am so glad that you like it!!!

:) Hey everyone! One more day then a new challenge starts, so get those layouts done if you haven't already!!! I will send out the remaining posting bonuses once everyone has posted!
I am headed off to bed early tonight, I found out today that I have shingles! YUCK!!! I thought I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder and neck, but then it broke out, so I headed in to the doctor, so if you see me on here a little less, that is why!!!
We ARE having the chat tomorrow still (since technology hasn't advanced to the point that we can pass illnesses via internet :D) So be sure to come at 11pm Eastern tomorrow for the chat! We will be doing some CCs for 3 or 4 different layouts that were submitted and I will be taking suggestions for some upcoming kits and I have a great freebie to give away!!!! Don't miss it!!!

[fmly1st]

Oh, Nicole! I'm so sorry to hear that! :( Aren't shingles related to stress?!? :eek: You need to rest and relax for sure! Hope you are feeling better soon and we will see you at your chat if you feel up to it!! Thanks for your great work!!! :tup:

[reneeshannon]

I don't think shingles are stress related. I got them when I was 7. My doctor said it was in the same family as chicken pox.

I hope you get feeling better Nicole!!! And I can't wait until tonight's chat!

[Nicole Young]

I will definitely be ready for the chat tonight, shingles or not!!! LOL! I am so excited for it!!!! :)
