Week 1 – November 3 to November 9 - Lucky Dip
(You can download the information (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/Erica/LuckyDips/EricasLuckyDipsInfo.pdf) in PDF format this new monthly challenge)

My apologies to those that have found the initial information about this challenge difficult to understand, :confused::confused: I hope it will become clearer as you take part in each weekly challenge but I welcome your feedback and questions at any time. :yes::yes:

*************************************

This is NOT a bonus challenge week – in other words I’m not nominating a kit for you to use this week so you can use any DSP products.

This weeks random Lucky Dip theme is: ** Math Equation: 2 + 2 =4**

What this means is that we will create a layout using:


2 backgrounds
2 frames
4 pink flowers (to honor BCA - are you Passionately Pink?) :love2:


ONLY these items can be used but you can cut, crop, blend and re-colour all/any of the items to make new shapes or elements. Example – you can make a mat from one of the papers and re-colour it.

You can use ANY DSP kit/elements, freebies or from your current stash (must only be DSP products)

Upload your LO to Erica’s Lucky Dips Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=6498) or if it’s doing extra duty somewhere else I will need a link to your LO in this forum.

If anything is not clear please just ask any questions here :)
I'm looking forward to seeing your layouts for this weeks challenge and I hope you enjoy playing along.

I would love to hear of any theme/s you might like to try here, I'll place it in the Lucky Dip barrel and then have a poll and the most voted on will be the next months Lucky Dip weekly theme and you can also help run it or not, that's up to you.

Some really simple rules:


Please use only DSP products
NO - Ploppers and QC’s for this weeks challenge
Journaling or themed title would be nice but you don’t have to
Your LO can be ANY style, even a none traditional style, a style all your own, in fact, let your hair down and go creatively wild!
You can have any number of photos or none at all
Your LO can do double/triple duty as long as you put a link in this forum, especially if you intend to do all four challenges. How will I know to include you in the draw otherwise
Please comment generously on other member’s layouts in this challenge. I know I don’t really need to ask you that because you’re all so good at it anyway.


Have fun with this challenge... :love3:

Here is mine, doing double duty with featured designer, though I'm still have trouble finding one of the kits in the store.

I think I got the rules right!

I think I can follow this weeks rules too and helps that Sheryl has paved the way and figured it out.
Still struggling with the whole PINK flower thing though.

Erica! I haven't been around much over the past two years but I fell in love with "Chawton" when I saw it in the store today and it made me think of these photos and how wonderful it would look with them!

So, here is my layout for your WONDERFUL little challenge and I used Chawton!

I hope it was ok to make my own frame using this stamp set, but I wanted to double up with Featured designer as I don't have time to do lots of layouts

Well that was FUN! I used 2 backgrounds blended from Christmas Cheer and flowers from the Purple Petals Kit and the Shabby BOHO Girl AOP. I used two black frames from my very favorite frame kit - Frame Stamps.
All elements are made by Erica.

This is probably explained but my brain isn't working too well I guess.. :confused: My question is: do I have to post the weekly LO by the deadline each week or can I do all 4 LOs at the end of the month?

Erica

Hi Chellie - sorry about the confusion I'm getting a bit confused myself :confused: :D

Here is what I said in the main info:

"All 4 weekly challenges will be put up at the beginning of the month but the Bonus Challenges will be put up randomly during the month so it will pay to do each challenge weekly in their order if you want the bonus freebie and not all in one week. You can choose to do them in any order if you want but it would be a shame to miss out on the exclusive bonus wouldn’t it and one of my new kits for free?!"

You've spotted the mistake, I haven't put all 4 weeks up yet! Bad Erica :o

So yes you can do all the weekly challenges at the end of the month but you would miss out on the exclusive bonus' that way. For example, week 2 is an exclusive bonus week, so if you didn't do week 2 until the end of the month (say week 4), you'd miss out on the bonus but as long as you've done all 4 weekly challenges you'd be in the draw for the coupon. Hope that clears it up for you? Sing out if you have any more questions and I'll get weeks 3 and 4 posted soon. :doh:
