An Olympic Sized Challenge

Thank you to everyone who left a comment or sent an email with their thoughts on challenges. The majority voted for me to offer challenges every 2 weeks, but I also received a great idea to add some short ones into the mix, just for Fun! (And I’m all about Fun!)
So here is our 1st challenge, and You have 2 options.
1. In honor of Michael Phelps having won a career 11 Gold Medals (the most by any olympic athlete), create a scrapbook page that uses 11 different embellishments. Any 11 that you want, but they have to be different. You can use more than 11 if the inspiration takes you there. This is a huge challenge for me as I tend to use a minimal number of embellishments.
2. Create a paper craft (scrapbook page, card, etc.) that has 5 rings somewhere on it. The color of the rings doesn’t matter; the Olympic Emblem is just the inspiration.
On August 28th, I will draw a random winner to receive a prize pack.
To enter, upload your entry to the Fisk-a-Teer Gallery and post a link here. You can do either option or both. If you complete both, you will be entered into the random drawing twice.
The only rule is that this has to be a new project, created just for this Olympic Challenge.
Have Fun! I can’t wait to see what you create.

August 14th, 2008 at 12:00 pmthank you so much for including a non-scrapbook page option. I was just thinking about making something to commemorate the olympics this morning. Great inspiration.

August 14th, 2008 at 12:12 pmKelly Jo…are you reading my mind? I was just thinking that I would love to do an Olympic type page with pictures of my kids in the pool and playing in the yard. Thank you…now I have to take this out of the thinking stage and put it to paper, so to speak!!!!
