JANUARY 1: Blind Scrap Challenge

Greetings Pad Scrappers, and welcome to Day 1 of MOC3!! I am so excited for our third year of the Month of Challenges here at the Lilypad! I am here with your first challenge – a Blind Scrap! I will post a set of instructions, and you will have to create your page based on those instructions only - I will not be posting my layout until MOC ends, so you will not see my page while you’re creating yours. Here goes:

1. Start with a solid background paper
2. Add a frame and photo to the center of your page
3. Anchor your frame with a button or brad
4. Place a strip of patterned paper under your frame, on the right side of the page
5. Place paint or a watermark under the strip of patterned paper
6. Place a stamp/doodle/element over your frame and photo on the left side
7. Place a piece of word art near the stamp
8. Create a cluster of elements on the right side of your frame. Your cluster should include ribbon, leaves, and at least one flower
9. Include vellum somewhere on your page
10. Include the date of the photo somewhere on your page

I have been somewhat generic with my instructions, so you can put your own spin on the page. But you should try to follow the instructions as they’re written – for example, the instructions talk about one strip of patterned paper, so that is all the patterned paper you should have. The element cluster should have ribbon, leaves and flower(s), nothing else.

The stuff you need to know: Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Please post your page in your page thread you created in this folder. You should have one post per completed challenge page. If you complete all 31 challenges, your thread should contain 31 posts. Please do not comment in the participants’ page threads so we can keep them clean. You should also post your page here in this thread, and people can comment here if they wish. Pages should contain at least 75% current Lilypad product (currently for sale in the store from either permanent designers or guest designers).

I can't wait to see how you interpret my instructions, and all the different versions! Have fun!
