UKScrappers Monopoly Cybercrop ~ April 2010 ~ Challenges

I wasn't able to take part in the latest UKScrappers Cybercrop which was based on the Monopoly game. Instead, I downloaded all the information to do at my leisure. I've managed to do every challenge LO and just have the classes to do. Here's the start of several LOs:

Regent Street

Use the sketch and scrap our favourite shopping experience.

Mine's the time I went to the Stamp and Scrapbook Show at Ally Pally.

The rub-on at the top says it all really

Vine Street

Use vines in some way on our LO

Water Works

A LO of a holiday we have loved and include something water based, either in the photo or a water based technique

I also used Pencillines sketch #168

Kings Cross Station

A LO with 4 photos and including some kind of cross or x X x 's

I didn't have 4 photos I wanted to use,

so cut a panoramic one into 4

Super Tax

LO using Posh Stash

I'd had some papers and die-cuts that I'd kept because "you never know when you're going to want to use it for that special LO". I used some of it for this challenge

Park Lane

Use a sketch of our choice and outside photos

I used Pencillines sketch #179

Marylebone Station

Scrap a journey (one-off, regular one, long, short, love, hate etc) with no other restrictions/rules.

I went totally different with my interpretation of journey

Picadilly

This was in two parts:

1) cup of tea photo in a posh cup in honor of The Ritz

2) a LO detailling a NEW tradition to the family

Jo's tea part hen party has sparked a tradition of posh tea parties as she had one on her birthday this year too

I've also used Pencillines sket5ch #180

Pass Go

Use an element from each team piece

For example:

THIMBLES ~ a stitching / sewing element

TOP HATS ~ a hidden element

CARS ~ a moveable / flap / pop up element

SHIPS ~ a metallic / shiny element

I've used:

THIMBLES ~ sewn the buttons together before sticking down

TOP HATS ~ more photos hidden under the front LO

CARS ~ the LOs are attached by hinges making a flap

SHIPS ~ the hinges are metal

Coventry Street

Use the sketch and do a LO all about FRIENDSHIP

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this and will be making a start on the classes soon, I hope.

Thanks for making it too the end.

Take care

Love, Sarah C xx
