Alota Challenge 18 Scrapling Challenge September 1st - 15th
It's time for another Alota challenge, are you ready.
Earlier on in the year I discovered and fell in love with Scraplings. For those of you who haven't heard of scraplings before here is some information that should help you create one or two of them. The good thing about them is that you also get to use up some of the scraps.
Scraplings are normally 1.25" x 4.25" because they are often made from the off cuts you get when you make a square card (4.25" square) from a piece of card that is 4.25" x 5.5". However if you are like me your scraplings may be a little wider depending on what you are working on at the time. Now for me 1.25" is way too narrow and I normally have wider card then that left over so you can makes yours wider .... BUT for this challenge they cannot be any wider then 2.5 inches that is for the base of the scrapling ... you can have wider pieces hanging off like I did with my scrapling above, that is up to you .... as long as they are no wider then 2.5 inches.
Make sure you tag your card with Alota18, when you upload to PCP so that Michelle can find it and add it to the sideshow.
The challenge starts now September 1st and ends on September 16th 2009
Here are my scraplings:
The last 2 I made sometime ago but thought I would add here to give you some more ideas
