CHALLENGE 1: ‘FEELING DISTRESSED?’

This challenge is based on the Urban Grunge style of Scrapbooking! What is Urban Grunge you ask, well its layouts consisting of materials such as mesh, metal, dog tags, bottle tops and staples!!

Corrugated paper, cardboard and barbed wire are typical materials used in this style. This style lends itself to heavily inked edges, and lots of distressing. Black and white altered photos are typically used, as well as strip journaling and a random approach to title letters. Colours such as black, brown, blue, grey, silver or anything military looking suit this style!

To do this style at home, think distressing and lots of it!! Tear up your paper, smear ink on everything and sand til your hearts content! It will be great for stress relief!! J

Alter your photos in a photo editing program, converting you pic to black and white then playing around with the saturation and contrast features!!

Now…. To get to the challenge, you need to create a layout in the urban grunge style using:

  • Cardboard
  • Distressing techniques
  • Black and white altered photo, and
  • At least one non-scrapping item

And the optional (bonus points) criteria for this challenge is to use eyelets!!

Here is my example:


The prize for this challenge is a $20 Prize Pack top 50

All entries must be loaded into the ‘Feeling Distressed’ folder in the Nov CC Gallery folder by midnight Nov 25th!!

Enjoyed doing this too. Finally, got to use my masks, which I've had for over a year.
