March 30, 2012 8 pm Take the Leap: Leaping to Conclusions
Title: Leaping to Conclusions
Hostess: Cheryl (Motherload)
Keyword: LeapVSBN04
Day/Date: Friday, March 30, 2012
Time: 8pm EST
When I think of leaping, the first phrase that comes to mind is �Leaping to Conclusions.� How often do we hear or see something and we don�t wait for the end, we just leap to a conclusion regarding what it�s about? For this challenge, I would like you to create a layout that makes people leap to a conclusion, and then spring a surprise on them. For example, your title could have a hidden part or use some word play, or your pictures could only show part of the story and everyone has to read the journaling to get the real story. Get creative, and please keep us guessing!
Here is the GALLERY for this challenge...leave a little luv for everyone!
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. To be considered for VSBN Recognition, ALL VSBN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON Sunday, April 8, 2012
2. You have a total of 2 working hours to complete the challenge. Time spent is cumulative; just keep your total time per challenge under the 2 hour limit. Please be sure to write your description of how you interpreted this challenge in your Upload Description.
3. Please remember to put in the correct KEYWORD LeapVSBN04 when uploading your image; a wrong keyword means your submission may not be seen for consideration. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure you layout is seen by the host and all visitors.
Hope the challenge isn't too hard! I've had all month to think about it, and I kept coming up with ideas for layouts, but then I had to remind myself to wait for VSBN.
Hmmm. just got back from having dinner - DH made delicious kebabs. Have to finish the last challenge while I think on this one. DS is always doing goofy stuff - I should be able to come up with a photo that isn't what you'd expect!:roll eyes:
Great challenge!

Sounds delicious! I love it when my DH fixes dinner!
I hope what I am doing works at making you jump to conclusions!

Okay, I give up... Two challenges completed and two pictures of pages taken, but no successful upload, because I can't figure out how to get the pictures from the IPHONE to the computer to here. So I am hanging out and scrapping but you will have to enjoy all my new goodies tomorrow when the Head geek gets home from work to help me upload. I feel really really stupid right now! :( so glad this is all virtual and you can't see or hear all my frustrations...

Wow, you are fast! At scrapbooking, at least. Good luck with figuring out the upload.
Well, I hope this is enough to make a leap to conclusion! I used the photo for the title, of Happy Valentines Day. The journaling tells the rest of the story, not sure you can read it. We are actually celebrating that DH proposed 46 years ago Valentines Day, and we are doing it on the first night of a cruise he booked that began Valentines day!
Anyway here is Happy Valentines Day. I had all of those speelbiner thingies already cut out and they seem to go with the design on the paper
This was a great creative challenge Cheryl! Thank you for hostessing!

girl it took me 15 times to get mine the right size and stuff to get it to upload!
Here's mine. I was trying to over think the challenge and when I walked into my craft room this picture was on my desk in a photo clip and right away I got the idea for my page! What a great challenge, thanks Cheryl!

I am so glad I was able to play tonight... I am busy all day tomorrow hopefully I can catch up sunday .... thanks for sharing all your great art work tonight its fun to see how creative everyone is! Anyone in Duluth come on up to Barnes & Noble 9 am tomorrow (Saturday AM) I am teaching a MDS group!
I'm still working in my room. I was interrupted many times tonight so I decided to organize and put things away that have been sitting out. Tomorrow I have to take DD1 to tennis but she now has a friend taking it with her so that mom is picking up. DH is taking dd2 to her LAX games so they should be gone all afternoon. I think there will be much less interruptions tomorrow :-)

wahoo! hopefully I will have less interruptions as well...and not be as tired as I have become tonight:rolleyes:
There is a phrase I twisted around to fit this challenge, I like how it turned out - fun idea Cheryl. Reason to Fail
Not the "neatest" page, but it was fun.

checking in. I found the perfect photos for this from our trip to Oklahoma. Now to stay out of the book I'm reading long enough to do the page. Ugh, I'm having to choose between my loves - books and scrapbooking! Nooooooooo!
Good challenge. I've been trying to work in Disney pages with the challenges but I'm not too sure I've got pictures that would fit this theme. I'm off the bed since the thunder seems to be getting closer now and perhaps I'll dream about what I need to scrap to fit this challenge! Thanks for hostessing...great idea!
Finished my page! This was an awesome challenge - I hope you like what I did with it... I cried while writing up the description (Stupid pregnancy hormones! LOL!)

One of the easiest ways is to email the photo to yourself, the open the email on your oc and upload to the gallery. Send me a pm if you need help, I'll try to walk you through it.

I got started on this one a little later than I had hoped. But the title ended up being the challenge buster for me....."Huggies". Yes, the diapers. But not for my scrapbook page (although as we age, "diapers" may again be necessary, but not for a long time I hope!)
