Woohoo! It's Time for the Fair! Believe it or not I really don't like rides but I love to go to the Fair, LOL! I think it comes from when I was younger and being fascinated with all that goes on at the fair. There's so much to see, smell, taste, hear and feel.

Woohoo! It's Time for the Fair! It's our 2nd challenge of our Summer VSBN Fair. We're all enjoying the sites, sounds and activities from our last Scrapbooking Fair Challenge! Be sure to stop and check out those GREAT Pages!
No matter what Fair you go to, your sure to find a ride or 2 ...3 ... 4 that goes around. You could ride on a horse around the merry-go-round or see all the great sites from a top the Ferris Wheel. Of course, if you're more of a thrill seeker, you could spin in a ride fast enough for the floor to drop and be pressed to the wall. Whatever your preference for going around, the Fair has it.
Tonight our ScrappingFair Challenge has a bit of a different Twist on it .... We're going to Spin Through the Gallery! That's right, It's a Scraplift Challenge. Your Scrap Fair Circle Challenge is to go to the Gallery of the Person who posts before you and says "Here's My Ticket" or "I want a Spin" and grab a page to be inspired by and scraplift. A "scraplift" is when you take inspiration from a page done by that person and create your own page. A scraplift can be the sketch, the colors, the title, the embellishments...whatever inspires you from that page. Make sure when you upload you post a link to the page you scraplifted in your description. Your page or pages can be any size, digi or traditional. You can also play more than once!
Enjoy the Ride! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Just to clarify:
1. Post in the thread A Reply with Title - "Here's My Ticket" or "I want a Spin"
2. In the body of your post, just to help everyone keep up, list the person who posted before you who you are scraplifting. --- for instance, I've posted first so whoever posts after me would scraplift from my gallery and the next person would scraplift from theirs ...
3. Head to their Gallery and pick a page or 2 to be inspired
4. Upload to your Gallery with Key Word "12SummerVSBN02" and be sure to post the link to the page you chose in your description
5. Come back to the thread and post your link, feel free to post the link to their page as well if you'd like
6. *Optional* sign up to RIDE (scraplift) again

Title: Fair Food
Hostess: Patti (princessp1971)
Keyword: 12SUMMERVSBN03
Day/Date: Saturday June 23 2012
Time to complete: June 23 to July 15 Please note you have 3 weeks to complete the challenge
So much to enjoy at the fair. The sites, the sounds, the animals and of course the food! I love to see all the animals and the 4H exhibits and then of course the food. All kinds of different foods (most of them not very healthy). Three of my favorite fair foods are candied apples, elephant ears and deep fried dill pickles. Yummy good thing I don't eat these foods often...
So with that in mind the challenge is to pick one of my favorite fair foods and build your page around whatever colors that food reminds you of. Also use brads or flowers or ribbon or use all three embellishments. Just make the page all your own.
Your page does not have to be about food.
Be sure to tell use what food you chose and be sure to leave a link to your page in this chat thread.

Our county fair is much like any other fair. We have rides, food, games, livestock shows and concerts. We have a gospel night and a karaoke contest. Then on Friday and Saturday night the bigger name entertainers make their apprearance followed by a fireworks show. Sounds like fun right?
Well, the biggest attraction, bigger than the rides or games or shows is the MUD BOG!!!! Every redneck within driving distance brings their souped-up, jacked-up, shined-up road wagon to run through the homemade mud puddle that stretches the length of a football field. Most of the time the trucks are old and really loud, but every year there's at least one genius who brings their brand new $40,000 four wheel drive and heads right in. (Probably a kid who snagged Daddy's keys without him knowing.) The higher the mud slings the louder the crowd cheers and if you break down or catch on fire they really love you, but the ones who get the most noise are the girls who show the guys how it's done.
So if you're a redneck and you have a truck you think would go through our mud hole, head on over to Braxton County, WV the first Saturday in August. We'd be glad to see you get towed out!;)
My challlenge, in honor of the mud slinging girls, is to make a manly page about a girl or if you only have boys, like me, then make a girlie page about a boy. I hope you have fun with it!

I haven't been to the fair in years! So, I looked up last year's state fair schedule, just to see what they did! There seems to be a lot of pig races and such! So my challenge of course involves pigs!
Challenge:Your page must somehow by inspired by pigs! LOL
And, you must use pink (of course) on your page.
No sample for you. I will be trying to come up with something right along with you! I have no idea where this will take me. Just have fun! It would be nice if you told us how you got from pigs to your page, though!
Be sure and use the keywords 12SummerVSBN05
Later, when we have the gallery started, I will link it up. Gallery
That's it! I hope you will all play!

One of my favorite things about going to the fair in our area is the photography exhibit. I could spend hours just walking through the exhibit, looking at all the wonderful ways local people have used their cameras to create works of art. For this challenge, I want you to pick a favorite photo and make it the focal point of your layout. You may add other photos if you want, but we should be left in no doubt regarding which one is your focus. Add extra mats, enlarge it, draw our attention to it using arrows, etc. Get creative and let�s see what photo you would want to enter into the photography exhibit! I�m going to be working right alongside you to get my layout done; I can�t wait to see what you come up with.

Title: Softball Throw

Day/Date: Saturday 07/28
Due Date: Saturday, 08/18
The first things I think of when going to the fair are the rides and the games. Loved the games as a kid and the softball throw was one I could never beat. Use the attached sketch as a starting point for your page. This was a freebie template I downloaded a long time ago by Red Leaf Digiscrapping but I deleted 3 rows and enlarged the ones that were left. This shows 3 tiers but you can delete a tier or add some to fit the number of pictures you would like to use. My sample is one I did with the original template. I'll do a more updated sample too.

From the all the carnival rides to the ponies to the car show there is plenty to ride at the fair.
Tell us about your ride; your first car, your child's or grandchild's first car, your antique car, bicycle, motorcycle, unicycle, or tractor to name a few. Did you get a new ride? Wreck your old ride? Have to get a more "practical" ride after having kids? Maybe your kid's favorite ride or one they hate. Whatever it is let's hear about it.

We have all been to the fair at one time or another and spent the day doing so many things, the food, the rides, the tractor pulls, the 4-H exhibits and all the animals. I know we have and while walking to our car after a full day at the fair one of us has always said "oh what a day"
So my challenge is to make your page about a day that you enjoyed enough to say "oh what a day".

So the fun part for many of us at fairs is the adrenaline rush we get from going on the rides. We will queue for it, and we will part with our hard earned cash for it.
This challenge is to create a page showing FEAR in some way - either by using images from an event you found really challenging and scary, or by using colours/embellies that evoke the sensation of fear.
I will be playing alongside you - so there is no sample right now (in fact I even have to go and print the photos!!).
Good Luck, and I hope you enjoy playing :o)

One of the things I love about the fairs is the entertainment. Maybe that�s because I�m on a country and western dance team and we always perform at the State and County Fairs. But aside from performing, I enjoy watching other shows as well. There are always fun acts, including musicians, hypnotists, ballet dance troupes, belly dancers, singers�the list goes on!
For this challenge, scrap about a performance of some sort�it could be your kids� recitals, a show you�ve seen or been in, a parade or gymnastics performance, even a puppet show! Whatever you can think of!
I�ve done a few pages in the past and have posted them here for some ideas, but I�ll be working on another:

Title: Best In Show

Keyword: 12SummerVSBN12
Day/Date: Sunday 07/29
Due Date: Saturday, 08/18
A peculiarity of country fairs in New Zealand (does this happen everywhere??) is the 'indoor exhibits' - a chance for the rural women and children to shine. These exhibits include things like pikelets, scones, garden blooms and produce - all of which are judged for their excellence (and presumedly to demonstrate housewifely prowess).
This challenge is to make a page of something you have done or created which you are extremely proud of. Yes, you heard it - a page about YOU, where you have to crow about how great you are! It might be your fabulous pikelets or scones, or it could be something else you've done (or attempted) that caused you to stand up a bit straighter and pat your own back.
The twist to this is it is NOT to be about your own kids/partner/grandchildren - we all know there will be enough pages about them already!
Again, I'll be working along side you (more photos to print), but I've attached a past example to show you what I mean.

Does anyone remember the great song from the musical Camelot, "Then You May Take Me to the Fair?" Three knights compete for the honor of taking Queen Guenevere to the fair, the ball, and the cattle show, each promising to do amazing feats of strength and valor in order to win the right to be her escort. Don�t worry, I�m not going to make you show your muscle, but I thought it would be fun to do a challenge based on competitions. You can use fair pictures or any competition photos you have. Bonus points for using feats of strength photos and/or any of the (less violent) lyrics from the song. I'm going to be working on this challenge right alongside you! Have fun.

Wrappin' It Up
Hostess: Lela (LMN)
Keyword: 12SummerVSBN14
Date: Monday, 07/30
Due: August 18, 2012
Saturday in the mail we go the News Flyer with all the events listed for our local fair starting today. WOW! There's a little bit of everything for every person! I've never paid much attention and as well, I must admit, I'm a "city" girl so the first time I'd ever been to a fair I was 17 and I went only for the concert, the next time, late 20's and my DH wanted to take my sons out for some rides. I noticed in the News Flyer that our County Fair the last show, next Sunday night is fireworks. What a Wrap Up!
I was thinking about that and decided that to end our Scrappin' Fair, we really need a "WRap Up" Challenge. The one big "bang" to end the fair on so here's the challenge!
--- Let's Wrap It up --- believe it or not, August is just around the corner and our Summer will be soon "wrapping up". Let's use some summer pictures **bonus for 2012 Summer Picts but they don't have to be**
--- Let's Wrap It up --- here's the tricky part of this challenge. Select another Scrapper and Invite them to "Wrap It Up" with you. This simply means that your pages have to somehow "tie" together and you both have to post a page or layout sometime before August 18. Your pages could both be from the month of June, both start with same sketch, both use 6 pictures, or both use red, white, blue.... you get the idea. After all, the more the merrier to celebrate the wrap up. Suggestions to make this work:
* Reach out to someone and invite them to "wrap it up" with you
* Discuss Idea for "tying the pages together"
* You can do as much or as little "tying together" as you choose
* Agree you'll both do the page/pages
* List who your partner was in write up
* You can be both the "inviter" and the "invited" --just
means you may do more than 1 page or layout
* Only 2 scrappers per "wrap Up" team
* "Blue Ribbon" goes to Team that "Wraps It Up" together the most
creatively!
