Every summer (and during writer's strikes) our favorite shows go into re-runs so we can get caught up on all th episodes we might have missed.
My challenge to you is to pick one of the past weekly challenges that you might have missed. You can do the sketch challenge; the theme challenge or the diva challenge. Any one that you missed doing when it was first run.
TV Bonus Points: Be sure there is stamping somewhere on your layout.
My challenge to you is modeled after American Idol, since I live in the same city as Kellie Pickler and we had American Idol fever a few years ago in town. I decided what better than that.
American Idol is all about performing, so that's what your page needs to be about. Now there are many ways to perform, singing, drama, sports, band or yet the idea. Any type of performance.
TV Bonus Points: Since American Idol is about flash and bright lights you will need to use BLING on your page. Any kind of bling will do such as glitter, rhinestones, sequins, etc. Extra points for ribbon as well.
The Lifetime Movie Network is one of my favorite channels. Many of the featured movies are docudramas. A docudrama is a movie based on real life events, usually dramatic in nature. A docudrama is bought to make you cry, laugh out loud, cry again, and laugh again. The emotions are usually raw and inspiring.
So, for this challenge, create a layout that documents a dramatic event or period in your life. Include journaling, please. Also, try to use papers and embellishments that add drama to your page.
Some general information about the LIFETIME DOCUDRAMA Challenge:
1. You can create a one or two page layout, in any size of your choosing.
2. You may create a layout with or without photos. The sample pages in my gallery feature one layout with photos and another without.
3. You may use any papers, colors, or embellishments that you want. (Think drama!)
4. You may journal by any method of your choosing (handwriting, computer, stickers, etc.)
BONUS POINTS:
- You will receive bonus points for this challenge if, in the description of your gallery photo, you include all of the journaling on the page(s).
Thank you for participating in my challenge. ~ Rebecha
"Hollywood Squares" - Remember the game show? This challenge is to use the PROVIDED sketch to create your page.
Bonus TV Points are inspired from "The Newlywed Game" which would be to incorporate on your page things that you wish you had known about your spouse before you got married..but you can't change now! (I still a newlywed so ummm it was a little hard to incorporate quite yet....)
Well we’re movin on up, to the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up to the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’ just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.
Well we’re movin on up, to the East Side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up to the east side.

A favorite old show of mine, The Jefferson's, had a great theme song called "Moving On Up". For this challenge it is a sketch in which requires arrows. Here is the sketch to follow. Give me your version of this sketch and receive BONUS points for using it to scrap some kind of accomplishment!
It's all about the taping or recording these days. How many of you tape, TIVO or DVR your favorite shows. I know that I certainly do. Nothing like watching my Grey's Anatomy without those pesky commercials. In honor of this great way of watching our favorite shows I would like you to use a glitter window somewhere on your page. I have included Beate's Glitter Window Tutorial. Have fun and show me your windows.
For my challenge I couldn't resist channeling in some old Seinfeld episodes... of course I had to narrow them down a LOT! I have listed 3 episodes that I was able to add a scrappy twist to. Your first challenge is to pick one, then have fun!
-Bizzaro Jerry. This episode involved a very obsessed Krammer to Kenny Roaster's chicken!
If you choose this challenge try a layout about addiction. Pick a picture of yourself or something that you are "addicted" to -ie. chocolate, coffee, starbucks, apples?? and then also hone in your scrapbooking favorite and use an embellishment that you are also "ADDICTED" to.
-SEVEN! Seriously George thought that he "owned" the name SEVEN!?! too funny... so lets keep Georgey happy and create a layout using 7 different embellishments. (ie. ribbon, brads, bling, chipboard accents, flowers, metal, stickers, buttons...) whatever you choose you must use 7 of them! Pick 7 different embellies and use 7 of them. (on a layout single or double your choice)
-MAN HANDS! She had hands like a MAN! this episode CRACKS me up. If this is the challenge you choose, let's see a layout about your favorite or Least favorite body part. Whether you want to show off your cute little piggies with a perfect pedicure, or maybe you have really unique eyes... Maybe you have a nail biting habit {like me} and your fingers are your least favorite. Whatever it may be, a layout sharing some inner feelings about a certain part of you and what you either love or hate about it is the challenge on the table.
BONUS POINTS:
- You will receive bonus points for a layout that has a title-phrase that was WELL known to come from Seinfeld. For example "NO SOUP FOR YOU!
I loved watching TV shows when I was a little girl. I can’t remember them all but one of my favorite is the Brady Bunch. I have no idea why that show was my favorite, maybe because no matter what happened, at the end of
the show, they are once again one happy family. Now I have a family of my own, not as big of a family, but it’s mine. Like all families we’d have good and bad events happening like building our first home together,
trying to suck a bead out a 3-year-old’s nose, and birthday celebrations.
Your challenge is to think about your family and also the well known Brady Bunch intro screen. My thoughts brought me to this layout. It doesn't look Brady-ish if you just look at it but if you pay attention, the central area is actually divided into nine sections just like the intro. So here is my sketch and sample. Be creative while staying within your nine little squares. My page is a digital scrapbook page that I created using Adobe Photoshop CS3 but you can use any media, paper, digital, or hybrid, a combination of the two to complete this challenge.
For non-digital scrapbookers, do you know that if you have a color printer, you can print any digital paper or element and use it just like your other paper material? If you haven't tried it, you should. It's quite fun. On my blog: http://www.scrapbit.com, there is a page called "Useful Links." There you will find links to places that has free digital kits. Download a few pages and incorporate them into your page -- bonus points for you if you do.
For those who wants to create in digital, try creating your own textured alpha. You can find a Photoshop tutorial here: http://www.scrapbit.com/2008/01/23/a...elementsalphas
You don't have to have CS3 to do this technique. Or, try incorporating a scalloped background paper that you created yourself.

On the hit reality Bravo show, Project Runway, designers often only have minutes to dash through a shop filled with wonderful fabrics, buttons, and other notions and turn them into an original and beautiful garment. They are sometimes inspired by an amazing swatch of fabric that they find in the shop.
Perhaps you will be inspired by the colors, designs, or interplays of the fabric.
The goals of this challenge are to:
(1) Use the fabric swatch image as inspiration in your original layout. Use the colors black/white/red or black/white/cream.
(2) Create a layout using as many sewing related products as possible: fabric swatch, ribbons, buttons, pins, beads, thread, etc.
Bonus points if you use a fabric swatch and at least three other sewing related items in your layout.
Make it work, designers!
BONUS POINTS:
- You will receive bonus points for this challenge if you use a fabric swatch and at least three other sewing 'related' items in your layout.
Simple images can spark our memories of a favorite TV show. Who can look at the zip code 90210 without thinking of Brenda and Brandon?? A tic tac toe board with three girls, three boys, mom, dad, and Alice immediately brings The Brady Bunch back to your mind. A rainbow peacock let’s us know that we’re watching NBC. Well…your challenge tonight is to create a layout using the title or logo from a TV show or channel as a part of our challenge. It can be in the layout or even the title.
My sample page is my completely adorable son at baseball (Bonus points for agreeing with me that he’s just adorable LOL). I use ESPN’s Baseball Tonight logo for my title. The more realistic the logo…the more bonus points you’ll earn. Have fun and happy scrapping.
BONUS POINTS:
You will receive bonus points for this challenge if you mention how adorable Jennifer's son is (lol).
Okay well really bonus points are really for making your title or design most realistic to the actual TV show.
Some of the most popular TV shows right now are "reality" TV. Those shows that are "unscripted" and "real" people. They seem to be pretty popular so let's jump on the bandwagon. What's your "reality" right now?
My challenge to you is to scrap your MOST RECENT pictures possible. Since they are recent, you should have LOTS to say about what's going on. Therefore, hide some journaling somwehere on your page. Many of the shows are "edgy" and explore new topics so if you can, use some of your most recently purchased Scrapbook supplies.
BONUS: You willl receive bonus points for using a Reality TV Show name as your title. Be sure to put the date the pics were taken in your upload infor.
Televsiion sest have come a long way from the original balck & white tube screens. Now there are Digital TVs. This challenge usa a digital layout. So come and let's get 'digi'.
Your challenge is to hit case one of these digi layouts showcased on SCS forum. Here is a link to a digi scrapper for you to review! You don't have to digi but will receive extra points if do!
Dragon is one of my 2 year old’s favourite shows. It’s on the Treehouse TV toddler’s network.
"Set in an imaginary animal world where ostriches work in stores, mice deliver the mail and beavers snore, the series playfully explores themes that are universally identifiable to children, including wanting a friend, being afraid of the dark and trying not to eat too much candy and ice cream."
My challenge to you is to scrap an imaginary part of life. It could be something from your child's life such as their imaginary play, or their hopes and dreams for their future or let your imagination run wild and imagine what their life would be as an adult. Or it could be something that you dream of for your own life or for someone else close to you. Let your imagination run wild and have fun!
BONUS POINTS: You will receive bonus points for incorporating a children’s television show into your title!
My favorite TV show is "The Office." My challenge is to use office supplies on your page. Some things would be like paper clip, staples, tabs, folders...etc.
Bonus Points: Create an altered clipboard. I made one for my mom for Christmas and here is what I am talking about just in case you are not sure.
For the last challenge of the evening you have an option between choosing one of these choices below:
1) "CNN's Bottom Line"
Yeah there's a ton of entertaining shows out there. However let's get serious on this one (not too serious). My challenge for you is to do a red & black page about anything 'newsworthy'. You must include a "Bottom Line" on your page showing the details of your story. Don't forget to include the date and time in the corner. I know is sounds alittle stiff, but you can do it. If you don't understand this than tun on CNN channel and sketch out the elements on the page and make me something that looks like that.
2) "Happy Days"
This one is a classic. Who doesn't love the FONZ, Richie, Joanie, Mrs. C, Potsy, and Ralph Malph! Travel down memory lane to Arnold's and order yourself a soda. sit down and scrapbook a page about your "Happy Days!" Happy Days must be in the title and include journaling.
Remember you have until Friday, March 7th at 10pm (CST) to upload your pages in the gallery for hostesses selections. If you have any questions or concerns you can post them on the TV Talk Chatting thread or PM me.
