February long 28-4-28 Talk & Total thread

It's finally here!  The first challenge has been posted.  Time to start the party!

Get your badge!  I typed http:// then i65.tinypic.com/o6wdhf.jpg into my signature line, then added Img on each end of it with square brackets around each.

The RULES:

There are not a lot of these.  Just create and have fun!

When you have met a challenge, or just created something crafty, let us know!  If you meet a challenge, please post in the thread for that challenge telling us what you did.  If you created something free style, please post in THIS thread to let us know.  Either way, we would love to see what you have done.  Either link a photo directly to the thread, or post your creation in our Gallery or on your blog or IG or some other place and share a link to it in your post.

There are no prizes, but if you feel competitive, we will be totalling up all your points from now until March 5th, and posting your totals in this op.

You get one point for each new page or card or other project you create.  I really don't want to get into measuring, but let's say that to be counted for one point, a page should be at least 5"x8" in size.  A two page LO will count 2 points.  **If you submit something smaller, like a PL card or ATC card, you will get half a point.  If you share it with us, your total for that project will be 1.5 points.**

To be counted, your creation must be new to this event.  It can be in response to a particular challenge, but it could be completely free style.  No pressure to do one of each of the challenges, but you can if you like.  If you want to do several pieces for one of the challenges and none for some of the others, that works too.

We will trust you if you simply TELL us you completed something and give you the point.  But I really believe that we all can inspire each other, so...  If you SHARE your creation with us, you get an extra point for it.

Cheer each other on.  No points for this, but it just makes the whole experience more fun!

The CHALLENGES:

Here are all the challenges to date and a link to the original post for each:

Weekend Workout #1:  S-T-R-E-T-C-H your creativity.  Take a page or project you have already done for 28-4-28 and stretch it into something more:  a double pager, a set of cards...

Weekend Workout #2:  Do the Reps!  Choose any challenge you have already taken on and DO IT AGAIN--the same design, colours, techniques, products--to create something new.

Weekend Workout #3:  Twist and Turn!  Take a second look at the challenges, choose one, and give it a twist.  Turn a lift or template on its side.  Tweek the content list.  Or take something you have already created and give THAT a twist.  Ideas and details are in the link.

Weekend workout #4: Shape Up! Create a page or card or project with an outside shape NOT a square or rectangle.

Weekend workout #5:  Cool Down.  Add up points for getting your scrappy space and supplies back in order after a hectic month of creativity.
