If you are interested in signing up for this contest, you still have time to do so! I will be taking sign-ups until midnight CST on Sunday, July 6. Remember, you need to have 25 posts to participate, so come and chat with us or be inspired by our fabulous gallery (gallery comments count towards your post total)! Here is the official signup thread: Ultimate Recipe Showdown signup thread
Since July started on a Tuesday, thus making our week short, and because the holiday is in there too, our first round will only be a practice round. We will not be voting. You will not be penalized for not doing the challenge, but I encourage you to try it. I want you to get used to using a recipe, and also to scrapping with a deadline.
Your practice round recipe:
There you go, easy as all-American apple pie! Hope to see you there!!

Ultimate Recipe Showdown contest!
Come find out what we have cooking for the month of July!
We’re not talking Betty Crocker here–we want to put your culinary skills to the test, using your kitchen (scrap space), cookware (tools) and ingredients (scrap supplies). We’ll provide the recipes, but you’ll need to add the final garnish–your creativity!
The contest will run the entire month of July 2008. The winner will receive an online gift certificate in the amount of $25.00 USD (online vendor TBA).
Beginning Tuesday, July 1, each week participants will be given a “recipe” to follow (a list of scrap supplies to use on one layout). How well you follow that recipe, as well as your skill at combining the ingredients, will be determined by a weekly vote, with only the top chefs moving on to the next round.
The requirements are pretty simple: you need to be registered for our message board and have at least 25 posts. To register, simply go to www.scrapshanty.com and click on “message board” for info.
Paper, digital and hybrid scrappers welcome!!
Please note that this contest does not involve actual food preparation, nor will you be making a book of recipes.
We hope you’ll come join us for a month of fun and to find out if you can stand the heat–or if you need to get out of the kitchen!

Hello again! It’s time for another Scraplift Conversion challenge! And this week I have something special for you!
This week’s layout was created by jc.chris, who’s a member of my Creative Team. She normally makes digital layouts, but lately she’s been playing around with paper, thanks to the Shanty’s influence. So this week, we are going to take one of her paper layouts and turn it into a digital creation! Here is our inspiration:

This month’s digi-sponsor at the Shanty is A Shade of Blue! Anne has given us two of her latest kits to play with, Lakeside and Summer Sherbet. Here’s a layout I made, using one of Anne’s incredible background papers:
Be sure to stop by the Shade of Blue Gallery on the forum to have a peek at all our pretty layouts that we’ve made with Anne’s fantastic kits!

Hey there all you photo fans! We have decided to shake things up a bit with the photography challenge. Taking pictures is awesome….but lets don’t be forgetting to SCRAP those shots! This challenge is all about that……the idea is to not only take the picture of the week but to SCRAP that photo too!
Our first week’s theme is BEAUTIFUL to ME
Beauty surrounds us in many forms. Nature, people, pets…beauty means different things to each of us.
Find some beauty and take a photo. THEN scrap this photo(s) to record the beauty you see……….
don’t forget to share it with us on the board and in the gallery so we can be inspired!!
