And we’re back! Happy Fourth of July to all! This week I picked a layout that I hope you will enjoy using for all your celebratory snapshots. I figure we’ll all be busy taking pictures at some point this weekend… and then of course we’ll need to scrap ‘em!
Here is this week’s inspiration from Jen:
And here is our digital template so that we can turn this layout into a pretty little pixels:
When you’ve scrapped your own take on this week’s layout, be sure to come back and show us your pretty layouts in this thread here: Scraplift Conversion - July 4th. Can’t wait to see what you make!
Happy scrapping!

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!

Hi there fellow scrappers!!! Here at the Scrap Shanty we started a new schedule and with a new schedule comes a bit of a change for our challenges! We will be having two sketch challenges per month, bi-weekly, to keep those creative juices flowing.
For this week here is a little special sketch from our lovely Brook!!!
http://www.scrapshanty.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=10288
Here is my go at!
Everything that I am into was in this sketch. The little tidbits, swirlies, small photo, and a good balance of wthite space. I NEVER thought that I would get into white space! Who knew! LOL!!!
Have fun and remember to stop by the Shanty and share your AWESOME creations!!!
Have you been playing along with us? We are in week three of SYTYCS and Christi our game hostess is giving away a RAK for one lucky person thats participating!
Week three challenge is…
Because June is known for being a month when a lot of weddings are held, this week’s challenge is called “Goin’ to the Chapel!”
You must use:
Something old
Something new
Something borrowed*
Something blue
*you must borrow something from your partner. This could be a title, LO idea, LO design, color scheme, a tool/product if you live close enough IRL or even a photo if your partner would like to email you one.
The choice is up to you, but when you email your entry to me, please let me know what it is that you have borrowed, as well as the old, new and blue items.
Do your best to participate and get your name in the drawing for the RAK!

OK - here is your first Ad Challenge for June! (This challenge will be alternating with the Sketch challenge each Friday).
Please feel free to get your inspiration however you choose. I treated this ad more as a sketch, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Perhaps the colors inspire you, or the type face used, or just the general arrangement of the elements. I can’t wait to see your creations.
So, without further ado, here is the ad:
And here is a template for digital scrappers to play along:
Come check out the Shanty Board for how some of our Design Team members interpreted this ad!

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!
