I've barely caught my breath from participating in the Amazing Digital Scrap Race 5 when Survivor 2 -Scrapping Safari started! What was I thinking??? Hmmmm... probably that I love to scrap and I love a challenge! This one's a little more serious - there' only ONE ultimate survivor at the end of this competition. I'm hoping it will be me. I'm already working on some alliances. But in the end, it's my layouts that will get me eliminated or to the finals.
Here's the first week's challenge:
You will need to create a LO with a safari theme. We are not monkeying around this year.
This layout Must to include All the following items:
•At least one jungle print paper somewhere on your layout
•Tiki torch
•Monkey
•Foliage (tree or plant)
•The word Safari
•Border (Around a photo or around the whole LO)
•A large title
And here's my layout:
If you want to leave me some love, I'd appreciate it. Click here.
I'll let you know how I do....

I've been under the weather, so I'm sorry I didn't get this up sooner... but here are awesome new releases from Chelle's Creations and Man in the Moon Designs.
I just love this kit, Easter Morning, from Man in the Moon and Stolen Moments - isn't the bunny the cutest?? And yum... I could just take a bite out of that chocolate bunny... I think that's why they made the chocolate alpha (with the bites out of it - LOL). I'm inspired to take tons of pictures this Easter so I can use this kit over and over! I find new things to love about it every time I use it.
And although Drew's not old enough to be a basketball star, I really think Chelle's Slam Dunk is so fun! I can see using it with Drew playing basketball in the driveway or being in the gym at the Y. It's surprisingly versatile! Here it is...
Check them out. You will love them, I promise!

Here are the instructions for this challenge:
The first step of the challenge is to look at the color wheel. You and your partner must choose opposing colors on the wheel, so for example, if you pick blue, your partner must use orange. It should be the predominant color in the layout but it does not have to be the only color used.
The second step is incorporate this quote in some way: “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” - Mary Lou Cook
You can use any part of this quote as your inspiration. For example, you could make a layout about growing. You could make a layout about breaking the rules, etc. You can use any part of the quotes or words from the quote. The quote itself does NOT have to appear on your page.
The third step is to include the following: You MUST include paint. This item is mandatory.
Then, pick 7 more from this list: swirls, glitter, black and white photo, 2 alphas, something metal, stitching,
patterned paper, funky font, journaling.
Here's my "eye catching" LO:
