Scrappin' Moms Idol 2 - Week #3

Round 2 is finished and these are the ladies who are still in the game...

Let's get them ready for the next round!

Congratulations ladies!

Here is the Week # 3 challenge...

"A Day in the Life"

Design Concept: Direction & Movement

This principle of design refers to dynamic movement through a given composition. It is like providing a sequence for the eye to follow, giving the layout or the elements more appeal as its story unfolds to the viewer.

Here are some examples:













In each layout, you can almost see an imaginary line directing your eyes from point to point. In "Pool" you can see a circular pattern leading your eye to the photos and reinforced by the arrows. In "I Blinked" there is an imaginary "z movement" leading your eye from left to right, top to bottom on the layout. And, in "Sunshine" the placement of each elements seem to move in a downward position. This started off with the bird, then the subject seemingly looking down at the title.

In this challenge, we want you to document and capture through your photos and journaling a day in your or somebody else's life, and apply the Principles of Direction and Movement in your LO.

• How do you capture your or somebody else’s life in a day
• Create a 12x12 layout highlighting a day in your, or somebody else’s life
• A mixture of Colored & Black & White photos are required
• Journaling must be visible
• Include a write-up of how you applied Direction and Movement in your design
  

Criteria for Judging: Originality & Creativity – 25%, Overall Design & Craftsmanship – 25%, Choice of Photo – 20%, Journal – 20%, Challenge Requirement – 10%

Reminders:

• All entries must be submitted by September 4 (Thursday) on or before 10:00am
• Email your entries to: scrappinmoms@gmail.com
• File size of each of your photos should be no larger than 300KB

Week #1 - Pick of The Week

This week, everyone wowed us with their wonderful creations! Our guest judge, Iris Uy, had a hard time choosing the best for her. But as they say, there can only be one.

The Week #1 - Pick of the Week is...

ROLLYN MALIG

This is what Iris had to say about Yoyin's creation:

"There were a lot of outstanding entries that I felt so proud knowing that the art I was looking at was made by our own group of scrappers. I have seen a lot of work from accomplished international scrappers and I think half of them may not even be able to come up with something as creative and unique as what the Scrappin' Moms finalists have created for this round. It was very hard to pick just one set of projects. I went over and over my favorites and this scrappers work really tops it all for me. Rollyn Malig’s Party Set impressed me so much. The place holder is so charming with the air balloon and the bird, the cake topper looks so fun and really screams PARTY! The animal theme does not limit its charm to children only. The well crafted projects merit even the adult’s admiration. The final touch which is the décor balloons are stunning. Rollyn made these herself by inflating a balloon, using the shape of the balloon for the jute twine, deflating the balloon, and then placing a candle inside the shaped jute twine."

Week #1 Gallery

The Gallery for Week #1 is now officially open.

Check out the intricate and wonderful creations of our Idol participants and be wowed by their creativity!

Week #1 Celebrity Judge - Ms. Iris Uy

Our Celebrity Judge for this week is our very own, Ms. Iris Uy!

A very talented scrapper, Iris has been making raves in the scrapbook industry abroad with her wonderful creations. She thinks of her style as "free, full of heart, romance, and imagination. I rarely plan my pages – I let a photo or a patterned paper inspire me and I take it from there." She had once confessed that "I’d secretly feed junk food to my daughter if it’s gonna help me get a better picture from her (Oooops... I know!)."

A 2007 Memory Makers Master, Iris is also a part of the Design Team of notable scrapbook manufacturers namely, Prima, Webster's and October Afternoon.

With her eye for detail, Iris is sure to be the best judge for this round.
