UKS Oscars Cybercrop Day 2

Okay so it’s the end of day 2 of the UKS Oscars cybercrop.

Have to admit to having not been very productive yesterday evening mainly due to having to install Office 2007 and then get to know how to use it before I could do anything – it’s weird compared to all previous versions of the programme, but I’m loving it so far. Also the first few classes weren’t really my sort of thing as a digiscrapper – the first was to decorate a manikin and then do a mini book for it to hold, then there was a challenge to make embellishments etc. However, this evening I’ve got into my stride and managed to accumulate 130 points for the Drama Queens.

Now I know they say the point of the cybercrop isn’t to get points it’s to have fun and do decent layout’s (and to that end they’ve hidden the score and they won’t be announced until the crop is finished – please let us see the running total Scrappybunny *beg beg*), but as we all know - for me points are the thing. They are the thing that actually get me scrapping. Let’s face it I didn’t even get round to looking at the classes for the last one which had no points attached to it and neither did several of my sinner mates.

Of course I’ve made it difficult for myself (why not eh?) because with the exception of one layout I am expecting the rest will be of Jo and Paul’s wedding and so I’m having to adapt the classes to fit the colour scheme that I’ve been using for them.

So far I have managed 2 classes and 1 challenge, although I’m anticipating completing a few more before I go to bed (after all I haven’t done my traditional cybercrop Kiefer layout yet).

So here’s what I’ve done as of 11pm tonight:

Class: The Colour Purple by Beckie – this class used lush velvet papers etc.

Class: The Stuntman by Sarah – how not to be afraid of white space it said on the blurb!

Challenge: Media Mogul – a layout based on a movie poster. I used the one for Pride & Prejudice (shown below)

So I’m off to read back through the challenges and see what else I can do easily otherwise I might be making a start on my Kiefer layout.

Day Two: Cybercrop Points = 130
