We Got Your Challenge #12....right here!!!
Yep, that's right, this is the stop for Challenge #12!!!
So, here it is:Your challenge is to scraplift your favorite layout done by your partner. If you're racing alone now, you can scraplift any other racer. But, your layout needs to be about the ADSR. You must scrap your page about your favorite aspect of the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race.
That's it. Two components. A scraplift and a topic.
And for completing the challenge, you'll get a coupon for $7 good towards anything in my personal store at NDISB. The coupon is good through the end of the year, so if you don't see $7 worth of stuff you don't already have, I've got plenty of new stuff coming out.
ETA: The layout you scraplift of your partner needs to be one an ADSR layout. Thanks for the question!!

Inspired by: http://www.designerdigitals.com/ddgallery/showphoto.php?photo=37320 and Michelle Coleman's Happy Stripes Elements.
Journaling:
Whenever I'm feeling down I will watch The Princess Bride. When I'm sick I can almost taste my mother's chicken and dumplings. When I'm lonely it reminds me of my parents lifting me into their Bronco and saying "inyago Montoya." Or my mom jokingly cackling "I'm not a witch! I'm your wife!" This movie taught me that "as you wish" means I love you, even death cannot stop true love, and miracles are coated in chocolate.

ADSR2 Week5 Challenge9
SPOTTED AT WWW.OSCRAPS.COM
Welcome, Amazing Digi Scrapping Racers! We at Oscraps are so excited to be your next stop along your 6-week digi-trek!
At Oscraps we’re all about keepin’ it real, so your next challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to scrap your *most embarrassing moment*—you know, that time you put your foot in your mouth big-time, or got caught doing something you never would have done if you’d known people were watching? Yeah—scrap that!
But that’s not all! For this challenge you MUST: --
Use a photo that goes with your most embarrassing moment. It doesn’t have to be a photo of the actual moment (because who stops in the middle of something super embarrassing and says, “Hey, I should get a picture of this so I can scrap it later!”?), but just a visual aid to the story. If you walked around all day with a piece of toilet paper hanging out the back of your pants, then use a photo of a roll of toilet paper. --
Journal about your embarrassing moment. --
Use at least one ribbon --
Use at least one tag --
Use at least two different fonts on your layout (not including alphas)
The idea behind this challenge is to be able to take an honest look at ourselves and admit that sometimes we’re not always as smooth as we’d like to be. And that’s totally okay. If you can laugh at yourself, you are blessed indeed!
Enjoy!
PS~ Please post a link here in this thread so we can all take a look at your layouts

Kelsey's Challenge #5
I was getting ready for a band performance. My mom had bought me a new black dress and matching black heels for the occasion. I wasn't one for wearing either, but once I felt put together I scuffled into my parents' bedroom to show my mom. She was quite the veteran when it came to high heels. Her closet was full of sky high pumps, four inch sandals, platformed flip flops. After watching me stumble into the room she gave me a few tips on how walk; shoulders back, head up, don't step too long or too short, heel-toe-heel-toe. "You don't want to walk like a cow" she warned. High heels are made to make a woman look and feel sexy. In order to properly wear any pair we must feel confident in striding around on shoes that could easily cause our death. That contributes to the whole allure. My closet is now filling with shoes. I still cannot dare to brave the four inch madness my mother has mastered, but every time I put on my favorite pumps I remember her words of wisdom and advice and try my very best to not walk like a cow.

ADSR2 Week 3 Challenge 5
for her one day when I was over babysitting at her home. She was
-and is- an intolerant, impatient, horrible person whom I have never
gotten along with. Never liked her. When spying the way in which I
was decapitating the apples with a paring knife, she started screaming and came
at me in a menacing manner, shouting vulgar profanities in a manner of one
deranged. I ducked and threw my arm up in anticipation of her slapping me,
but she only ripped the knife and the apple out of my hands, continuing
her rant that I did not know how to carve an apple and should not be
trusted with a knife. This is only one incident of the horrible
things she did to me while I was growing.
From that point in my life, I was frightened to learn how
to cook or bake. Even though I sat in the kitchen at the
counter trying to absorb, I never wanted to jump in with both
feet to do what my mother did while she was concocting her
delicious meals.
So I sat on the sidelines, just watching. Watching.
Until one day when my husband and myself made friends with
a wonderful couple at my church in Denver, Colorado.
Mickey & Dorothy (Dot) were the accepting, loving parents
that I never knew. Non-judgmental. Loving. Oh. Yeah.
I already mentioned that.
Dorothy loved to cook. She made great ab-fab grilled
cheese sandwiches during bible study. She invited me over
one day to learn how to cook old-fashioned hand-made
from scratch apple pies! So when it came to peeling apples,
I balked. Stopped. Full brakes.
Within my inner psyche-lived a little girl who was so frightened
of this procedure that even though she had eagerly agreed
to this cooking adventure to spend time with this wonderful
woman, she had totally forgotten that this would include
Peeling Apples. (with capital letters).
I halting and stutteringly explained to Dot that I was
never good at peeling apples, suggesting maybe she should
do the apples. But Dot brushed aside my worried, proceeding
to calmly allay my fears, working patiently with me to
peel an apple with the paring knife.
Dot shared her love with me; her patient calmness; her love
for cooking & baking; her general well-being; her acceptance
of what others could accomplish - to overcome what were
otherwise up 'til then - barriers.
Mickey was the same. Calm. Caring. Loving. Accepting. Eager
to impart his knowledge, but only if it was desired. These
people never forced, never raised their voices.
As I have aged, I have grown mellow. In my attitudes, in my
thinking, in my enjoyment of life. I have attempted to convey
this to others, even though it has been very difficult
sometimes.
The only reason that I can think that I remember this so
well I believe is the fact that one instance was so negative
and the other was so very positive - - Polar opposites of the
same exact event. Could I have become another Julia child, emeril,
Rachel Ray or Alton brown? Maybe...Maybe not. We will never know.
We will never know because that first, spontaneous thirst for
knowledge for the culinary arts was cruelly stamped out.
I can only hope that I can positively affect someone’s life as in
Dorothy’s case. And keep from negatively influencing young people as
in the case of my sister.
