Well, the race is over. We didn't win all of the grand prizes but we sure had fun! I got to meet a new friend, scrap outside of my comfort zone and get lots of great goodies along the way. I cannot wait until next season!

Final Challenge!
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.
Okay, this layout was the most difficult by far for me! Not because I couldn't find one of Jamie's great LO's to scraplift, but because I had to go through 3 computers, 1 EHD, way too many hours to count and at least 6 hours working on an internet connection to get this bad boy done!!! I just couldn't let my partner down! I had finished my layout on Thursday night, saved it to my EHD and went to bed. I had been having difficulty with my internet connection on my laptop and was transferring everything to the desktop to be uploaded to the internet. When I woke up, there was NO INTERNET!!! My laptop had to be sent off to be fixed, won't be back for 2-3 weeks, I left my disk in the drive, didn't get everything I needed backed up, found out that they will wipe out my harddrive, ugh, and cannot find another computer within my family that has enough power to run PSE!!!!!! Can you say CRAP!!! I have even tried those rental places, I would gladly rent a computer from them for a month, but they all want a 3 month contract! Lord help me! So, I finally got my old dinosaur desktop to work, took over an hour and a half to do this very simple LO and here it is! I of course had to use some kits on a disc I found! LOL, it can only get better!

Challenge #9
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!

Challenge #8
Your Challenge: Each participant needs to create a layout using the theme “Girl Talk.” Some ideas of how to use the theme: Show us the person you are most likely to “girl talk” with… what is most often the topic of discussion in your “girl talk”? what about when you were a teen? what was the girl talk then? what is it now? how’s it changed? Just about anything goes as long as you incorporate the theme in some way.

Challenge #7
The Challenge:
For this challenge each of you will be creating a multi-photo layout. And not just 2 or 3 photos - you must use a minimum of TEN PHOTOS on your layout!!!!
Now there's a twist so pay close attention...
You will choose your background paper(s), photos and title and will arrange them the way that you want them. THEN you and your partner will TRADE your layouts and your partner will be responsible to embellish your layout for you! On a sidenote, I'm not sure what the official policy is on trading layouts, but it is very important that we not go anywhere near file sharing. If your partner owns the same products you used for your background paper and/or title, then you may share your .psd file. If they do not own the same products, then you must send a flattened .jpg. I hope this isn't too confusing!
