For this challenge you are going to make a new friend!! :!:
I will provide a theme for each challenge so that we have some idea to work with.
For the first challenge (August) the theme will be…
Your MOST favorite thing to do on a free afternoon.
I have tried to make step-by-step detailed guidelines to help you through this...it may seem like a lot, but you'll find it's a lot easier than you think once you give it a go! :smile:
Here is what you do:
Browse through the gallery and find a LO that you really, really like and note the name of the creator.
Send a personal message to the creator and tell her/him that you want to know her/his secret! In this message, briefly tell her/him which LO you chose and why you liked it. Ask if you can do a LO of her/him for the Pixel Pals challenge. (Now at this point, I am going to assume she/he says, "Sure! Great! Nice to meet you!" In fact, the other person can choose to "swap" for the challenge.)
After the person replies with an acceptance, ask that person to send you a photo (or even a couple photos is fine) that you can scrap that coordinates with the theme. Ask them to tell you about the photo…date, story, names, relationships, etc. This photo doesn’t even have to be of that person…it could be any photo they choose. (And, of course, let’s stay decent here.) The point is to learn something about each other through all of this.
After you have gathered all your information, scrap the LO and post it in the gallery. Be sure that the following information is either in the LO or in the description: who the photo belongs to, the original LO you chose and why you liked it. After you post your LO, PLEASE provide a link in the description of the original LO you chose. Also, post a reply here of the LO you chose AND the LO you created, if you would be so kind...
You may use this sample kit (Ring Around the Rosies Sample) if you would like...
