Race Update

Top 50's Amazing Race is continuing apace. Here's a little race rundown.

Detour 2 - Following your trip to Antarctica, you travel to a mystery foreign country and you don't know the language! Scrap a layout or a 3 card set with a foreign word in the title or subtitle to get you back in the race.

I chose to use a couple of photos from my Hong Kong trip and used Pang Uk as the title. When translated from Chinese it literally means shack house but is also used to describe these stilt houses which are found in the fishing village of Tai O.

As well as some old paper scraps and embellies from my stash, I used some handmade goodies from The Greatest View, D-lish Scraps and A Lil Somethin. 

After successfully negotiating the detour I headed to Canada for Stop 4. The criteria:  Include a Large photo (bigger than 4x6), Use Leaves on your LO and, Incorporate movement down the page.

My photo was a 6x8 that I cropped slightly, I added a Little Bit of fANTsy leaf and for the downward movement I used the paper strips, arrows and strips of washi as well as the texture paste spots. The orange flower is one of Lime Tree Creations latest releases.

Stop 5 took us to Europe and I landed in France.
The criteria:
1. Love themed layout to represent the city of love!2. At least one heart to represent the romantics at heart who flock to Paris3. At least one charm to aid of all the charming features of France

To meet the criteria I used the Macca's tagline for this LO of Zoe in her Macca's uniform, she loves her new job (or the cash it provides!), I added two Charm's Creations hearts and two flower charms from the race kit. I also added some other handmade products from Lovely Bugs Bits and Bobs, Rainbow Splendour, Lil Red Rocket and A Lil Somethin.

The white cardstock is embossed but it doesn't show up, so here's a close up :)

Next up is a roadblock but I'm yet to negotiate that.

Thanks for stopping by :)
