The Blog

Happy Friday! It’s that time of the week when we honor some of the coolest, hottest, smartest, funniest, awesome, rad Scrapblogs created. Every week it gets harder and harder to only choose five. This week was a tad easier because we decided to choose from the community challenge 04 - Scrap Your Favorite Beverage.

In the spirit of the Olympics, we are going to award a Gold, Silver & Bronze medal to the top three Scrapblogs for this challenge. First, however, we have 2 honorable mentions. I have to say that this was the most difficult challenge to judge because there were just so many that were so DARN GOOD! To let you know how the judging process works. Your community leader, Little_m creates a scrapblog called “VoteXX”, in this case Vote04. The community then votes. Based on those votes, the Scrapblog team casts their vote on the top 3 or 4. We tally the scores together and that’s how the winner is chosen. So let’s get to it!

Stella created by nbarnich from Spain was certainly a top contender in our books. How can a Scrapblog about beer not get at least a mention? Excellent work as always nbarnich!

The second “honorable mention” goes to Lemonade, my favourite drink by Shelley77. Her pages just SCREAM summer. The pictures and the layouts are perfection. Great job!

So, now to the medals! The Bronze medal goes to Hot Chocolate by Roseanne-x. This wonderfully yummy and cozy scrapblog is highlighted in beautiful brown and blue colors. We also loved her use of stickers.

In second place, earning the Silver, is Mommy Victory’s Killer Sweet Tea. A true southern favorite, Mommy Victory shows off her passion for this refreshing beverage. She has a knack for using the photo cropping tool to create the perfect page.

Choosing a number one, Gold medal Scrapblog was just too much and we have a tie for the top spot this week. Arizona Pomegranate Green Tea by letti and The Milkshake by Little_m win this challenge. Both are totally gold-worthy scrapblogs. The details that letti used to share her favorite beverage made me want to run out and try it. Little_m’s retro feeling milkshake scrapblog is inspiring, the colors and the stickers she uses on her pages transports you to a 1950’s malt-shop. Excellent, excellent work!

So that’s your Friday Five (well, six really) this week. Have a GREAT weekend and don’t forget to create your Scrapblogs for Challenge05 - Scrap Your Favorite Dessert and for the Olympic Challenge. Be sure to check out all the Scrapblogs created for this challenge - they are all AWESOME!
