Challenge 52

The challenge this week comes to you from Mia and it is to use an oxymoron as your title.

Wikipedia definition:
An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or, more rarely, oxymora) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is a loanword from Greek oxy ("sharp" or "pointed") and moros ("dull"). Thus the word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron.
Oxymorons are a proper subset of the expressions called contradictions in terms. What distinguishes oxymorons from other paradoxes and contradictions is that they are used intentionally, for rhetorical effect, and the contradiction is only apparent, as the combination of terms provides a novel expression of some concept, such as "cruel to be kind" or "team of mavericks".

We are away this weekend so I will be posting the designers LO from MOnday morning, but just in case you wanted a head start and to get those brains ticking over ~ this gives you an idea of where we're gong this week.

Stefanie's challenge 51

This LO was done for little shop of sketches.

My favourite scrapping habit has to be multi-photo layouts on Basic grey paper, and lately handwritten journaling.

My worst story?? Making my daugter change her pink top when her first tooth fell out.
I knew it was imminent and had bought Karen Foster tooth fairy paper and embellishments which were lime green and navy, luckily she put on the lime green top she had and we were both happy.
Some people would call me controlling,
I see it as me being a scrapper with a keen eye for colour co-ordination!

Liza's challenge 51

Journaling:

Okay, I admit it! I am a compulsive scrap shopaholic. For years, I’ve accumulated a lot of stuff enough to fill a room. There’s the countless magazines, the non-stop patterned paper hoarding, the colorful flowers that I buy in bottles. Gosh! I can’t even remember the day I didn’t want any of these. I don’t think I’ll live without these stuffs in my possession. But then again, these photos are just the tip of the iceberg. So what do I do? I think it’s time I seek medical attention. Any psychologist willing to take on my case? Hmm, I hope she’s a scrapbooker too so she’ll know what I’m talking about. Oh come on! Tell me, don’t you just love the smell of these new papers, the feel of those flowers on your hands… Stop! Enough! I need therapy… uhm, shopping therapy?…

Helen's challenge 51

I live my life thru' my camera lens. I stalk my kids & pounce when least expected. You can find me peering thru' the window when they are in the pool & arriving with the ladder to capture an aerial view of their latest Lego creation. I have a lot of ammunition for when they are older - potty-training & skinny dipping could come back to haunt them at their 21sts! At times they complain that they are living their lives on Reality TV - that's when I pack away my camera for a few days & give everyone some down-time... Teenagers make reluctant subjects but Facebook has solved that problem. Suddenly it's cool to be photographed again - the more impromptu the better - just the way I like it - hee hee hee ...
