April 3rd - Background Work

Post by Jan Mosier »

Image

In the Beginning....

It is a dark and stormy night. After a long drive you finally approach the front door of the Hill House Manor. You ring the doorbell and a rather large kinda creepy man answers. “Welcome to the Hill House” he mutters “they are waiting for you.” The butler leads you to the lounge where Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard & Mrs. Peacock are sitting nervously. You look around and Professor Plum pipes up. “Someone killed Mr. Boddy our host”. You begin to look at everyone in the room; it is your job to find out who killed Mr. Boddy, where he was killed and with what weapon.

Most of you have played the clue board game before. This game works a lot like that, BUT in order for you to receive clues you will need to complete the challenges posted four (4) times weekly. Not all days have been assigned clues, and some days have two....so you'll need to do as many as you can in order to get those clues. Each evening I will check the challenges completed and all you have to do is sit back and wait for your clue to be pm’d to you.

The more challenges you complete the more clues you receive. The first person to solve the crime wins. In case of a tie we will draw for a winner. Each person will get only one chance to guess so make sure you have collected all your clues.

Good Luck Detective!

Remember .... there are a total of 17 challenges / possible clues to help you solve the murder mystery, but no one (except Tammy) knows which challenges will "give you a clue". So, the more challenges you complete, the more chances you have of getting clues and solving the mystery.

So .... start scrapping, start sleuthing, and good luck to all!

There's been a murder. Who could have done it? Was it Mrs. White.....or could it have been Mr. Green? Lets run a background check on all the suspects to see if we can find a clue.

For today's challenge, get out your inks, crayons, watercolors, stencils and/or stamps to create a background for your layout. If you don't have any mixed media supplies you can create a background with patterned papers, but the background MUST be completely covered and you must use 10 or more different patterns.
Also include a heart and some type of string, thread, twine or ribbon on your layout.

Here's my layout.

I pulled out my Vicki Boutin crayons for this one. I'm forcing myself to use my old supplies more.
