Chinese Whisper Circle Journal "First Reveal"

In July 2016 a new Chinese Whisper Circle Journal began

on the UK Scrappers website

with Alison as host.

14 very keen scrappers quickly signed up for what was supposed to be a 6 month CJ swap.

A Chinese Whisper CJ works differently to the usual type of CJ.

This is how UKS moderator Kitty describes the process:

 

MONTH ONE:
1. Pick a LO you like. ** Must be a LO and NOT a sketch **
2. Scraplift it.
3. Email scraplifted LO to cj partner on last Sunday of month

MONTH 2 and subsequent months:
1. Scraplift LO received from cj partner.
2. Email your new scraplifted LO to your partner on last Sunday of month

NOTES
All LO’s are passed on via email and the BONUS is that you get to keep the LO for yourself.
At the end we will have a grand reveal of all the LO's and you can see how the design has changed over the time !!

However, after the 6 months had flown by it was obvious

 that we were all having such a good time that we just didn't want the swap to end.

But..... we really, really wanted to see how the Chinese Whisper pages had developed and so

Alison and I devised a way to share all of the LO's created so far by showcasing them here on my blog.

Here we go.....................

 

This is the LO that Alison chose to scraplift

Sheila sent to Karen

 who sent to Fran

Fran sent to Elaine

and finally Elaine sent this one to

Tracey!



 



I think you'll agree that the original LO has changed quite a bit since the CJ started, can you spot any similarities between the first and last pages?

Comments please!

take 3 boys

Here's the first LO done with my "Early Morning" CKCB forged kit of the month for the weekly challenge at UK Scrappers.

The brick wall background paper is the Maggie Holmes "Aperature" for cratepaper, I like the way it repeats the pattern of the brick walls behind the boys in the photo.
Even though it's in black & white I just bet those walls were red brick!
Did you spot the cricket wicket painted on the back wall beneath the window?

The journaling cards are from 4heures37, the CLIC CLAC frame is from Toga, die cut words & shapes from Fancy Pants stash, there's a Jenny Bowlin note on there, too..
When I showed the LO to the Senior Partner he finally remembered the names of both boys. Keith  is sitting on the left and John is on the right. I'll have to go back and write their names on before I forget!
