I was browsing through the gallery at Scrap Orchard today and between the “Bucket List” ADSR Challenge, the first round of March Madness and then just the generally fantastic scrappers we have, I was blown away and decided I needed to share these layouts with the world!!  So here are some of my picks for standouts this week!!  (um… this might be kind of long, so if you have to go potty or anything, you might want to go now!  bwahaha!)

Let’s start with the Bucket Lists!  All of these layouts are amazing and I love seeing the things people have on their lists!  And scrapping a list of at least 50 things is no easy feat!  I love some of the different ways that the racers constructed their layouts and interpreted the assignment:

I love that she made a bucket out of her list!!!

“Book”et List by Mimi

When I saw this, I thought it was brilliant and not something I probably would have thought of, but being an avid reader, I can totally appreciate it!

My Bucket List by Ddamsel

This layout is just stunning.  I love how all of her goals are funneling in to (or out of- heehee) the bucket.  And the last goal (scrap all of it) just made me smile!

ADSR 5 Challenge 7 by shayenne27

This layout immediately grabbed my attention.  The composition and use of color just yells “Look at me!”!!  I absolutely love it!

We’re having a little scrapping contest at SO and there are two brackets- the public bracket and the staff bracket.  The staff is able to play along in this challenge under their own anonymous user names.  This is so much fun!  Nobody knows who anyone else is and we’re all going head to head!  The best part is the public will actually vote on the staff layouts!!  This weeks challenge was to scrap the song that would play during the closing credits of a movie about your life.  There are already some pretty incredible layouts in both the staff and the public brackets!  My iPod hasn’t been updated so much since I bought it!  Here are just a few:

Sunny Side by SO501

You can’t look at this layout without busting in to a smile.  It’s so bright and cheerful!

Another one that brightened my day. Those little frogs on the clouds are just too cute and I love the simplicity of the title and journaling.

I am- Killing Heidi by SO505

Another one that reaches out and grabs you.  Everytime I look at this layout, I notice something different.  I could just look at it all day!

And of course, we have some pretty awesome everyday layouts!!  Here are some of my favorites:
