For my Halloween Group

Here is my question on this one: I do not have a large element. I do have many small button and brad things, and the center squre is a little tag like I guess. Have I met the requirements?

Details:
THe black paper is bling, the letters are glitter paper on the bling. The striped paper is by reminisce and is shiny. The center square of the right page is pop-dotted. The photos can slide under everything -- including the printed paper on the squares. I only have 4 of the spiders from the left page -- I'll have to use a ghost for the 5th set. The top layer of squares is 3 1/4 - -so fits a 3 inch photo.

Shauna -- I'll delete all but the layout page later so I don't clog up the thread. I just like to take the photos!

Sorry about the slight blur -- I haven't eaten (or showered!) today and I have had 2 cups of hot coffee and one large iced coffee -- it has caught up with me. I'm of to clean up my scrap stuff and shower in a bit!

(I know he is not reading this but my DH is the best! )

Again, this is a WONDERFUL layout! I really like the multiple small mats. I think you are fine on the embellishment requirement as several small equals one large. Besides, I think your striped center square and bat should count as a large anyway so you are fine.

Great job!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I like it like it is. you have a lot going on with the bling paper and the patterned paper so I think a large element would be too much.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I like it just the way it is.
It looks great!

 

[123SA]

Thanks!

(Update: I am now clean!)

 

[Michellepooh]

That looks really nice, 123SA! I think you have more than enough embellishments!

It's interesting that this Halloween lay out is 9 squares. pretty in tink has done a 9 square lay out for her Christmas group. I haven't seen it, but it sounds completely differently done as far as technique. I'm sure if anyone is in both groups, they will be pleased with both.

I hope so...my Christmas layout is squares too. It's over on the progress thread. I love to scrap with squares. I like the look of circles too, but I am not good at putting that kind of page together.

I like your Christmas pages too. I'm in that group.

It seems every magazine I've flipped through has more than one 9 square layout in it. And yet it doesn't look repetitious.

Wouldn't that make a cool swap? To take basic layouts/sketches and everyone work off of that. They would be the same and then so different at the same time.

 

[123SA]

Hey --- I like that idea!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think it would help us use what we make instead of collecting it.
Well, me anyway. I collect. Guess I could post an interest thread. And leave Shauna's alone. Sorry about going off topic Shauna.

ah, ok, Now I'm gonna go cower in a corner...This was my 9 square layout idea. The little snowmen all in a row are stamped/embossed. Snowflakes are stickled, and the larger snowman is paper pieced. With the size of the squares-I could not make a 3X4 journal space, so I've got 2 smaller ones. People can either use both, use just one, or whatever. There are 4 3X3 mats, also. Anyways...I thought it was pretty cute in person, but if you think it needs any changes, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just start making the other 4

 

[123SA]

Fabulous layout!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I love the little snow men.
Wish I was in that group.

Isn't it cool how a 9 square layout can be so different?

 

[Michellepooh]

That snowman layout is too cute!!! I love snowmen!!!!

The 9 square layout has become very popular. I had used that design for a Disney page class I recently taught at my LSS. I love how versatile it is!

That is absolutely gorgeous. I am sick that I didn't sign u for more groups or keep the original ones.

 

[TPCShauna]

That Winter layout is DARLING! Great job. I'm sad I'm not in that group also.

Ladies, I've been MIA because DH and I both have a stomach flu. His is worse than mine and I had to take him to the hospital on Saturday afternoon after he collapsed. They gave him a couple of bags of IV fluid as he was extremely dehydrated. He is doing a bit better but we are both still struggling. This is an especially difficult time because I am still having serious problems with my knee and can barely walk to take care of both of us.

I posted the 7/21 check-in request on the progress thread. If you've posted your prototypes, I checked you off.
