[PollyannaMom]

(originally 3/23-4/10)

Hi All. Time for a new Layout Challenge! We didn't get a lot of entries last time, so I've set this one up for a couple of days longer, in the hope that more people can get pages in.

Requirements:
oval photos, and the color green
(so I can at least pretend it's spring. - We had snow here today!)

Here is my sample:

It's from blueberry picking - one of our favorite summer activities.

I am going to an all day crop tomorrow. I will try this. I need to spice things up a bit, and I'm working on Christmas stuff so I can easiy work in some green.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Bumping - any more takers??

Hi PollyannaMom,

I'm new to the boards and came across your thread... I actually did a layout and now all I have to do is figure out how to upload. I haven't done an oval photo for ages and had to go hunting for the oval frames to cut the shape... Anyway, I hope I can upload soon for you.

Hi PollyannaMom,

Well the photo is taken, cropped and saved but it keeps telling me "You may not post attachments". I am very unfamiliar with forums so I have no idea what I am doing wrong...

you have to have more posts before you can post a picture --- just start commenting on peoples post -- you will make it there in no time

Glad you're joining in! I think logan&tylersmama is correct that you need a few posts, but they do add up fast. I'm not sure how to attach pictures directly; I upload them to Photo Bucket first and then just click on the image code (the bottom one) and copy it.

are there any takers???

I'm hoping to get some scrapping done this weekend. I'll see what I can do. Forgot all about the challenge.

I'm sure I know the answer but does it have to be OVAL? can we use circles LOL

Ovals are so hard for me, not very manly for my son's pages LOL

Circles would be close enough!

So, we've hit the "deadline", but we have no entries. Does anyone who has run this before know what we are supposed to do now?

Hi Pollyanna Mom..

I did try for you But I haven't replied/posted enough comments for me to post. I wonder what the "magic" number is that will allow you to post pictures on the thread?

As for "what are we supposed to do now"... Did you want to pick another colour scheme? Maybe the oval shape was a bit hard... I know I had to go hunting for my oval cutters as I never use them any more. We could scrap our favourite Disney photo and write on a journal tag why this is our favourite photo.

Try again and see what happens...

I am experimenting on how I can post images... I added the photo to my windows live gallery so I hope it works...

 

[AussiePossum]

I tried a different way for my second attempt but it didn't work... Oh well I hope the first attempt works. Let me know how it went...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

You may extend the deadline if you would like...
I was in the midst of a swap that I need to complete otherwise I would have joined...
Ovals are out of my element...so I may try it over the weekend between soccer games..(if you extend the time frame)..

 

[PollyannaMom]

AussiePossum - I was not able to see your picture. Please keep trying!

PrincessNancy - If you would like more time, you've got it:

I'll extend the deadline (for anyone who still wants to get in) until Tuseday the 19th. If we don't have anything by then, AussiePossum will be declared the winner by default and she can start a new challenge (because I do believe you did the page, even though you can't share it yet!)
