WINNER ANNOUNCED.. New Layout Challenge 11 September to 3 October

[AussiePossum]

Hi Everyone...

Are you ready for your next challenge? This is the first time that I'm submitting a "sketch" as the inspiration so I hope I do it correctly.

I thought that it would be great to do a theme on a group of photos. All of those photos that you really need to scrap all together to get an overall story/experience of the special event/day. The sort of photos that tend to sit in your photo boxes (or in this digital age - they sit on your hard drive) because they can't be used all by themselves on a layout.

For the first time I have a "sketch" for us to follow that I came across while looking for inspiration. I loved it the first time I saw it and I hope I can copy and paste it here if I acknowledge the source/link.

I originally came across the sketch while looking on Georgana Hall's web site at www.adornit.com but the sketch was done by guest designer Becky Flack.

So... As I said in my previous post to close up the other thread... In the land down under this Sunday morning the skies are a lovely blue and the sun is shining. A little on the cool side but it is a beautiful day... My DS8 is drumming along to Queen on the xbox thingie and I have my cappuccino. (Must have cappuccino's ) and I am about to put the finishing touches on to the next layout challenge.... (in between loads of washing)

Start looking through your stash guys and lets get creative.

Some other details.

Theme - What ever your heart wants. I went with Disney of course.
Colours/Embellishments/Papers - Any
Journelling/Text... At least a sentence.. I used little alphabet stickers for my journelling.

So there you go...

AP, Great Sketch!!!!! I love it!

I probably have Disney pics to do this layout with, I need to get sketches rounded up but this is definitely going into the pile.

I really should try this - my pages look alot alike
how would you do the second page for a 2 page LO using this?? I only do a one page LO at the start of the album or the last

 

[AussiePossum]

Hi Reddy...

On page 2, mirror image the sketch... Have the title on the left instead of the right hand side. Also, spread the title over the two pages is another idea.

I am attempting to print out some some tiny photos. Not entirely sure what I'm going to do with them as I sort of make things up as I go along. I sort of surprised myself with half finishing LO no2 last night.

Great sketch! I may have to give this one a go. TFS

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I'll try to get in on this one... got lots of my plate right now but I will work it into the schedule!!!

Hi Guys..

Here is my example for you... I really should be more organized and take the photos during the day instead of at night.. The lights have washed out the colours a little bit.

oh that turned out very cute - bigger pictures which I really like
I'm thinking printing out wallet size

Hi Reddy...

I have almost finished the second one.. A couple of the photos didn't print so well and I got a little distracted with decorating cupcakes (not good for the waistline since I'm trying to loose some pounds so my butt can fit in the plane seat)

I need to lose another 10 to 15 (then add 5 of muscle) myself. a cupcake is better than the whole cake
my best hint on losing is use smaller plates, eat slow & no seconds until after 10 minutes after you clean your plate - weight yourself daily, write it down so you can see that you are losing/or how bad you blew it the day before
I did do Aktins to lose 35 lbs (165 to 130) then did the HGC drops to reset my body wieght - this morning I was at 133

Hi Reddy..
I have heard of Atkins but not sure what HGC is and I wish I was 133 but it is a bit of a pipe dream for me .. I'll be happy with 175.

Last night's decorating...

Hi Everyone..

How are the layouts coming along for the challenge?

HGC (maybe I got the wrong letters) it start off as a shot that drs gave you - if you see the billboards where you lose 40 lbs in 40 days - that is it. then they came up with drops that you can get at a health food stores then you only get 500 calories a day & only certain things - you can't put on lotion while on this or touch anything fatty or you will collect it.

if you have a hard time with low calorie then try atkins (if you really like to eat meat over pasta then atkins is for you)

it is the execrise that I really need to get back into - that is what really makes me feel better.

OK back on subject - I got the paper all "glued" down then my printer acted up so no pictures until dad brings me his old one - so most of my scrapping is on hold again

Luckily this is about as far as he got before he was busted. It was all over him though and his hair, very fun to clean him off. Just a tiny bit on the carpet thank goodness.
