Can't Stop!!

     I decided to do a layout for a designer no one else had signed up for AND it satisfies another challenge day.

2 more challenges!!

     I spent the whole beautiful, sunshiny day sitting on the couch scrapping two pages.  It think I need to stop for the rest of the month.
     The second layout took the longest time because each tag was a psd file and there were a LOT of parts to it.  It was originally going to be a layout about Ewan and me, but I came across this picture of Brian and myself and decided it was time to do a layout about us.

Frustrated by Blogger

     I don't know how to edit blogger so that when the credits are offset to the left I can get them centered on the page.  I find this pretty frustrating.

JSJC Day 23

     Here is another LARGE photo challenge.

JSJC Day 19

  Here's another layout.  The challenge layout had an awesome large black and white photo with texture in the white space.  I couldn't seem to get the texture, but I LOVE the large photo.  I gave it 3 different filters on RadLab.  Just love it....
     I changed many things on the few items I used.  I had to alter the placement on the date bit and blend two numbers to make the year.  I also recolored the acrylic shapes from white to beige.  The lettering was left as is.

Day 13 of the Challenge

     The pockets in the original layout were something I was excited to work with.  The large photo has a lot of distractions in it, but I wanted to tell the story of the peek-a-boo game Vivi and Ewan in the kitchen.  I used three small photos instead of just two like the original.

JSJC - Day 15

     This challenge called for a wide photo with mostly monochromatic colors.  I decided the photo had a fabulous coloring so I went with them for the color palette.  Alexis seems so lost in thought.
I love the layout!

JSJC Day 12

    I wanted to do this layout with Vivi in some sunglasses but I couldn't locate those pictures.  I came across this trip to Food Town and lo and behold -- she had on sunglasses! 
     I have had this kit for the longest time and it is so sweet, I thought it would be a good fit.

CT Layout for Gennifer Bursett

     I did a layout for Gen with her Miss Molly papers, but later she posted some elements.  She is not my assigned designer and several others had signed up to use her new kit.  I didn't want to just have her papers, so I decided to join the bandwagon and do another Miss Molly layout.

Silly Ewan

   JSJC Day 11.  I had a really hard time picking the papers for this layout.  I liked the original layout's choices so much but I didn't have that kit, so found some alternatives and did a LOT of recoloring.

Brian at Christmas

     With the blackout with Blogger for a few days, I can't quite remember the order of the layouts I've created so these may not be in the order of creation.  I just hope I can remember them all.
     This one was a JSJC layout Jan.8.  I made this layout first using a flower and the banner enlarged.  In bed that night I wondered what the layout would look like with a smaller banner that was extended.  I really liked the hearts that the original, inspiration layout had, so I added those too.

Boy, Blogger and IE are a pain!

     I have had a great deal of trouble posting layouts on my blog.  I went to the blogger help forum and got some info about the compatibility view settings.  I added blogger.com and it wouldn't work so I remove it and that has cleared the problem.  Hope all will be smooth from now on.

JSJC Day 3

    I have been making the last few layouts about Vivian so I felt it was time to scrap about Ewan.  Here is my take on the third day of the challenge:

Two CT layouts....

     There were two designers who had products go live today, but no one had signed up for them so I spent the afternoon doing two more layouts.  I think they turned out nicely.

Jump Start January Challenge--Jan. 1 & Jan. 2

     There's a new challenge going on at Pixels and Co.  It is intended to be an inspiration for your own layouts, but I'm pretty much copying the layouts with my own pix and supplies.  Kind of like using a template.  Here are my first two.

Second designer layout....

     My designer has submitted all her January Dollar Days kits and I used 4 of the 5 on my first layout.  I still needed to do a layout, so I chose the T for Trouble paper and elements again to make the second layout.  I decided to make it really different from the first one so it should work for my commitment, I hope.  If she produces another kit, I'll do a third.

Christmas Day 2013

     After all my CT work, it was fun to do a layout just for me.  I picked up this Anna Aspnes kit just for this photo.  I wanted a blended, artsy layout of Greg and Alexis.  Its a monochromatic theme.

CT Layout #3

     I need to do 2 layouts for my assigned designer and 2 layouts for other designers.  I snagged a kit today by Mommyish and scrapped it the same day.  I have quite a few kits by Mommyish so it was fun to use something new from her.  It is a New Years kit so I used the same photo that I used on the Kim B. layout.  I think the layouts are so different it won't matter.
     So far I have met my requirement to scrap for 2 additional designers.  I only need to do one more for Kim B.  I've been active in the forum and the gallery.  I figure I can use the week-ends to keep up my forum and gallery requirements.

Good-bye 2013

CT at Work

     I did another CT layout for Pixels & Co.   This one is featuring some flairs and charms about a weight lifting program.   I don't lift but I applied the less specific ones to a running layout.  The designer is going to include it when it is featured in the shop.

First official CT layout for P&C

   
 It's official I am a CT at Pixels and Company.  I had thought about declining, but Alexis said "Congratulations, Mom" and I thought "Why not go for it?". 
     I have my assigned designer;  Kim Broedelet aka KimB Designs.  I only had one kit by her so her style and kits are new to me. 
     I had a little trouble getting my legs under me to assign my name to her kits on the website, but Sarah Hemmert has been so helpful.  I had to start an "account" at Photobucket so the layouts would be someplace the designer could snag them.  That was a little bit of a challenge, but I did it.  I was on cloud nine to accomplish that hurdle. 
     Here's my first layout.  The alpha and the date stamp are the main focus of this layout.  No other CT claimed them and I felt proud that I could make them the star of the layout (besides the FUN photo, of course).

Happy New Year!
