MOC4 Day 28 - Style/2 Page Layout

This challenge required a double layout.  I don't usually scrap this way since I print only 12x12 pages.  I had to hunt through all my old Jessica Sprague class notes for the way to cut the double into two 12x12 pages.

MOC4 - Day 27 - Technique / Cut-Out Challenge

This challenge entailed making a digital page look like a traditional paper page with some cut-outs on the page.  By having different papers underneath the cut-outs you get more texture and visual interest.  I planned to make this technique prominent on my layout, but Vivian's mixed media painting in the photo dictated otherwise.  The song sprang into my head immediately so that became the title and the page turned more into a journaling challenge.  Oh well....  I love it nonetheless.

Combine 2 Templates MOC4 Challenge at The Lilypad

This was a bit of a challenge since the two templates were fabulous stand-alone templates in their own right.  There was a lot in each one too to try to cram into one layout.  I ended up using Scrapping with Liz's template as the base, flipping it 90 degrees.  I used Lynn's photos, masks and title as some replacements on Liz's template.  I love the way it turned out.  There is a lot of white space so it doesn't seem crowded.

Here are the two templates:

MOC4 - Day24 - Inspiration/Redo Challenge

This challenge called for redoing an older layout for the inspiration.  It was required to reuse the predominant photo from the original layout.  I chose a layout I did for a challenge at Jessica Sprague's site YEARS ago.  I never did publish on the web this photo with the colored tulips, so in a way it is an all new layout.

Original layout from Jessica's:

MOC4 - Day 22 - Inspiration/Ad Challenge

This challenge required us to take inspiration from a great ad with strong images and geometric shapes.  Here is the inspiration piece.

I was drawn to the eye and the triangles.  I looked through all my people images and found this one by Nancie Rowe Janitz.  I just used more of her products to complete the layout.  I drew the triangles with the Pen tool and filled them like I always do to make my photo masks.

Four of my designers have new releases today at The Lilypad.  Gina Miller has been quiet for two months, so it was good to see a new set of journaling cards in the store.  I used a very blockish design to showcase the cards on this first layout.

Amy Wolff released her three kits that are part of her monthly Wolff Pack.  The Messy Marvins were really messy this time.  I ended up making a messy looking layout to showcase them.  The scribble drawing looks so much like a child's artwork I used one of Vivi's photos of when she did scribble art (little kiddo art).

Blog Challenge at Etc by Danyale | Blended Backgrounds

I offered a technique for blending a journal card into a background paper and a background paper into the white space of an oversized photo on Danyale's blog.  I used a photo of Rachel taken at Christmas because it had a large white space area and she wearing a great smile.

Since Danyale hosted this challenge, I used her latest kit in the store.  The challenge needed to have elements that touched all the sides.  I used a freebie template from Fiddle-Dee-Dee to make this easier on myself.  I think I did a good job of having full, clustery corners but a lot of white space, too.

MOC4 Day 20 - Journaling / Number Challenge

This layout needed to have a significant number in my life.  I was reading the notes to my BSF lesson in Revelation and realized I wanted to give my testimony through my number.  The design of the page is secondary to the journaling.

The Three Way Series about using overlays was really good.  I used the gradient way since I'm not very competent with that tool.  It was fun to scrap my creating spot.

MOC 16 - Technique Challenge - Clipping a photo to a Mask

Wendy P had a technique challenge.  It was a technique I've used before.  Once I saw the photos I wanted to do and a two tone paint, the layout nearly fell into place.  I had to put a layer mask on the photo to erase part of it to exposed the darker blue paint and I duplicated the paint and created a selection of the lighter color and deleted it.   I also had to put a layer mask on the scribble to erase parts under the paint.  Fun, easy and I love the result.

SOSN at The Lilypad with 50% off On Selected Kits.

Almost all my designers have kits in the SOSN today.  Etc by Danyale, Lynn Grieveson have NEW kits in the shop.  Mirjam of Pink Reptile Designs, Amy Wolff, and Kim Jensen have older kits on sale for 50% off.  I LOVE this sale because I've built up most of my digi stash with this 50% off sale.

Here is the line-up of my layouts for each designer;

Amy Wolff:
At first I struggled with a design for this page.  I started with large, center squares but I felt it just didn't look interesting enough considering how spectacular the colors and designs are in this bundle.  I layered template by Sahlin Studio really helped get my mojo going.
