BYOC Challenge at TLP

I used mostly things from BYO for this.  Technically, I was supposed to use 90% BYOC.  And the extra I used were so minor, I hope it qualifies.

Pixels & Co. Subscription kit for February 2015

I've been dying to use a Two Tiny Turtles template which uses a BUNCH of elements.  The February P&C kit is perfect because it is loaded with elements.  It has a very valentines feels to it.
I used something from every designer.  I have 4 stylets on the photo and I blended the b/w photo with a straight out of the camera color photo.

TLP February Template Challenge

One Little Bird furnished the free template for the challenge.  I went with an arty layout.  The title "free as a bird" works on a couple of levels.  The photo shows Ewan spreading his arms like he's flying and he was free from school as it had just let out for the summer only a few days earlier.

February Product Challenge at TLP

I made the layout as a Bible Art Journal page on my BSF lesson last week: Numbers Chapters 1-10.  Turned out that I used a painted element in it as well as some painted stamped circles and a font that gave it the look of a painted, stamped title.  So I could use it in the product (paint) challenge.  Neat!

Numbers: Chpts. 1-10
Another Bible AJ page from my BSF class.  
For the Feb. product challenge- paint, I used a painted element from CD Muckosky and painted circles by Just Jaimee.

A new kind of challenge at TLP.

There is a new challenge called the Pocket Scrapping Art Journaling Challenges.  There is a gift certificate for doing 2 of the challenges during the month.  That's real money, so I thought I would give it a try.  I won't print them out in paper, but I will add them to my Pinterest board and this blog.
This one is support to have journaling about something good.  I picked family.

New month, new challenges at The Lilypad

It is back to normal, doing the monthly challenges at The Lilypad.  My guest spot at the Pad is next month and I'm in waiting mode to see if I got the permanent Pollywog job due to MOC.  I looked through the layouts and there is STIFF competition for sure.

First challenge I completed was for the Scraplift Challenge.  Christina's gallery had a lot of great choices.  I was particularly drawn to the photo treatments in this layout by her.  The ruffled laces also attracted me.  


To lift her layout, I needed a panoramic shot with a close up of a subject.  Hmmm, that was hard to find in my collection of photos.  I found two photos at the duck pond I figured would work, but there would be no ruffles (used a flat, crocheted lace instead) with it.  Bummer.  Here is my take on her layout:
