I Love Challenges

I love challenges and try to do as many as I can.  Today I finished up on a challenge I started yesterday.  As I lay in bed I realized I could make it better by replacing a pattered paper with a large photo.  I get a great template from Scrapping with Liz as my prize.

I've used some of these photos before but they are so fun.  This BYOC kit from Etc by Danyale seemed too girly for photos about Ewan.

Scrapping with Liz | Moc4 Template Freebie

This was the first attempt at the challenge using a pattered paper instead of the large photo.

I also did another of the Lilypad's monthly challenges.  It is the template challenge.  I like those because you get a head start on the design.  I used a kit I bought on sale during the National Scrapbooking Day sale.  The background paper was the starting point for me.  The orange in it made me think of Ewan.  I chose these two photos because I've had them forever, but haven't used them.  I think together they tell a little story about Ewan's birthday.

March AJ Challenge - Week 1

Dalis had a photograph as the inspiration for this week's AJ challenge.  I looked for a nursery rhyme character but the lined drawing of a mother reading by Lynn Grieveson Designs sparked my inspiration of reading Mother Goose to my own children and my kindergartners.  I played around with the blend mode and came up with the color palette.

Amy Wolff's "Messy Marvin" MARCH Challenge

It's a day late but I finally have all the details and have the poster ready for Amy's MARCH challenge.  This challenge is not tied to any other challenge but it does have the dollar amount prizes to Amy's shop.  It will be interesting to see how many will play this month.

Amy's newest challenge is to make a layout that includes something from her shop that has the word "Messy" in the name of the kit. Find all the details in the Announcement Pad in the TLP Forum.
