Happy Thursday!

I have only one niece, and I love taking photos of this little girl. She's very photogenic like all little girls, but she is also sweet and funny and incrediably loveable. I got this photo of her when I was taking photos earlier this summer. The back lighting was fantastic and the picture begged to be in black and white.

I added a little mist to the backround. Punched out some butterflies. I had some sequins kicking around for ages and ages, and they were perfect.



Did you notice the dandelion stamp that was embossed in the lower left corner of the layout?


A better look at the spray mist and butterflies. Just makes me happy when a layout comes together so well. :)
Enjoy the rest of your day!

A year of challenges...

You've seen me do a layout similar to this before, and I liked it so much, I've decided I'm going to do it every month. In fact, it was the basis of my last challenge for you (no patterned paper) And I'm challenging you to try it too.

I wish I could say these questions are mine, but they're not. I found them on the web, and when I find the source, I shall link you up.Regardless, this is your challenge, to do a layout of your "currents". They are: eating. wearing. thinking. weather. wanting. drinking. listening. enjoying. wondering. needing. feeling.

Nothing earth shattering, but I like how I had to stop and think about what was current for me at this moment.

Feel free to have fun with this. I really played up my background and used few embellishements, because I wanted the journalling to stand out. I'm hoping you can double click on it to see it bigger if needed.
Have fun, see ya again soon!

So seeing as i am talking lots about beautiful colors & days ahead, my challenge to you all is to try & take at least 10 pictures a week of color, things outside, or of things that make you happy.

Sumbit a layout (2 pages) here to the store by November 5th, using pictures from your challenge. Pictures must be current, they must capture color, title, journalling must be done in order to be accepted. I am also going to challenge you to turn at least one picture on your layout to black & white, and you must use at least 10 photos... remember there are some great ways to print smaller pictures.
Now to enter, there will be a $5 entry fee... all money will be given to the winner in form of a gift certificate, for every entry we receive, we will donate another $5, in gift certificate or product, and it will be split between 1st (60% of the collections) & 2nd place (40% of the collections). All entries will remain anonymous, we would like for our customers to vote, (will be done on a point system... 5 questions, with each question awarding so many points... (will explain better come closer too) but in case of a tie our design team will make the final decision.
Pass this along to anyone you know who needs a little challenge & something different to do!
Lets have some fun... and I challenge our design team to do a layout for the above too...(sorry you guys are not entered into the draw)
