Challenge 5

Boy that came around so fast. Thank you Chris for posting my challenge 4 layout - I absolutely love your "Wicked" layout and am going on a hunt for that book.

Those wonderful footprints are fantastic. Can see all sorts of uses for those.

I have posted my challenge 5 so here is the layout:




















I am loving how these challenges are making me stretch my creative muscle. Not loving the journalling so much but am getting there.

I had forgotten to post my challenge 3 (Opps) so here's that one as well:

Challenge 4

It's taken me absolutely ages, but I'm finally finished Challenge 4! But first let's have a look at Mag's because this is absolutely stunning, and way better than my little effort!!! Click on the picture for credits and journalling in the gallery...and leave some love!


And now here's mine...no don't laugh! This was the best I could come up with, and it took me way longer than it should have because I'm never really sure what I should be doing for altered and artsy! Again, click the picture for credits and journalling:


I've just uploaded it and nipped into the forums quickly, and arrrgh! It's taken me so long to get this finished that Challenge 5 is up already....time to fire up Photoshop again!!!!

Challenge 3

Finally, seems like we've waited ages for Challenge 3 lol! Actually, this was kinda tough for me as I still like the original, but I like the re-worked version too...so I'm happy!


Click the pic for credits etc in the main gallery.
Mag - you beat me to posting at NDISB but I beat you to the blog lol! Love both of your layouts, the original and the challenge version...they're strikingly different but equally beautiful!!!

A little freebie as we wait for Challenge 3!

Firstly huge thanks & hugz Mag for getting us all uploaded and posted at NDISB...which then left me wondering what to do until Challenge 3 was posted...so here's what I came up with:

Yep, I was so enamoured of my little acrylic footprints in our Challenge 2 layout, that I decided to make some more and share them lol! These were created with Karen Stimson's very cool Acrylic Layer Styles. As anyone who knows me knows, I am a huge fan of Karen's work...and if you're curious to see why, just click on the Woolsweater Street blinkie on the right >>>

And if you'd like to snag the footprints, just click on the preview...that's all from me for now, roll on Challenge 3!

Challenge 2

Well it has taken us a couple of days to do the second challenge by Elemental Scraps. - A layout on Cabin Fever.

We chose a designer that we both had the same kit for - Krista Ringham. We used her Moody Blues kit mostly. Here is the end result




















Challenge 1

Chris what a wonderful first layout you did. It is fantastic. Love everything about it.

Challenge 1 - Siblings

Yay!!!! Wonderful first page Mag...it's so intricately woven I keep seeing new little details in it - all I can say is I've still got a lot to learn!

So here's my first, I've kept it simple just to be sure I could get it finished and uploaded before we lost power again...hope you like it.

The Race has started - first up is Hummie's World's challenge to create a page using a torn/ripped photo (into at least three pieces) and add journalling - yes that dreaded word "JOURNALLING"!

We won't talk about why I felt I had to finish the challenge in one sitting, or the fact that I then fiddled with it for I don't know know long but I have finally posted mine to NDISB.
