A little behind...

Crazy how this week's just put me a little behind-and I didn't even have a husband or son around to blame! Well, here's my #4 and #5 challenges:

It's been a good week!

Challenge #6

Challenge #6 was a roadblock - meaning only one person had to do the challenge. Since Shelby did the last one like that, it makes it my turn. I was to choose a layout from Shelby's gallery, flip it horizontal or vertical, then rotate it 45 degrees and then use it as inspiration for the layout. I also could only use the same number of items that she did.

Here is the layout that I chose to use:


By my count, Shelby had 5 papers, 2 elements, 1 photo and 2 lines of text. Here is what her layout looked like after I rotated it, etc.


And here is my layout about Lucille riding an ant at the zoo. I used 5 papers, 2 elements (tape and a staple), 1 photo and 2 lines of text, same as Shelby!

Lorraine's Challenge #5

First let me say that Shelby did indeed do Challenge #4, but she is on vacation. I am sure she will post her beautiful page for you all to see when she is less stressed! Anyway, here is my layout for challenge #5. The challenge was to create a layout that had at least 3 frames and no photos.

Lorraine's Challenge #3

Here's my new layout:


which is a redo of this layout:


This one was hard for me. We had to keep all of the journaling and photos and I had a lot of each. Add to that my red kitchen walls and Camille's orange bib and it was hard to choose a color palette for scrapping. I ended up spending a lot of time editing my photos and the background is all black - which is an evolution: First I just cleaned the photo off the wall, which I did originally, then I decided to make the walls all red, getting rid of the doors on both sides of Camille, and then when I couldn't find colors I liked I turned the walls black. The journaling also moved around a lot before it ended up where it is. Additionally, I extracted Camille's hand to stick out of the 3rd photo and I recolored some of the buttons.

I think I like the new layout - at least I like it more each time I look at it. You can click on either layout if you want to see the credits for that layout.

Shelby's Challenge #3

Here's how I re-scrapped my first uploaded image:

I kept a similar color scheme, just updated the feel and took advantage of extracting the images-something I've come to LOVE since I first started digi-scrapping.

For the makeover I used Mango Tango-a collab kit from the Sunshine Girls. Font is DejaVu Serif and alpha is It's my Party by Jennifer Elkins.

and now to challenge #3!

This is my first uploaded LO, it should be interesting what I come up with!
