52 Pick Up... Challenges 43, 44 & 45...

52 Pick Up Challenge #45 by Tara...
Depth

I love layering things on pages to give a feeling of depth when it isn't really there...

Your Challenge is to create a layout with at least three layers using the following criteria...
1. overlapping photos
2. a photo going UNDER the patterned paper
3. an element on top of a photo (I love using double sided foam to accentuate this)

Click --> HERE for full details


52 Pick Up Challenge #44 by Deanne...
Color & Design Inspiration Challenge

For Mothers Day this year, I received a wonderful, gigantic, retro coffee mug from my girls

YOUR Challenge is to make a card, layout or OTP item with the following criteria:

~ It must be predominantly BLACK with one or 2 additional colours
~ It must include geometric shapes (eg circles, rectangles, squares, straight lines etc).

If you are making a card, the base card can be white, so long as the main colour is still predominantly black.

TIPS: ~ For ideas on creating 'geometric' or 'retro' style cards, try googling images with those words as the criteria for other ideas.
~ I used various sized punches to create the geometric shapes on my card. However, if you do not have punches, simply draw or trace different sized shapes onto your cardstock.
~ You could even print shapes onto cardstock or the back of your patterned papers (using a word-processing program on your computer that uses autoshapes).

52 Pick Up Challenge #43 by Tracy...
Fabric & Tag Challenge

I have made my tag so it folds, I want to do some journaling about some resent changes in my life, but don't want it for public viewing.

This weeks challenge is to use FABRIC on your layout.

I would also like for you to make/use a tag... I remember when I first started scrapping tags were all the rage, so much so that I started a swap group and over the 5 years it ran I had accumulated an awful lot of tags...
Tags can be a gorgeous piece of artwork in themselves... How big your tag/tags and how many you use is up to you.

Weekend Warriors Challenge - October Long Weekend

A challenge from Miss Nic :)

Ah the long weekend... how do I love thee, let me count the ways! 3 days of rest, relaxation, and if we're really lucky we might be able to squeeze in some scrapping time

If you need an excuse to sit down and scrap, here's my challenge for you:

I was surfing around the www and came across this image by Leith OMalley...

... It's an oil painting on canvas titled "Waiting for Inspiration". Appropriate I thought for a challenge... how many times have you sat in front of your stash just waiting... waiting... waiting... and wondering where is my inspiration? Where is my mojo?

This weekend your challenge is to produce a layout, card or OTP using this image as your inspiration.

You have until midnight on Monday to upload to the gallery. Post your link here when you're done. And of course, there will be a surprise pack going out in the mail to our winner!

Have fun and be inspired!

P.S. If you get a chance, check out Leith OMalley's site, there's some very cool art to be seen.
