Yesterday, I promised to post the details about the new Let's Scrap website challenge for the month of March. Yes! It's a month-long challenge! You can create one or as many layouts as you have the time and inclination to do, but each must follow a monochromatic (having or appearing to have only one color) theme. This challenge is hosted by one of the Design Team members, Elizna Parsons. Elizna has chosen to use blue for her beautiful layout, but we are actually free to chose any color for our layout(s). During succeeding weeks, Elizna will suggest additional colors, but, again, it's only a suggestion. Elizna has also provided us with a sketch to follow--which she designed just for this challenge. Here's her sketch:
And here is the layout she created as an example of her challenge:
One of the great things about the Let's Scrap sketch website is that the sketches are provided for inspiration! We, as the creative artists, are free to follow the sketch exactly, to make some changes to accommodate the photos with which we are working, or to rotate, flip or even reverse either or both sides of the sketch. My suggestion here is to use the sketch as you see it. I followed the sketch almost exactly and, while it was a lot of work manipulating my photos, in the end, it was worth every moment invested. Additional directions to complete this challenge are to use a stamp somewhere on your layout and to include a handmade embellishment--handmade by YOU, that is! For all the details, you can check out Elizna's post in the Let's Scrap Forum under "March Month Long Challenge." If you are not a member of the Let's Scrap website, it's free, easy and quick to join, just go here.
Now, just a tease from me! I have completed the challenge. I will be posting the two-page layout in the Let's Scrap Gallery tomorrow, after photographing it outside in the bright light. In the meantime, here are a few sneak peeks:
OK, I promise I will be back tomorrow for "the big reveal" of MY NANA'S EYES. Don't miss it! In the meantime, please leave a comment to let me know you were here--and because it makes me feel good!
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteEeeekkk! This looks gorgeous so far! Can't wait to see it tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your take! Love the teasers!
ReplyDeleteSoooooo excited to see the whole thing! I cant wait until tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see the WHOLE layout, Kay....the little we are allowed to see, looks AWESOME! ;-) Thank you for joining in the challenge and inspiring others to do the same!
ReplyDeleteWell, Kay, it looks like you haven't wasted any time on this challenge. The peeks are so enticing, I can't wait to see the entire layout. I'm sure it is a beautiful work of art! (I am also working on a layout for this challenge, using red papers.)
ReplyDeleteKay, I see you were inspired by the blue...the little I can see is lovely. I'm working on your metal challenge at the moment (can't find the metal flowers that I KNOW are in my stash!!!) -Hope to get to this one, too. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind that I "pinned" your layout to my board on Pinterest... I LOVE it!... and will probably scraplift it too! I just saw that sketch yesterday, and had to "pin" it too! LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso your stickpin is just gorgeous! Did you make that? If so, what beads are those? They are so sparkly!
Thanks for becoming a follower on my blog... I'm now following you, too!
Oops! I just realized that you posted Elizna's Layout! I just saw it on Let's Scrap! Don't know why I thought I read "here is the layout I created" (meaning you), instead of what you actually wrote..."here is the layout she created"!!!
ReplyDeleteIn my defense, all I can say is that I was in lala land, lol, because just shortly before seeing this post, we got the news that our FIRST grandchild is a GIRL! YAY!.... anyway, I love it! :)
