Scrapbook Layout Challenge Pages

I find doing layout challenges great for getting you to think out of the box. A challenge is set and you need to either find photos and elements that go perfectly, or make things fit as best you can. Usually it is the latter, and when this happens, that's when you experiment, try new things, and you can be often surprised at the results. You might even find a new technique or set of elements that you 'found' in your stash and you find that you really love them and use them them again often.


I try to do Laurie's Scraps challenges each month (she has three). I have posted one layout already, but I have just posted my other two.

Supplies: CVA_SSTools_Scripts_SupplyTracker, LS_UnderConstruction_kit, 

SBA_Actions_DeepShad_6501_TopLft, HHied Template.

This was the font challenge, and I must say that this layout is a little different from my usual stuff. I don't normally leave so much white space, but there it is.

Supplies: CVA_SSTools_Scripts_SupplyTracker, Font: Eccentric Std, Font: Marker Felt, LS_FlowerPatch_kit, LS_TemplateSet3_4, SBA_Actions_DeepShad_6501_BttmRght_LRG

The challenge for this layout was to focus on faces and little else in the background, so I played around with these photos to make them look similar, as they were taken at different times and locations and I wanted them to have the same feel about them, by using PSE actions. I love PSE actions, and I love that PSE8 for MAC has an Action Player - it makes it so easy and  there  are so many to choose from, and if you hunt around there are so many that are for free. One of my favourite places for free actions is CoffeeShop. A really good place to buy them from is Scrapgirls.
