Stand Up and Scrap (Last 3)

Here are the last 3 layouts for the challenge. To see all the credits go here.

Challenge #4: Color = Power

Monochromatic Color Schemes - this week, bring your emotions to life using a monochromatic color scheme which accurately expresses the feelings behind the memory you are trying to share. A SINGLE color family (ie pinks, greens, etc) in addition to the allowable use of black, white and neutrals (kraft paper, etc) are what the judges will be looking for in this week's design focus.



Challenge #5: A picture says 1000 words

Clean & Graphic Pages - This week, we challenge you to capture a photograph that simply speaks for itself and then create a clean and graphic page which lets your photograph do all the talking. A small date or caption is acceptable but otherwise your page should have NO major journaling and NO substantial titlework. Additionally, NO stock photography may be used this week - your photo must be one you took personally.


Challenge #6: What Will You Do Next?

"What are you going to do next? What are you going to do to make this world a better place?"

Stand Up and Scrap Reveal Part 1

There was about 300 people who participated in this contest with 10 winners each week for 6 weeks so I was never expecting to win anything. My hopes were to be motivated and pushed to do new things and that I did. I'm proud of myself for what I've created. Some I like better than others but I am happy with them all. There were 2 parts of the challenge: an inspirational focus and design focus.

Week 1 Challenge:
If you could have one dream come true what would it be? and
Brushwork - we want to challenge you to use brushes to bring the inspirational focus of your page to life.


Week 2 Challenge:
What makes your life sweet?
Patterned Paper -use no less than 3 prints on your page. Remember, a little pattern goes a long way so show us your creative uses for patterned paper without being gawdy.


Week3 Challenge:

Music-let music be your muse - Use a lyric of a song to create a layout that is meaningful to you and the people you love.

Typography - use typography (font work) to add interest and mood to the lyrical focus of your page.
