Challenge number 20 is up at Punky Scraps: to create a page using the following:
5 photos
4 alphas
3 patterned papers
2 colours of mists/pain
1 stamp
and also incorporate the colour blue.
My layout for this challenge looks like this:
Five photos - yes! I've been collecting these over the years and so badly wanted to use them on a page but am scared these days of using too many photos on a page. Perfect timing the challenge! Four alphas - yes, if you count either a different colour (white and black Thickers) or my own handwriting. Three patterned papers - yes: the background and two little flags on the right. Two colours - well, I used a blue home-made paint mist (and it worked!) and some white gesso. One stamp - that's the little star imprint in the gesso.
Oh, and blue - well, yes :-). The little piece of ephemera is actually a part of the most awesome event leaflet I've ever seen. It's a few pages full of really old circus-style adverts for events going on at one of our favourite local venues, aptly named (for this layout) 'Magic Mirrors'. It's where we go dancing - it has a proper wooden dance floor and a glass dome in the ceiling that splits sunlight into rainbows on the inside - no need for a glitterball in the summer when it's still light at 10.30pm.

I actually used a Scrapbook Challenges sketch for this one: number 256, which looks like this:

Love how you have reflected your title. Great layout, you really do get some cool photos. This is really your style.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have asked for a better challenge, it's really let your creativity show through.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't think I could have managed to get that title right! Very clever :)
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun, but difficult, challenge. i love all the reflection photos and references.
ReplyDeleteLove how you did the title, amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove those photos. I almost always use more than 1 photo on the page so it was normal for me but you did A better job placing the images on the page. You guys get sun till 10:30? bananas! I thought 8:30 sunset was cool but the trade off must be early winter sunsets- those are depressing.
