Challenge #19 - Old Loves

Liz — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:02:33 GMT

Is there a product or tool that you used to use on almost every layout, but haven't used for a while? Well, dig it out, because I challenge you to rediscover an old love. Create a layout using your old love, and post in the gallery with "Challenge #19" in the title and post a link in this thread.

For me, it's definitely my labeller... it used to be my Dymo, but since getting the Around the Block labeller, it's back on my layouts in a big way! I love cutting strips of paper and ...

Challenge #17 - Ad Inspiration

Liz — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:01:22 GMT

an oldy, but hopefully a goodie...

Choose one of the ads below and create a layout inspired by any part of the ad (design, colours, topic...). Post in the Crop Gallery with "Challenge #17" in the title, and add a link to this post.

I did two layouts... inspired by Ad #1 and Ad #3 (definitely adapted it to work with the multi-photo format, though).

Challenge #1 - Art Inspiration

Liz — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:00:32 GMT

Art.com is a great source of inspiration for me, and it didn't let me down...

Choose an art piece below, and create a card or layout inspired by the art (colours, general feel, shapes...). Post your creation in the Crop Gallery with the "Challenge #1" in the title, and add a link here.

I was inspired by the first art piece... these MAMBI rub-ons were perfect!

Challenge #7 - Hybrid the Easy Way

Liz — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:57:00 GMT

This challenge was pretty popular last crop, so we thought we'd bring it back for another round. I created some goodies to co-ordinate with the March BYOM kit, and your challenge is to print them out (it's a 4x6 .jpg file, so print it as you would print a photo--either on cardstock or photo paper) and use them with your March kit to create a layout. If you want the 4x6 size, you might need to change your printer settings to portrait photo before you print.

To get the file to your computer, ...
