Welcome to 28-4-28 and the 3rd installment of "Shape Up!" Thursday challenges! Thursday challenges will focus on how to use basic shapes on a page, and the twist will be a specific shape to use. WEEK 3 your challenge is to create ROW of basic shapes as an EDGE, DIVISION OR BANNER. Here are my examples this week, starting with the one I specifically made for the challenge, using 2 rows of circles along the dividing line in my design: layout cosmic side hustle by kirstendrew, on Flickr And for other examples: Here are "flag" shapes arranged on layouts: layout drama dog elite by kirstendrew, on Flickr Layout solid gold by kirstendrew, on Flickr Tags lined up to make top and bottom borders (I don't like this page...but I like the idea and want to try again, maybe just using a top OR bottom border, or using LESS of the tag showing?) LAYOUT welcome to wing A by kirstendrew, on Flickr And you don't have to cut your own shapes - there may be patterned papers that have rows of repeated shapes that make this process easy. Here are arrows used this way: layout changes by kirstendrew, on Flickr Tickets! layout ghouls night out by kirstendrew, on Flickr Semi-circles layout nutella and chill by kirstendrew, on Flickr Chevons/"v"shapes? layout hello from the other side by kirstendrew, on Flickr WEEK 1-4 your twist is to use CIRCLES, TRIANGLES, SQUARES, HEXAGONS or TAGS as your repeated elements...but...choose wisely! These 5 shapes will be the same every week but you may only use each shape ONCE this month to meet the twist! So if you use circles this week for the twist, next week you have to choose from the remaining 4 options!

Hope this works for this challenge, kitbop. I am not sure how straight my row of hexagons is, but I was going for a border below the photos. Hexagons works as a twist, right? Oh Layla 1 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr

grammadee - you are always good with your hexagons! I'm working with them for next week I love the "confetti" strewn amongst your elements. nylene - what a sweet line of squares you made! And I love that heart die-cut background too. It *almost* makes me want to dust off my old cameo. But that sounds very work-ish.

Hoping to claim this one also - does my border of little circles count?

scratchoff by BreetheFlea, on Flickr Better late than never? A row of shapes: I had triangles, tags and hexagons left so I chose hexagons. The background paper is black cardstock with distress ink stenciled on it (got the idea from a recent steakgoddess Youtube video, or maybe it was someone else, I watched a lot of videos last week when I was sick) I used pink ink... but I like how that part turned out. I used my embossing folders (or one of them) for the first time in years as I said I was going to do on a recent post. The brown outline is my dinner table not part of the layout. Oh and the photo was taken on Christmas day, and I didn't use a single red or green item, it's going to look weird in my album in between all the Christmas pages

I've had this page half done for the last couple of weeks, and then ran out of mojo. I'm pleased with how it turned out in the end, and have wanted to try this border of tags for a long time.

@chinagirl: I love borders of tags! I also love how "nautical" that simple pp looks the way you used it. Your title work is spot on! @breetheflea - What amazing movement you got from hexagons (which I find often "sit still" because of the way they interlock iykwim) - the diagonal stripe and the continuation of the hexies with the stencil works so well on the 2 sides of the "line"! Linda - oh my gosh, your colour matching is really magazine worthy - that picture is just so well accented by your design and choices!

breetheflea -I love the monochrome colours and the hexagons - those worked super well! Chinagirl828 - the tag border is lovely and the tone on tone of the tags and the PP are just right. Gorgeous photos kitbop - thank you!
