Love the silly faces in the photo, thracian. And you have done a lovely job of showcasing it. I always seem to use woodgrain for masculine LO's, but you have used it so well with all those girlie colours and flowers and frills, that I may need to give this a try. |

Nylene, I love your story as well as the page. My grandparents had a really old phone like the picture. My great grandmother lived on their property but had no phone service. They set it up so she could call them. I wish I had a picture! @elaynef, so funny that you would post that because my dad had a phone just like the one you posted and we played with it when we were kids. We put it in our little play area in the lilac trees in the backyard and someone entered the yard one night and stole it. They had to climb the fence to get to it. My dad was so mad that we had left it outside. I love your wood grain paper with that beautiful photo. That must be such a wonderful walk to take in all seasons. Nicely scrapped. |

Chinagirl828 great challenge! single page or double page woodgrain or ombre thickers or flat title inked edges or torn edges frames or pockets die cuts or stickers
I did a single page for 52 favorite over at Paper Issues. It has woodgrain in the little bear sticker, inked edges, flat title, going into a pocket page (doing a 6X8 album for the year), if not I "framed the picture" (I am sick do I get a pass lol!) and I used all stickers for embellishments.

kiwigirl really love your color scheme! I’m impressed with your expertise using nuvo drops and equally impressed you used photo turns! Pretty sure I have like 3 of them in a baggie of random Christmas colored embellies I’ve been hanging onto for 10 years…now that I see them in use again, I might have to go digging! thracian what a gorgeous page! Love it all  the design, colors, accents, that fab photo…gorgeous! crystalb brr, your LO is so frosty! Love all the sparkle!

kiwigirl your page looks deceptively simple - always a challenge to pull off effectively. I love the two different coloured rows of nuvo drops and the fun bird sticker. thracian your colour combo is beautiful! I love the woodgrain in this mix, the whole page just feels so light and happy. crystalb That looks like it would be fun! I love the cute little bear (and nice job sneaking the woodgrain in!) and the snowflake background. I'm impressed you got everything in on your smaller canvas

Great challenge, Chinagirl828 . I don't know if I would have searched out this ombre paper without it! I chose single page, ombre paper, Thickers, torn edges (on vellum), frame, and die cuts.  This or That 1 by Mikk Lynn, on Flickr |

Such a wonderful page! love it. grammadee, I really like that you included all the music notes. I'm a sucker for them for some weird reason. Great job. msliz, fantastic job using scraps.

It's perfect for that photo. justjac, I'm glad you didn't end up in a horror movie. You're pages are so gorgeous. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I love your nature pages.

Double page - Flat title - Die cut banner pieces
Sometimes the only pictures I have to scrap are downloads from Facebook. The quality is not good so I change them to sepia or black and white - - That's what I did here. I don't love it, but his 16th birthday will be in his book. That's what's important, right?

I am sure he will LOVE the pages. And that IS what's important. I like that you toned down the papers to match the sepia photos. I am not sure I would have thought to do this--or had the papers to make it work! |

gramma I’d rather scrap crappy photos than no photos, so I’m right there with you! What a great masculine page and fabulous fun banners!

gramma I definitely think the story can be more important than the quality of the photos. I love the banners and the neutral colour scheme with the pops of red.

I am still trying to play catch up on these challenges! I was down sick with the flu Friday-Mon. Feeling a bit better now. I put the finishing touches on this layout today. I used a SG sketch for the basic design. Items I chose: * double page * woodgrain * flat title * inked edges * frames * stickers  |

Chinagirl828 Thank you for the fun challenge. I really love your page. The tones just flow with your photo and really tell the story without even having to read. woodysbetty Your layout has such a nice masculine, grungy feel, perfect for your photos. I really like the background you chose. stinkerbelle your layout is so fun. I like the one big cluster with the accent one on the right. Woodgrain is my favorite! grammadee I love how things just kept getting added to your page. What a fun thing to scrap and your paler blue lets the photos shine. msliz this is so pretty and fantasy feeling. Love that you used up a paper you don't love as well. nylene I really like the white woodgrain you used- helps keep the page softer, Your photos and title is too fun. @elaynef I think your photo looks beautiful with your photo! the layers of matting help to make it stand out. I think you should use a stock photo or just a photo of your Grandmother to tell your other story! patin Your bright age is perfect for the subject mater. I think you did a great job over coming your struggles. kiwigirl I think your layout is simple but stunning. As always I love your use of the novo drops! thracian I really love your shabby chic feeling page with your super fun photo. All your layering of patterns and use of scents is so pretty. crystalb I really like that you used one giant photo to tell your story. The wintery blues and that cute bear are perfect. mikklynn your page is just stunning. That Ombre works so well with your photo and the layout has such great composition. justjac could your papers be more perfect for your photos? I like that tree like border all the way across and how you placed your smaller accents around the page. gramma I too have a lot of facebook pics from my older son. I love ho you were able to edit them to make them work. Your banner border across the bottom is a nice festive touch. LisaDV your layout is s fun. I love the bright colors against the woodgrain and your great photos.

ExpatBackHome frames are my nemesis. I've stopped buying them but occasionally still get them in die cut packs and I have a few left from before I knew better. I really like how you've used them to hold your embellishment clusters and the rainbow of colours works beautifully with these photos.

I had this almost finished for over two weeks. This or that choices: - single page - ombre background in grey - thickers, digital equivalent for the week 05 title - inked edges round one photo at the bottom right - frames around all photos, sort of polaroid style - stickers - they're on the floor there!  This Or That by Jane Bradbury, on Flickr Supplies include: journal card with alphabet from Capture Life by Becky Higgins and background paper recoloured from Bermuda Triangle an old collab kit from Pixels & Co. Everything else made by me. Font is Open Sans. Created in Photoshop. |
