3rd LO?!
I had all three LOs and captions in my previous post, but this last image and the caption that went with it didn't show up for some reason...

3 New LOs to share...
This week's challenge @ jessicasprague.com is, "Embracing the Inner M" -- the rules are to use just a single photo, have some "white space" on the LO and one of the words in the title has to start with "M." The following pages (all 12x12 digital) are shown in the order I made them.

Spraground Weekly Challenge ~ July 2, 2010
This 12x12 digital LO is my entry for this week's challenge. We were to create a page using the colors purple (hex code #4d1842), green (#c7d35c), gray (#f0e5b0) & tan (#5d5656). We were also to make the title "creative" with the colors. Mine isn't all that creative (just two separate layers in green and tan), but I like the way it turned out :) The photo is one of dozens I took on June 30th in downtown Anchorage; I thought the color of these tulips went perfectly with the purple in the challenge!

Template (altered slightly): "Template # 57" by Timounette (blog)
Brushes: Anna Aspnes (corner, borders)/Designer Digitals; Nancie Rowe Janitz (used with burn tool on green paper); Mouritsa (butterfly)/supplied in Brush*a*Bilities class; "Swirls by xO_Kaffaleen"/Brusheezy
Fonts: Beyond Wonderland ("garden"); Century Gothic (quote); CK_Ali's_Hand (on photo)
Quote found at Two Peas in a Bucket {dot} com (PeaSoup)
It might be hard to tell, but I used the tan color for the corner and border brushes (reduced opacity to 70%); for the butterflies; for the background layer of "garden" and for the quote.

Flower Child
First layout I've created since Jessica Sprague's "7 Days in May" challenges nearly two months ago! Summer activites have been keeping me busy and my mind just hasn't been very creative, lately. Anyway - here a LO I put together in just one day --

Playing Catch Up!
Oopsie -- I've gotten a little behind on posting recent layouts... In this entry, I'm sharing the second LO for the {i}NSD weekend challenges, along with two new LOs for the 2nd Annual "7 Days in May" at the Spraground, a week-long event that focuses on a new LO challenge each day. I played along last year and some of the pages I made for that event are among my favorites :)
So first, here is my entry for the {in}NSD weekend -- this challenge was to do a page based on what the word, "Space" means to us. Some folks made it about their personal scrapbooking spaces; a couple of pages were about children with the "space" of a missing tooth and others were about the "wide open spaces" of lakes, fields and prairies. I chose to take a more cosmic, spiritual view...

Stitching: Katie Pertiet, Designer Digitals (White Stitching)
Fonts: Rage ("C"); Century Gothic (Scripture verse); CK_Ali's_Hand_Official (caption and date)
Challenge 2 was to use this set of a digital frame and label, designed by the ever-inspiring LivE, part of the "leadership team" at the Spraground -

Flowers: JSprague, FiestaMiniKit
Frame and lable: LivE, for this challenge

Okay - that's all for now! Blessings, everybody :)

And here are my layouts from days 1 & 2 --
Challenge 1 was to use a large letter that was not part of the title or journaling; we also had to use only one photo and had to have stripes somewhere on the page. Took this photo of myself holding the communion elements las Sunday at church - didn't have a specific plan in mind for it, but knew it would be useful for SOMEthing!

{i}NSD Challenge No. 1 - Today
{inter}National Scrapbook Day is officially on Saturday, May 1st but the festivities are starting a little early over at the Spraground! It began tonight (Apr 29) with a LO challenge by LiveE - creative brilliance extraordinaire :) The challenge was based on a quote Liv has on the wall of her studio/guest room; it reads, "Every day holds the possibility of a miracle."
Here is an excerpt from Liv's post and the challenge requirements:
Our theme for our challenge today is... TODAY's miracles.
Here are our requirements (all must be satisfied):
1. take your camera and take a fresh new photo (one or as many as you want) within the next 24 hours. i truly believe that the extraordinary lies within every ordinary thing, if one only seeks well. so as you go through the next 24 hours, pay special attention to the little miracles that lie hidden in the ordinary everyday things, and record them with your camera.
2. create a layout using the photos you took.
3. your title should contain the words "today" and "miracle/s" (you can create any title, as long as those two words are in there). you may opt to journal a little or to journal a lot.
4. [b]pay attention, my dears, this is essential: set your timer to 1 hour before you sit down to create your layout.[b] work... nay, play... with gusto for the next 60 minutes. you need to complete your layout within 1 hour. only. don't worry, this doesn't include the time you spent taking photos or choosing what kit or items to work with on your layout. so make sure you've got your photo/s ready and your kit / papers / elements at hand before you turn the dial on the timer. (trust me, you'll LOVE it when you discover that you can actually scrap within an hour! i mean, think of the possibilities! lol )
So... I managed to fulfill all of the requirements except the 60-minute time frame part. I was already partway through the assembly of my LO when I remembered I was supposed to set the timer -- but it probably wouldn't have made a difference, as I kept hopping up and down to do other things - laundry, putting clean sheets on the beds, taking the dog out, etc.
Oh well. Here's my LO --
I chose to use the theme of the challenge - "Today, Miracle" to show rebirth, which is represented in the budding and blooming of flowers and greenery throughout spring. I also chose to focus on spiritual "rebirth" through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
