I started with some hazy greenish photos of me reading to my great-nephew when he was here back in 2009 for Shimelle's Fifteenth Challenge to treat a rubbish photo (or several) like they were every other picture in your world. There's a lot of green in these photos, but I wanted the focus to be on Andrew in his blue pjs, so I used blue paper & embellishments. I actually think this technique really improved the quality of the photos.
I had to laugh when I saw Shimelle's sixteenth challenge to use your leftovers from this weekend. I think her theory is that we've scrapped for a couple of days and have scraps covering our craft table that can be used on this last layout. I, however, clean off my craft table after every layout/card/project - it's just what works for me. So, I pulled scraps from my scrap files for this layout, some are papers that I've used on this past week, others are scraps from previous projects. I copied the design of Amy Tan's layout that Shimelle provided in this prompt.
(Those of you who've been reading my blog for a while and know what a great husband I have probably guessed correctly that he made this delicious looking breakfast!)
YIPPEE - I've completed a layout for each of Shimelle's Online Scrapbooking Weekend Challenges ahead of this weekend's deadline! How did you do? Were you able to complete all (or some) of these fun challenges?

Good job, Melissa!! I have really enjoyed checking out your creations the past few days--your layouts are always gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWell done for completing Shimelle's challenges! I really wanted to join in, but didn't have the time. I have printed the challenges off to work on over the next few weeks! I love your layout with your nephew - looks great.
ReplyDeleteYou did very well Melissa! I have not been able to participate - just too busy :)Your layouts have been very inspiring and I have enjoyed looking at them. Are you taking Shimmelle's new class?
ReplyDeleteAll 16, you rock. I'm still plugging away, should end up with about 5 or 6.
ReplyDeletehow did I know you would clear up everytime!! I've managed three challenges so far xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge to use rubbish photos! I have plenty of those from back in the day! Great layouts once again!
ReplyDeleteI am super impressed that you completed all the challenges. I made four layouts and felt pretty accomplished! You did a fabulous job. Love these last few challenges! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done for a perfect score from the weekend - all that photo organising and clearing away obviously has a beneficial effect!
ReplyDeleteGreat pages, and good for you completing so many of these challenges! I was too busy last weekend to really participate, so I hope I can take part in her next one.
