UPDATE** If you posted a picture to the temp thread on the temp board, I need you to post your picture here! I cannot get on the other thread for some reason, and going back and forth is a mess anyways. So PLEASE READ - you need to put your layout on this thread in order for it to count - if you posted your submission on the temp board, please re-post it here. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks!
Good afternoon! So sorry this month’s challenge is a day late – I’ve had a hard time trying to find time to get this together, and things have been so busy! But I’m here, better late than never!
In addition to a standard Christmas challenge, this month we’ll do the predictable and honor dads this month! They deserve their time in the spotlight too.
Option 1: Create a Christmas/Hannukka/Kwanzaa layout that uses the following ingredients. ALL ingredients must be on your page. You can add anything else you like, if you must
3 word title
2 to 3 pictures
paint/ink splatters OR stamping of some sort
something shiny – metallics, or glitter (stickles etc), shiny metal anything (oooh, even sequins would be fabulous!)
Paper tearing
Journaling/hidden journaling – since so much about Christmas layouts is about recording the memories, write down those thoughts! Create a pocket behind some paper or a picture and tuck in some hidden journaling even – those are fun!
Option 2: Create a layout that features your father. You can be in the picture or not, but your father definitely needs to be in the picture. Include journaling about your dad and what you love about him, a funny memory, something you'll always remember about him (cooking, working around the house, trips together, reading stories, etc) and tell us about it! ORRRR.... do a layout with a picture of your kiddos and their dad. (no Mommy’s, this is a Father’s Day page!!) and journal about favorite memories about your kiddos with their dad, etc. Plus, this will be a color challenge. I LOVE using green, blue, and orange together for a masculine page, so that’s your challenge! Pick one other color to use with it – either Brown of any color OR a grey of any color. Black or white is also allowed, but minimally. These are the only colors you are to use, so choose wisely!
BONUS!! I found this layout online and loved it so much, I think it would make a good scraplift. So, if you choose to use this layout as a sketch for your layout, you'll get a bonus entry - for either/both options!!
Here are some examples of the Father's day option color scheme to get you inspired:
This is a layout I just did this weekend and I LOVE the colors together!
See how lovely these colors are with grey?!
and with brown/beige...
Rules:
You may combine with one other challenge this month that allows combining.
Open to paper/digi/hybrid layouts.
You may submit one entry for the Christmas option and one entry for the Father’s day option, for a total of 2 entries for the month. Remember the bonus entry if you use the layout provided as a sketch for your layout. If you use it to make 2 layouts (one Christmas, one Father's day) you'll get a bonus entry for each!!
All qualifying entries will be entered into a random drawing for a $5 ACOT GC.
All entries due by June 30 at midnight.
