on the 6th Day of Challenges...

Over at Scrapbook Challenges we are hosting 12 Days of Challenges. We started on December 1st and will post a challenge a day until the 12th...you can join in and do each challenge individually OR you can do what's referred to as a 'progressive' challenge, where you add each element to your layout each day...

Note*** Life has gotten away from me this week and unfortunately I have to play catch up so with that being said here's the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Day of Challenges!!! Which I know are from days ago, before I posted my 10th Day of Challenges...teehee

~ On the 6th day of challenges Charlene challenged you, include this color pop...basically you want to add a complimentary colour that will 'pop' off your layout.

Seeing as my layout is kinda neutral'ish I decided to add more bright red...and I added it as matting for my oval sentiment, which I wouldn't technically have known about if I wasn't behind!!!

~ On the 7th day of challenges Nanette challenged you, to make a mess...but I have to confess that this step messed me up! In the forum post you could make a mess or make a doodle'y mess...which I just could not do! Just didn't go with the style of this layout so I skipped on over to:

~ On the 8th day of challenges Lee-Anne challenged you, to use an oval...so as you can see in my photo above, I added the sentiment 'Tis the Season, with this month's Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month stamp set!!!

~ On the 9th day of challenges Janet challenged you, to stitch around the edges...so that I was able to do quite easily as it is something I LOVE to add to my pages :)

I hope you are still following along with these fun daily challenges, if you're joining late, don't worry, just follow the steps before and catch up! Or do a layout based on the individual challenges...either is great and you'll have a few more layouts completed in the process :) Thanks for stopping in today!

on the 3rd Day of Challenges...

Over at Scrapbook Challenges we are hosting 12 Days of Challenges. We started on December 1st and will post a challenge a day until the 12th...you can join in and do each challenge individually OR you can do what's referred to as a 'progressive' challenge, where you add each element to your layout each day...

On the 3rd day of challenges Emilia challenged you, alter the color...

I'm working on a 'progressive' layout and here's where I'm at today...the challenge was to alter the colour so I've added some paint to the edges of my cardstock piece...

I wanted to add some pink to match my background base piece and after painting the edges decided to add a bit of Cranberry ink to deepen the colour a bit around the edges...

It's difficult to get a photo of this and actually show you the true colours, as taking pictures inside without a flash isn't the greatest, but you should be able to get the idea of where I'm going with this :)

Now lastly, I've attached my piece to my background base and I'm ready to start putting this together...see you on the 4th Day of Challenges to see what we need to add next!

I hope you are going to join me with these fun daily challenges, if you're joining late, don't worry, just follow the steps before and catch up! Or do a layout based on the individual challenges...either is great and you'll have a few more layouts completed in the process :) Thanks for stopping in today!
