Challenge 9 - Doodle on the photograph

Don't be afraid to express yourself by doodling right on your photos! (If you're worried about ruining them, doodle on a digital print.) Try using your own handwriting on an open area of the photograph - or use a doodled rub-on instead!





****this is a true challenge for me, every time i sat down with the intention of drawing on a photograph my pen wouldn't go there, so i will try again this weekend do you all have a layout with doodling to share****

Challenge 8 - Group of FOUR photos

Group Four Photos
I love creating one-photo layouts, but sometimes I have more than one photograph to feature on a page. I like to take four or more photographs and cluster them together in a group. This makes them appear almost as one large focal-point photo but allows me to display more images at once time. Try it!

Challenge 7 - Take an Artistic Photograph

It's easy to capture photographs of family and events. But for this challenge, I want you to look through the lens of your camera as a photo enthusiast. Take a closer glance at things in your life that you might otherwise walk on by. Look for beauty in unexpected places, inside and outside of your home.

Challenge 6 Create a Ribbon Cluster

Ribbons are beautiful accents on a page - no matter what! But why not take the next step? Challenge yourself to create an accent with a cluster of ribbons. Just tie two, three, four, or more ribbons and cluster them together in the same area on your page. To finish the look, tie them onto cardstock, weave them through an embroidered border, or hook a tiny safety pin through them.

Challenge 5 - Embellish a Floral Accent

Embellish a Floral Accent - No matter what your pages topic, I bet you can find a place for a flower accent in your design. But take it up a notch. Embellish the center of your flower with a mini clock, a tiny thread-tied button or patterned paper. and don't be afraid to turn a large flower shape into a photo frame! The First layout you will notice that i used the large flower to frame my picture, then i added stickles to give the flower some POP!
The second layout I carefully and tediously tied ribbon in the center of my flower!
