Only a Few Days Left!

We are coming to the end of the January/February 2021 Challenges at O'Scraps!   I'm hosting Challenge #6, the Multi-photo Challenge!  It's easy!  I dare say you could probably finish up most, if not all of the challenges in the next couple of days!  You've got until midnight PST on February 28th to post your participation layout!

Here are the basic challenge rules you will have to keep in mind for each challenge:

- Please use 80% O'Scraps products that are currently in the store.

- Non-O'Scraps products or retired O designer products can be used whether the designer is selling elsewhere or not.

- You need to credit all the products used on your layout.

And then there are specific rules that pertain to each challenge.  For example, in my challenge, you are required to use at least 3 photos to record a day in your life and you must include some journaling about the day.  Doesn't have to be a current day.  That's it!  Give it a try!   Hope you will!

Here's my page example:

Fab Friday Color Play at O'Scraps

Every 4th (or 5th) Friday of the month, the designers at O'Scraps collaborate to make kits using the same color palette.  The following pages were created using some of those portions.

Vicki Robinson's, Junque Journal 02 

et Designs' portion, Spring Mood

Palvinka's portion is Happiness Everyday

Viva Artistry's, Spring Shenanigans

Love Day by Florju Designs

I created a signature image (siggy) for the forums at O'Scraps and a layout using the beautiful "Love Day" by Florju Designs found HERE at O'Scraps.  For the layout, I used an image from Pixabay and processed it in Deep Dream Generator, an online photo processor.  There are previews for all of the portions you can buy separately.  Isn't it beautiful?!

 

Love Day by Florju designs

LOVED working with the Style Pack 2! I used something from every part of the bundle, so I am including the link to the bundle below.

Process: I used a paper and a couple of elements from the Kit, blending one of the elements into the paper. I duplicated the heart element and applied a Style to the top heart which became the white flowers you see. Then I used a Clipping mask for the photo. Then I added a frame cluster. Under the frame Cluster in the upper left I added an Embellishment cluster. Lastly, to add just a touch more to the background, I added an Addon paper, added a Style to it and blended it into the background!

Design by Tina at O'Scraps

Mark and Piper love spending time in the woods.  On this day we all took a leisurely walk to get some exercise.  I think Piper get the most exercise as she runs ahead and then runs back to us.  Then she runs ahead again, usually staying within sight of us.

The photo from Pixabay was very bright, so I used a blend mode of Overlay to tone it down with one of Lynne's backgrounds from her kit.
