Here’s what I did with this challenge:

Layout by Katie. font is CK footnote.

I turned off the layer of journaling strips on the template. I duplicated the lace border and made an inner frame out of the pieces. I also used the stitching on the frame. And I used pink on a page with my son on it – I don’t do that very often, but I thought it worked just fine with the theme here.

Here is what our team did with this challenge:

Layout by Jacki. Fonts are Giggles by Fontologie and Rub This.

“I moved items around on the template a bit. I’m not very good at using journal strips b/c I tend to be so wordy in my journaling – eep! But I love lots of photos so I used all those. I changed the hue and saturation on the blue paper a bit to match the tone of my DD’s t-shirt. Used the burn tool on the edge of paper to give it more dimension. Also used the heart cutting tool on CD’s wordart to give me some extra hearts to plop here and there.”

Layout by Karen.

“I blended papers from Mari and Suzy Q for the background. I cut up the stitches and the scallop frame and moved quite a bit around on the template for what I wanted to do.”

Layout by Steph font is JPHand

“I recolored the pink paper to a red and the blue to a darker shade of blue, but still coordinating with the LOVE doodle.  I wanted the papers these colors so they would compliment my photos better.  I recolored by going to image>adjustments>hue/saturation and playing with the saturation and light/darkness until I got what I was looking for.  I added the scallop border to the bottom of the papers because a little scallop never hurt anybody (including boys).”

And here’s a fun hybrid project:

Project by Sunghee.

“I used Mari’s CD Sleeve Card from the DigiChick.”

Isn’t it fun to see how many different ways a few digital supplies can be used? We’d love to see what you can do with this challenge! Be sure to leave a link to your layout or project to be eligible for the gift card drawing.

P.S. The random winner from yesterday’s comments on Janet’s feature was Mary, who said:

“I’ve been a BIG fan of Janet’s templates, since back when I first discovered her at SBG. I continued to purchase her templates while she was at TDD and, have continued to do so at Sweet Shoppe Designs.  There are several of Janet’s NEW templates on my wish list but the one I’m wanting most would be: The Birthday Book Album Set.  Good Luck to everyone!”

Congratulations Mary!  You won a $10 GC to Janet’s store!  Check your email!
