MORE WITH FOUR — The Digi Files 8

A new DIGI FILES means a new MORE WITH FOUR challenge!  Yea!  I am so excited to bring you this challenge every month — it is definitely one of my favorites.  By limiting what you can use it forces you to look at your products in new ways…and often with AMAZING results.  Here are this month’s products (all from THE DIGI FILES 8).

Here is the basic set of guidelines:

• You will be given four digital products.
• You are to create a layout or hybrid project using these four products only
• For a digital layout, in addition to these items you can use staples, paper tears or tearing actions, and fonts
• You can alter the items shown as long as the item is still recognizable.
• You need to use some of each of the items.

And here are some layouts that our team came up with!

Layout by Amy: “I used the photo overlay to create my own brick like pattern paper.  I needed a journaling block and decided to fill in the middle of the photo overlay with the paint bucket to create an ink block to journal on.  Lastly, I needed 5 different flowers, so I recolored one using the hue/saturate adjustment filter.“

Layout by Katie: “I did recolor the blue paper to a match the picture. I love how the crochet flowers match my Mom’s groovy vest!
Fonts are Steph2 Whirligig and Times New Roman.  This was my 1st Birthday “

Layout by Karen: “Here’s mine… I was looking for a “sunny” paper to go with the photo/theme, but wanted it lighter than the yellow paper I used in the strips. I blended the white paper and the yellow checked paper to get the tone I wanted. I also cut up the mask/frame to use it as an inked edge on the right side of the layout.”

Layout by Jacki: “Mine morphed several times until I ended up with something completely different than what I started with! I thought the challenge was difficult this time! But I ended up loving the end product, a celebration of great-grandparents and generations of family.

I used all the More with Four products but used the painted photo frame for my background paper instead and extracted a couple buttons from the crochet flowers.”

Now we want to see what YOU can do…MORE with FOUR!  Post a link to your layout before Monday night and get a chance to win a five pack of coupons from our sponsoring designers!
