Here is the challenge:
And here is my page:
Doing this layout turned into a mathematical challenge for me. I was trying to figure out what the sizes and proportions were in the original layout so that I could duplicate it, but what I eventually figured out is that it must have been an 8 by 10 book or some other rectangular size, and that my 12 x 12 could not be the same. Once I let go of that, I did the best I could.
This is a continuation of the Christmas Party that I did in the last challenge, and I used papers and embellishments from the same CM pack, since they are pre-coordinated which helps me. Unfortunately they do not photograph well. They are designed to have "that damaged look."
I'm not sure if I can go on living any longer without one of those Cricut machines. Maybe I should go in on one with Amy and we could have joint custody or something.
After I finished the page I thought of more journaling I should add, but now it would wreck it. For those who read my other blog, the picture on the lower left is Aunt Chris opening the tin of popcorn I bought her.
I totally agree with you regarding the calculations. I made photos larger and I made photos smaller. It was a little challenging :)
ReplyDeleteIf you need to add more journaling, put it on a tag or something, put a slit in your paper and hide it behind one of your photos with ribbon attached to pull it out. Just a thought.
Great Pages by the way!
Looks great Mindy! This was also a challenge (no pun intended!) for me, too! But we got it done and it forced me outside of my comfort zone which is always good! I love your grab bag themes - good idea! I'm watching for a great deal on the Cricut...I'll keep you posted!
ReplyDeleteLove that you're such a current scrapper!! As much as I like my Cricut, I'm finding that I haven't used it on THAT many projects so far. I'm using my computer more and more for titles and journaling. There are TONS of free fonts you can download from the internet. I think you'll live.
ReplyDeleteFinally I have a face to go with the comments on your blog! Your pages look great. I give you credit for trying to get the same sizes. I gave up on making it look exactly like the example and tried to use more colors and patterned paper than I usually do.
