Another day of frantically trying to make up 4 speed scraps resulted in these layouts.

LOTD - again!

Wow, I got layout of the day again! I can't believe it! It's not because of my mad scrapping skills, that's for sure. There are so many much, much better scrappers than me. These fruits were so unique that my creativity cinched another LOTD for me. Nuts! This really was a fun layout to make, and it's fun that other people like it, too. I really ought to add some journaling, but I ran out of time. This is Evelyn trying to feed herself one of her favorite foods, strawberry yogurt, but she mostly just made a huge mess.I was going to make a basket for the fruit to go in, but I couldn't find a good cutout that looked like a basket. There wasn't a bowl either, but there was a trophy. Luckily I was able to make it look kinda like a bowl - even though if you look at the bowl's "feet," they don't quite match exactly...

Oops!

I just realized I haven't been including credits in these posts. Not good. I'll work on that this week.

Speedy

Yesterday was my last chance to make up some speed scraps at Brownie Scraps. The participation prizes were mini kits that all coordinated to make one super cute kit, so I wanted to get all the pieces. Here are the four layouts I came up with and tried to do in a hurry.

This was one of the very first layouts I ever started, but I never finished. I only had to change it a little and then add some stuff to make it work for the speed scrap.

This was a fun one to do. I love all the fruit, and the alpha came from pictures taken of oranges.

I love how this one turned out - definitely one of my favorites. Isn't that title great?

Here's one of my other favorite layouts I've done. Eve has started posing whenever I pull out the camera. What a nut!

LOTD

I was shocked to find out I had the layout of the day at Brownie Scraps on April 15 with this sleeping Evelyn layout.

Dazzling

For this challenge, we needed to crop a picture close up and couldn't use any journaling or a title to tell the story. I liked this title, though, so I did 2 versions.

First half of April

April is half over and I've only done a few layouts and even fewer challenges. The good news is I'm getting faster and these didn't take me an entire day. The challenge was to crop your photo in a more unusual shape and then make good use of white space. I tried 2 different takes:Credits: Kit - Mudpuddles by Designs by Ramona

This was the template challenge. I had a really a hard time deciding on a title - and I'm still not sure I like what I finally ended up with. I also couldn't decide if the top paper should be yellow or pink. The pink blended really well, but the yellow made things pop more. In the end I went with yellow, but I still love the pink, too.

Time to get a move on and get a lot more challenges and layouts done!
