Shades of the Same Challenge

Happy Monday guys! Are you ready for a new challenge? Well, strap on your boots and get ready for a fun one! This is called the "Shades of the Same" challenge. This is going to be quite a challenge, because you have to try to keep your papers all in the same color scheme. Kind of tricky, right?!? But have no fear, while it sounds hard, once you get it all complete you will be surprised at how effective, and beautiful, one color can be.
Choose your color to evoke the emotion of the photos or mood you are wanting to convey. To me Blue evokes "cool", Yellow evokes energy. White evokes a sort of "dreamy" feel and also a clean feel. Play around and see what you get. Here is a handy website that may be of some help in choosing what color you want to pick.
This is running today through Nov. 5th. Please post your links in the comments section so we can see your beautiful work! Here are the Design Team's pieces...aren't they awesome!?

The "Time Capsule" Challenge

Happy Monday everyone! The TV title challenge was a super fun one. I hope you enjoyed that and got some inspiration from the music and the design team.

Yesterday was a special day that happens only every one hundred years. It was 10/10/10. This got us to thinking about doing a "time capsule" layout/project about what daily life is like right now. What is the price for a car and a home? What movies and music are popular? Who is a famous athlete or actor? These are all answers that will be different at any other point in history before or in the future. So the challenge here is to document what is going on now. Something you can look back on (or family members can look back on), and get a real sense of "how life was".

This is running from today through Oct. 22nd. Please be sure to link up here so we can see your very own "time capsule". Also...on a side note...SB Trends is having an open call for Time Capsule work. So be sure to use this as a double duty Lo and share it here and submit it HERE!

Here is the DT work:
