November

Hi all. Sorry for the delay with these challenges - i have been out all day!

Photography Challenge.

ok the theme this month is LIGHT. Interperate that how you will and snap away. Maybe you would like to experiment with light flare - which is a very big, 'in' thing at the moment. Perhap you might have another more quirky way of looking at light. Think out of the box.

This is one of my fav. shots from the wedding i helped at a few weeks ago using some diffuse backlighting from the sun. A truly magnificent day for photo taking! Or here is another fav. dreamy sort of shot of one of Marika's gorgeous kids. I love how angelic he looks here! (Marika i know you are laughing about now - honestly they were just kids being kids - don't stress!!)


Amanda's Challenge.



Banners. Yep those little triangular thingos that usually say 'go team' or strung above the fire place with letters to spell out CHRISTMAS written on each flag.


They are popping up on layouts all over the place. They are not overly big on my list of 'gorgeous embellishments' but i gave it a go and actually liked how it turned out on this layout! Push yourself, extend and try something new! (i didn't measure my triangles but did it all by roughly eyeballing and nipping with the scissors) You can fasten with string, staples, machine stitching.....the list of possibilities is endless!





Sue's Sketch



Stay tuned.



Meredith's Challenge



Stay tuned.



Colour Challenge.

Using kraft to celebrate our new colour combo for the March retreat i have teamed that with baby pink, black and white for a shabby chic look. I can't wait to see your creations with this yummy combo.

Beautiful photos Amanda!! Something I haven't tried - might struggle with it but I'll give it a go!

I LOVE that layout of Piper and really thought it would get picked up!! Congrats!

Now I just need to think of a layout challenge idea!! No more food or drink related ones though - two months in a row is enough!!
