Simple Simon? NO WAY!

Oh yeah, over at Bad Girls the competition is continuing this week with "SIMPLE" designs that assert the quintessential lines of balance and asymmetrical and symmetrical design. GOSH, I just did not know it would be so hard to NOT add more to my layout. I just tell ya, the work in the gallery is truly amazing. I kept my design simple in the fact I told my story through smaller photos of the event of the day. I also kept my handwritten journaling to sum up my thoughts simple as well. I am hopeful that this will help guide me through round #4! But all I can say is, WHEW...this was so HARD for me. I am thankful to the class by Miss Sri Sams for bringing me out of my "scrappy box!"

A Perfect Day with YOU!

The Layering Perspective

The Layering Perspective

I have not competed in scrapping competitions as of late. I have just been scrapping for the love of the scrap. However, Bad Girls is having an 8 week competition that is in class form. So, I signed up. I signed up to be inspired and gather new techniques. The gallery is already full of wonderful layouts by a variety of scrapbook artists. The first class is on the "Layering Technique" that can be any medium and form as long as there are layers. So, I took the plunge this morning and created my first layout for this competition. So, if you would like to be challenged and would like to gather great inspiration...check out Bad Girls and gander to the gallery for incredible uploads that will sure to get your mojo working! My main concentration was on patterned papers and layering simple with transparent butterflies.

I love these patterned papers by American Crafts. The colors are fabulous.

My overall design was kept simple. I tend to go over board with product on my pages and sometimes a little says a great deal. What is that saying? Less is more? Time tells all stories though...right?
