Happy Anniversary Scrap Girls! Anyone up for a challenge? Let's play a game! We are going to have a Layout Challenge - 5 days/techniques to the perfect layout! Each day, for 5 days, I will post a new technique (here in this post). You will create one layout using each technique I list. It will take 5 days to complete your layout. Once you have used all 5 techniques, you can post your layout in the Anniversary Gallery! A winner will be choosen and the prize will be a Collection Biggie!!!!!

Any questions? Please post in them in this thread! I'll do my best to answer them!

Are you ready?????


Technique #1: Make some adjustment or apply an action to your photos.
Technique #2: Use the rule of thirds for the cropping and the placement of your photos.
Technique #3: Blend two papers together somewhere on your layout.
Technique #4: Use a alpha in your title and somewhere with your embellishments.
Technique #5: Use a blending mode twice somewhere on your layout.

Please post your finished layouts in the 5th Anniversary Galleryby noon Mountain Time on Saturday, October 24th. We will be choosing a winner from those layouts posted. Please put "5 Techniques Game" as the title and post a link here in this thread so we don't miss any layouts!

[no_idea]

Sure, I'll try. This reminds me of a month long challenge we did... (was it December or January?) where we had tasks to complete each day.

[Bobbi Jo]

5 techniques, 5 days @ 1 technique each day = 1 final LO using all 5 techniques. Is that right? (it's so hard to be clear-thinking this early on a Monday! )

[lorac]

Sounds like fun to me. I'll give it a go.

[Julie - scrapaholic]

Isn't that the truth? That is usually the hardest part for me.
