It seems as if I misunderstood the game. Thanks for answering. Does this mean that one layout must have 12 photos and all those colors so far and not 6 layouts by the end of the week. Must I go delete the layouts that I put on?

I'm not real positive, but I think we are completing one layout step-by-step each day, with 6 or more photos on it. At the end of the week, we will have a completed layout to post. (At least this is how I understand it and it's what I've been doing)

Theresa has it right - one layout at the end of the week (M-S is 6 days) then each task uses the number 6 in some way with just one layout to post at the end of Saturday.

I would love to do the challenge, but I am a complete dunce today. Where do I find the color palette and how do I post it here? Are we supposed to post our layouts already or does that come later. I have posted two already. I don't know if I understood the challenge properly. Someone please help and excuse the dumb questions.

The palette is in the post with today's task. If you click it you should have a download option to save it to your computer. Then recolor each section within your software, save it as a png and upload it with your colors to this thread. You can use your programs color picker to choose colors from your 6 photos if you want.

No need to delete the other layouts.

Thanks everyone. I think I understand now. I deleted the layout and will work on it one day at a time. I am going to attempt to put the color chart on now. Hope it works.

Well it sort of worked. Could not get the first white block to take a color though. So white is my color. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thursday's Task

Choose three backgrounds and make three changes to them before adding them to your layout.

Example - add a border to the edge of one paper, add a transparency to another and then a blending mode on the third. This is just an example, you can do anything you like to change each of the backgrounds.

[Jenna]

Do you mean 3 papers, or do all 3 have to be utilized as a background?

Thursday's Task done.

[Belle]

I will have to do Thursdays task tomorrow. I could not get into Scrap Girls today. I think it was my internet.

Great challenge, Dee. I chose ScrapSimple Digital Layout Templates: Squares and Strips 2 and plan to use the #2 layout, the one with Lily on the purple background. I can't link to the original layout, Details of You, in Caroline's gallery. The picture is missing, I think since the server move. I will contact Caroline and ask her to re-upload the beautiful layout so I can link for a scraplift.

Day 2: 6 pictures.

Day 3:

Each day this week I will post a task and by the end of the week you will have a layout done. Post layouts in the 6th anniversary party gallery for a chance to win a cool prize!

Here is Monday's task.

Choose a layout or product that uses 6 or more photos to scrap lift, start a new document in your software and add the "blocks" you will clip your photos to. You can use the template you choose or create your own if you are going to scrap-lift. Post a link to the product or layout here in this thread.

Dee, you come up with some great challenges - maybe next month I can feel comfortable committing myself to some of them - this one sounds great but afraid I wouldn't get it done.
