AmandaFace Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 When someone asks about my design aesthetic, sometimes I have a hard time actually giving someone a clear picture of what it may be. I design whatever I like basically, sometimes that’s bright and graphic, other times it’s vintage and distressed inspired. The Challenge This month I challenge you to create a layout that has some kind of “rusted” aspect to it. Whether that’s rusted vintage style embellishments, alpha, etc. Or even just what may come to mind when you hear the word. How The challenge will run from November 1st - November 30th. Create a layout featuring some type of rusted aspect, post it in the gallery, and then share it here with us in this thread as well. (There isn’t a specific place in the gallery you need to post, your personal gallery is fine.) I ask that the layout utilize at least 30-50% of items from my store. (Don’t overthink that percentage, just make sure some of my items are used pretty please) Prize A $5 coupon good for anything in my store. And please share! When you post, feel free to tell us about your creative process or something about your layout. Below are some of my own favorite rusted items, these are not things that you have to use in the challenge, but may give you a good stepping off direction for your own layout.

Always look forward to your challenges! I bought those last night in the sale after seeing this challenge, but I haven’t downloaded them yet. They do look like they’d be fun and often I’m looking for a “metal” look and can’t find what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbaraj Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'm not real happy with this and may try again but here's one where I used For Him, A Beautiful Mess,Fancy Rust 6401 Styles by AFT Designs and a texture photo I took at a cemetery that had a lot of rust. http://scrapgirls.net/forum/gallery/image/189830-playing-outside/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemarythyme Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I love old things, rusty things, and always wonder what their story is. Rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 This rusted challenge works really well for a masculine page, so I scrapped a photo of my son, taken before they re-opened hair-cutting places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Here is mine Weymouth I found the Beachcomber collections and in stash with a lovely rusty alpha. How could I have forgotten about this collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I finally got this done. “Rust” made me think of old and dusty, like the tools and pieces are in the Edison Laboritories National Historic Park in my Town. I bought Amanda’s “JIF 6: Rust” a long time ago. Probably 10 years since it was the JIF 6 in ScrapGirls’ 6th birthday year and it just celebrated 16. I’ve always loved the pieces so was happy to be able to use many of them here. I combined this challenge with the November Monthly #1 - “Where I Live” so I could post in that Gallery. Thanks for the fun challenges, Amanda. Where I Live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I was supposed to be working on Project Life layouts, but I was happily sidetracked by this challenge! ? Here is mine: Preclinical Lab, 1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I love the look of rust. Here is my page. Thanks for the challenge! I have 2 creative processes: One to "git 'r done" and one for Scrapgirl Assigments. My personal pages to "git 'r done" are not as carefully planned or designed. I start by figuring how many photos are needed. Than, I search for the layout design. Then, I figure out the kit. Well, for the most part. Sometimes, a kit inspires me so I use it as my inspiration.

A-M Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thankyou Amanda for this challenge as I had the perfect photo to use which I had not yet got around to creating a page with it. Old and Rusted I hope it was okay that I used an old kit which I could not now find in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestine Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Here is my page: Unsolved Mysteries. It has doubled as the monthly challenge for "where I live." This abandoned oddity sits along the river that forms the southern border of the city where I live. My creative process: I wanted to use the three photos, and ultimately decided to put one in a sparse mask to blend into the rusty-looking, brown background. After placing the canvas overlay, filled with one of the blue-green papers from the Take Wing collection, I decided I liked it over the top of the mask to give the page more of a distressed look. I really liked the gears and the papers in the kit for the page, and added a few more from a couple of other collections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaFace Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Sorry it took awhile to get to picking a winner for this, I took a last minute trip out of state to help a friend with some stuff. My random winner was Barbara! Congrats! Thanks everyone for your great work, and come check out this month's challenge if you haven't already.
