Celestine Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've been looking out my window at the same old snowy white for months now. The late winter doldrums have hit. I imagine many of you are just like me - ready for a change of scenery!Your challenge this week is to create a scene using scrapbook papers or embellishments. You can keep it simple by using a scenic background paper. You can use tree elements to create a forest. Layer curvy papers to create hills or waves on the ocean. Make mountains out of triangles filled with papers. Or maybe use a window to create a fantasy scene. Let your imagination take you to a new place!For inspiration, here are some layouts plucked out of the gallery that use embellishments and papers to create a scene: Monthly #2 Color ch by barbaraj (papers blended for ocean with sea embellishments)Impromptu Skating by Celestine (papers form trees and hills)Reflections by Celestine (torn papers templates form lakeside)Blending-cuba-car by Boatlady (paper as graffiti wall)weekend challenge by Jane in N.Z.

alsoarty Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've done a few of these, THIS ONE came to mind from June 2014 (I can not find it here in the galleries, it could have been for a challenge. (Anyway, I will do another one. I believe it was Elisha Barnett's collection, and the elf is one Lauren Crochet, her design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is City Sunset I wanted to let you know that your link isn't to your layout. I'm not sure if April looks in the threads or the galleries for her prizes, so you might want to correct it. Thanks!
