It doesn't necessarily fit the page or photo, but it's not bad... maybe it's a more beautiful world when looking through Giraffe glasses? That's an idea... giraffe glasses!

alsoarty Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 OK so I had to count up a few more collections because the first 5 didn't have an alpha. And goes what? I got a USA FLAG as an embellishment lol... have to think what I'm going to do with that. But I lucked out and got a great alpha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to get 2 with purple and 1 b/w. That's funny Carla! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 My 16th designer didn't have any alphas but I continued to the next designer (LLA) for this alpha from Happy Days: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Here's so far - One photo, 3 papers and the first 4 embellishments, that's a lot of counting for sure. Thank goodness for using blending on papers. For as much as I like purple, it was a bright one so I used blending on it and cropped my photo because it was taken through a paned-glass door! Some of these embellishments don't quite fit, I'm off to see what's next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Oh my - well that went downhill fast! 😱 I've had a long day so going to close up for the night. I'll have to play with these crazy pieces tomorrow. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Well, my word art is orange, so there is a theme. I had trouble finding a designer with an alpha, so when I did find this one, I was happy! Don't know what the title will be yet, so I only added an "a". I'll arrange and figure out a title after the last task. But I'm off to bed, so I'll see you all tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in N.Z Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Its amazing how many designers don't have an alpha so I think mine was number 17 but its not a bad one thankfully as my embellishments are shocking 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Last task! To complete our mess… I mean, masterpiece… let’s add glitter! Everything’s better with glitter, right? Search for either glitter or sparkles in your search tool (however you search for things on your computer), and starting from the bottom of the list, count up to the 23rd shiny object (count up from the bottom). When your layout is done, post that beautiful mess in the Anniversary Gallery, then come back to this thread to leave a link to your layout. Don't forget to update your post in the Anniversary Tracker, too! Woo hoo! You guys made it! I'll be back soon and post my own layout, but I have to figure out how to arrange that mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Here's my Mess - oh my goodness, what random pieces I had in all crazy colors! Funny story, when this happened once before a long time ago, I decided to make my layout a "Garage Sale" that was selling all those pieces! 🤣 Ro was the owner then and actually picked my layout as the winner!

KristiM Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Well here is mine and it is a true mess! LOL! I do not organize by designer/collection so I skipped collection and counted kits then elements/papers as was noted. I organize by kit title or theme using the designer initials in the title so I can easily see who that is. (Organizing solely by designer simply doesn't make any sense to me!) I did have to skip around some to get my word art and alpha but then chose the next one in line after the original count. I was born in May so this is a photo from a trip to Topsail Beach, NC in March 2013. The top dotted paper I did use a blending mode as said was allowed because the colors were more primary so that make at least the colors match-ish. There are two scatters but they are hard to see. One is blue and is one of the elements and the other is silver and shiny so was my glitter element. The calculator is so totally random because obviously I would never choose a calculator on a vacation type layout. At least the word art kinda sorta matched since I had a photo of the vacation house that we rented that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Here's my mess. Thanks (I think ) for a fun challenge.
