Mikelle Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Welcome to Layout #4! This is our last week of March Madness. Prizes will be announced at the very end - oh, the anticipation! You've got until Sunday night at midnight, March 31st, to upload all 4 layouts from this month, in order to be eligible for the grand prize. Layout #4, Task 1 (Monday, March 25th): 1. Find a photo (or photos) that you think will work well, and change it/them to black and white. 2. Choose ONE or TWO main colors to use for your layout, and then choose either black OR white to use in addition to the other one or two colors. 3. Find 5 papers that fit your color theme; if there are other colors in the papers you choose, that is fine, but try to choose papers that mostly fit the one or two colors you've chosen. You may crop them, layer them, blend them, whatever you'd like, for your background behind your photo(s). Woo hoo, off to the races! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I am off work today (Monday) - I'm hoping to get a little caught up on my own layouts, and leave some love on everyone else's! I can't wait to pore over everyone's AJ layouts from last week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hmmm, 5 papers? That is tricky!! Off to find a photo or 3 to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I have some photos in mind that I think these papers would work with. But I know I need a template help me figure out how to use them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Not sure what we're doing yet, so I didn't do anything but add them to my layout. Frosty Fun, Sugar Crush, Kissing booth, Santa Baby, and Deep Freeze papers used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelle Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Layout #4, Task 2 (Tuesday, March 26th): TASKS - today isn't too hard! 😁 1. Frame your photo in some way (make a frame for it, or find one from a collection), OR mask your photo. 2. Find 5 unique embellishments to use on your layout. Try to match them with your chosen colors (there is a reason for this coming soon...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in N.Z Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 week 4_Task 2 frame and 5 embellishments added ( I'm hoping these embellishments work but very nervous about next tasks 😬 I've added the embellishments on a separate LO to show you what I've used as not showing up well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I think I'm going black white and yellow. I have to choose a photo.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Well I didn't read yesterday's task well enough and planned to scrap nice colorful flowers, lol. However, I switched to a bird photo and am now going with brown/beige along with black as my colors. Here's yesterday's task: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Five unique embellishments in my colors added: 2 different flowers, a button, a string and a moth. I'm nervous about what's coming next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 OI I don't know where this is going. LOL. Perhaps I chose the wrong photo? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Alright. I arranged things and framed the photo. I added buttons from Kissing booth and Spring break. I added the flower and gem from Birthstone flowers and used a beautiful pink flower from Mischief Makers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Layout #4, Task 3 (Wednesday, March 27th): The layouts are looking great! I've been so impressed with how everyone has handled this month's "madness!" TASKS: 1. NOW... add 4 more embellishments, but choose embellishments that complement one or both of the colors you already chose. What are complementary colors? They are opposite each other on the color wheel (I won't post a link here, but Google color wheel, and you'll be able to find your complementary colors; a basic example, red and blue are complementary, they are opposite each other on the color wheel). If you already have two colors that are complementary to each other, then instead choose 4 embellishments that are white or black, whichever you don't already have (for example, if you already chose to use white, now find 4 mostly black embellishments). Make sense? Madness, I tell you! 2. Create a title for your layout using at least one alpha. Wait... this is too easy... tilt or rotate your letters in some way, or place them unevenly on your layout. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Here's a little trick I do to find a complementary color on my layouts: Click on the paper (in my case a brown paper), then go to Filter > Adjustments > Invert. It automatically changes the color to its complement. (Just remember to invert again to get it back to its original color. ) Oh... that's a pretty blue! Now to find blue embellishments.... that don't look weird with the bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
