Ch 3: Anthea's non-journalling challenge.

With Father's Day this month it is only fitting that we have at least one challenge that focuses on the special men in our lives. I have chosen a LO based on my DH and his love for our sweet daughter. You could make your LO about your Dad, FIL, Uncle, Grandfather or basically any male figure who has been a part of your life.

I have chosen to scrap a photo that I have previously scrapped, that I was NEVER happy with, so I am including both LOs. I would like for those of you that can to do the same, but for those of you that can not (and I understand that for various reasons there will be at least a few of you that can't) I would like to see a new technique included on the LO. In my example I made some flowers that I was taught how to make on the weekend by the lovely Kathie.

I have also used a photo that 'tells the story' and included no journalling - I would like you to do the same. I also used the colour pink in a 'male' LO and I would like to see some non-traditional colours used on the LO.

So in summary, for this challenge I would like to see:

1. A LO based on a male figure in your life
2. An old LO rescrapped OR a new technique on your LO
2. Use a photo or photos that tells the story (you are NOT allowed to journal other than a title and a date)
3. A "non-traditional" male colour scheme

Here is my before photo which I scrapped in my very early days of scrapping



And here is my LO for this challenge.



Hope you have fun with it and can not wait to see what you produce. .

The winner of this challenge will receive a $20 store voucher from Bon's Scraps!


All entries are due in the gallery by midnight Sept 30th!

Oooooh could be a tough one!!! Hmm thinking cap on Love your LO's though... especially the new one!!! Gorgeous colour combo's!!!

Your layout is gorgeous Ant!! I will have to go thru my albums and see if i have a layout i want to redo! I'm sure i will!!

Everybody who re-scraps a layout should upload a pic of the original here too!!

Hmmm I'll have to use a new technique... I don't have any old LO's that would fit the bill... and more specifically none with a male father figure in at the very least.... but lots of new techniques learned on the weekend - that should work for me

Great challenge Ant! Sure to get everyone thinking, and your LO is gorgeous! I think I might have an old LO or two laying around that I hate and would like to redo...LOL (I would like to redo ones that I did a couple of months ago...LOL)

great challenge i had the perfect photo for this... but i just used it last month for another challenge now i will have to put my thinking cap on

Excellent! Might be a new technique here for me too. Think I know the pic I want to use.

Yeah I think I'll go with the new technique too, I have so many new ones to try from the retreat, should be fun, thanks Ant

Great idea for a challenge Ant. I love your you made-over (?) layout! Gorgeous photo and the title is great!

Mmmm.... thinking cap on!

Oh dear, this is a tough one

well as i dont have any old "male figure" LO's im thinking i have to try a new technique but i have tried ALOT of them and cant think of any i havent done, Hmmmm toughy *thinking cap about to explode*

hmmmm i will have to scrounge through my old layouts i reckon.... great challenge ant!!!

OMG...now this is a challenge!!! Hehe...got my thinking cap on for this one. Great challenge Anthea...think both your layouts are lovely, that photo is so sweet!

Hehehehe - we can't make them too easy ALL of the time.

Even though it is hard - I don't think there is a single person in our group who won't come up with something brilliant!!!!!

just to make sure.... wat are non traditional men colours.....

That my dear question is the million dollar question!!!!!

It really is up to your interpretation. I would suggest that a blue and green combo is out - or black and grey, - but blue and pink or pink and grey would be OK. But that is my opinion only.

okies coolio... just cheking

Hard one hey. Pink would be in for sure, or even purple, like a regal purple would be cool I'd think. Hmmm got me thinking now, but doens't really go with the pic I wanted to use, but that's easily fixed.

pastels maybe?????????

This is a hard one!

Ant, I noticed you have scrapped your LO in exact same style, but different colours & added a few extras, is this what you mean for your challenge, or can we do a different LO with the same photo as the old LO

i think thats a great idea!!!

Hmmm, I'm putting this one aside at the moment, It's not coming together the way I wanted.... a little break on it will hopefully let me see what's wrong with it!

Me to Treens.... It looks like I might have to go for a new technique I haven't used before,.... I can't find recent (old) LO I want to redo.

2. An old LO rescrapped OR a new technique on your LO

ahhhh i thought that meant an old PHOTO rescrapped.... think i'll have to do the new technique then.... just trying to figure out what NEW technique I could use though LOL
