Happy New Year everyone!!

So I hope everyone had a great night and if you made any resolutions that they are ones that you can keep!!


So how about a couple of challenges ...


No 1 ... a layout with no patterned paper!!


I posted this one a few days ago on my blog ...




So use your imagination a little and definitely no patterned paper!

I scanned the dockets from the bakery and printed them onto plain paper.


No 2 ... Photo Challenge ... "this says Summer to me" ...



I think we had this last Summer but post a favourite photo of something you have loved doing this Summer ... no rush ... you have the whole month!!



No 3 ... Representation through elements ...

Ooohh that sounds good doesn't it!! ;-)

I have done this a few times lately so though it might be good to explain with this example ...

1. the yellow paper ... the stubble
2. the stitching ... header traveling through the paddock, round and round
3. the clock ... time waiting at the silos
4. blue pearls ... rain
5. yellow and green brad ... colour of the header
6. twine ... harvest wrapping up
7. brads ... a truck looking element ;-)
8. chipboard star ... start of harvest

So if you do this challenge when you send your layout in add an explanation of your elements and what they represent!
