Hello October! In the northern hemisphere, we are experiencing one of the most beautiful seasons of all, in my opinion.
  • I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ― L. M. Montgomery
So, I find it a bit strange to be taking you away from the vivid colors of autumn and into a world of black and white. But my decision has been made, and I'm sticking to it.

For Lynn's October challenge, I would like you to create a black and white page, with at least one black and white photo. However, as a nod to the color around us, you may use a pop of color, and that color may be used more than once.

See my Halloween-themed layout as an example. I used a black & white adjustment layer along with levels to desaturate and boost contrast for whatever was not black & white. I also increased saturation of the red tones (my pop of color) to make them more vivid.

Mixing several of Lynn's Halloween-themed products: Poe Faced, Midnight Brooms, Nocturne, Batty.




And here are other examples from the team for more inspiration:

Challenge Requirements:

  • Create a new scrapbooking page.
  • Use a minimum of 75% Lynn Grieveson Products.
  • Post your page to Lynn Grieveson's Gallery, and then come back to this thread and post a link to your layout. (Please link your thread to your gallery image as it helps us leave love on your layout and validate your project).
  • Please remember to follow Gallery Guidelines and list your credits in the gallery posting.
  • No double-dipping…your layout must be created for this challenge only, no others.
  • This challenge will remain open until midnight (EST) October 31, 2024.

The Prize:
  • Lynn will be giving everyone who participates a discount coupon for her store that will give you 15% off when you spend over $8.99.
  • One random winner will get a $8 coupon for Lynn's store.
  • AND Lynn will be awarding a prize of $20 at the end of the year to a random winner from everyone who completes at least one of Lynn's challenges every month. There is a tracking thread for your participation layouts. The link:

Keep those lovely layouts coming!!!

I wanted to let you know that I'll be MIA from October 22 through November 5. I will be traveling with potentially sketchy internet. I will comment when I can. This will also mean the delay of announcing a winner for this challenge & sending out coupons until after I return home. But no worries, it will happen. :bk
