It's MAY and time for another month of challenges! This month I’m hosting the Scraplift challenge and were going to scrap lift our Guest Polly - Sharon aka @sbpoet. Sharon has such an artsy art journal style with a strong and confident free style feel to her designs. To swoon over her artwork, here is a link to her gallery. There is so much deliciousness in there but I decided to go with this awesome page called ‘AUTHENTIC’. This is what I created. I was inspired pretty much by everything, from her page design, the theme and the sweeping layers of colour, paint and flowers all peaked my creativity! Remember our monthly challenge rules: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the May Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and of course to this thread too. The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month: 2 challenges = 10% off 4 challenges = 20% off 6 challenges = 30% off If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate from the Lilypad! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges). I can't wait to see how Sharon’s Gallery inspires you, ooooh and have a fun and fabulous iNSD everyone!
I love your layout and have just been swooning over sbpoet's gallery. Now which one to choose?! Finally chose this beautiful layout: And mine:
It may be a day or two before I actually get to this, but I'm inspired by this one so I don't want to lose it: And I did finally get back to it and get it done! Here's my take:
sbpoet is much more abstract and artsy that my own personal style but I found inspiration in this one which I chose to scraplift: And here is my more literal lift - I used the circles, background paint, and two paper "framing" background also.
Ooooh... love her gallery, but TOUGH challenge! The whole artsy thing is way beyond me! I scraplifted this LO from @sbpoet . And here's my attempt!
Wow, this was hard to choose, this is the one I choose. I'll be back. Ok here is my lift. Em, you really had my brain working on this one. Hope I did it justice!
