August BYOC Challenge

My favorite colors are in this BYOC, love it! Here's my page:

 

Wow!...This BYOC Was So Mixed Media & Totally Grungy For Me...I Mostly Used Rachel Jefferies Contribution To The BYOC But I Sprinkled In 2 Other BYOC Designers Into My Layout As Per The Rules...I Couldn't Wait To Use My New Mixed Media Pieces...

*This Layout Celebrates All That Is Urban/Grungy/Music & Of Course "Pearfect"...I Used 2 Of Rachel's Background Papers & I Blended In 2 Photos That I Had...One Of A Painted Graffiti Wall & The Other Of A Brick Wall With Giant Arrows Painted On It...They Went "Pearfectly" With The Theme & The Colors Were Also Complimentary...After That I Placed My Photos In Where I Approximately Thought They Would Go But I Actually Ended Up Moving Them Around To Different Places Before I Settled With The End Locations...I Then Added In The Faceless Head & Applied Various Effects & Treatments Until I Was Happy With It(This Took Quite A While...I Won't Lie...This Layout Took Quite Awhile To Finish Actually...) & Then I Just Started Playing With Different Kit Pieces & Different Paints...Ultimately I Decided On A Diagonal Theme Through & Through...The Photos Go Loosely On A Diagonal...One To The Left & The Other To The Right...The WA Is Also All On Diagonals & The "Power Of Threes" As I Call It Are Also Being Used In This Layout...There Are Also Multiple Arrows Drawing In The Eye To The Center Of The Layout...I Placed 3 Pears Into The Layout To Further Illustrate The "Pearfect" Theme...The DJ...The Large Headphones...The "Live Music" Sign Extraction & The Ticket Are Used To Illustrate The Music Aspect Of This Layout...After Some Further Photo Manipulation...I Was Finally Satisfied With How The Photos Looked...Then I Applied The "Paint" Effects In The 4 Corners-Ish...Once Again To Draw The Eye In To The Center But To Also Give The Layout More Balance & A More Full Effect...I Then Added The Heart...The Talk Bubble(Recolored) & The Red Pear Behind The Headphones For Effect...I Added A Few More Grungy Items From Rachel's Kit & Then I Finally I Felt Like The Layout Was Evenly Balanced & Finally Finished...*

One from me

 

I'm so happy with this layout and JUST realized the template bumps this one out of eligibility for BYOC! am posting it anyway and will get another one done to meet the requirements.

Take 2! this one should meet all the requirements, lol
