January 8: Florals, Foliage and Frames

January 8: Florals, Foliage and Frames

Welcome to Day 8 of MOC 2022! I'm excited to host this fun challenge today!

For this challenge, you will create a multi-layered cluster as the focal point on your layout using florals, foliage and 1 or more frames grouped together, which must be in the focal point area but do not need to all be connected. At least one or more photos need to be included in the focal point cluster.

***A clipping mask may be used for a photo along with or in place of a frame***

You can create your own frame or use frames from your digi-stash. Any frame is acceptable. Check the TLP store HERE for a huge assortment of frames. Check the TLP store HERE for a huge assortment of flowers.

CHALLENGE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Start your focal point cluster anywhere on your page i.e. along an edge, in the middle or off in a corner.
• Place at least 10 (duplicates are accepted) flowers, at least 2 foliage around your frame(s), tucking them under and over the frame(s), as desired and use 1 or more frames, adding at least 1 photo. This will be the focal point cluster. The cluster does not require all elements to be touching, overlapping, etc but they need to be in a grouping in the focal point area of your choosing.
• Nothing else is to go on your page outside of your focal point cluster with the exception of paint, masks or overlays, if you choose to use them.

Journaling is optional and the title can be placed anywhere on your page.

The rules for this challenge:

• Use 1 or more frames as part of your cluster.
• Use 1 or more photos as part of your cluster.
• Add at least 10 flowers (duplicates acceptable) plus at least 2 foliage as part of your cluster.
• You may add additional elements to your cluster - as long as you meet the above mentioned requirements.
• Nothing else is to go on your page outside of your focal point cluster with the exception of paint, masks or overlays, if you choose to use them.
• Paint, masks or overlays may be used.

Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Your page must be posted in three places:

1. Uploaded to the TLP Gallery (not an outside hosting site).
2. Posted in your page thread you created in the MOC Layouts Folder. You should have one post per completed challenge page. If you complete all 31 challenges, your thread should contain 31 posts. Please do not comment in the participants’ page threads so we can keep them clean.
3. Posted in this thread. People can comment here if they wish.

Your page must contain Lilypad product (pages with photos and font only do not count). If you use product from other stores, your pages must contain at least 75% current Lilypad product (currently for sale in the store from either permanent designers or guest designers).

I'm looking forward to seeing your pages! Have fun!
