    Happy July! Since July is often filled with lazy days and vacations, we decided to have a fun challenge this month. What is it you ask? Well YOU get to decide!! Okay, okay, I'll stop being so cryptic hehe. This month, you get to go back to ANY NBK Design challenge ever offered, and follow those directions to create a brand new layout. That's right, YOU can pick the challenge that you want to work with. Maybe it's something you didn't get to finish? Or maybe it's something that you liked so much you want to do it again? Whatever the reason, just pick one and have fun. The rules are simple. Besides using 100% NBK Design products on your layout, you MUST post a link to the challenge that you picked and of course meet the requirements of your chosen challenge. That's it! Easy Peasy :) And to show you what I mean, I made this layout using Nicole's Counting collection:

    I never got a chance to use the September 2020 Advanced challenge found HERE, so I knew right away I wanted to try it now. I had so much fun! My son achieved his Eagle Rank and I used a collage of all the photos I have taken of him during Boy Scout events. What a great technique to learn.

    Now remember, you can pick any NBK Design challenge, so go find one and let's see what your brand new page looks like!

    RULES
    This challenge runs from July 3rd to July 31st.
    TWO lucky scrappers will be randomly chosen to win a $5 coupon to the NBK Design store.
    You must use 100% NBK Design Products.
    Post your layout in the NBK Design Gallery and in this forum, and link your layout to the gallery. Don't forget to link the chosen challenge to your post in this thread as well!

    Thank you for this challenge. I chose the same one as you, @mocamom. I use Affinity Designer so my frist challenge was to figure out how to adapt the PSE tutorial to what my software could do, or to what I could do with my software. In the end I decided to just go old-school and create masks/add photos as I noramally would and then just play with filters... Not sure I'd be doing this again, but this was definitely2.5 hours spent doing what I love. Thanks for the challenge.

    If it makes you feel any better Olga, it took me about that long too by the time I adjusted each of my photos. I think you should host a challenge for Affinity users and teach them how you adapted it. Your layout is seriously gorgeous - like you should print and frame this for your wall!!!

    lol... it DOES make me feel better... I don't know how many Affinity users there are here, but it's an interesting idea I'm definitely not averse to...

    I enjoy this challenge. Thank you for hosting it!
    I chose the Selective Color challenge from November 2018 to do my layout.

    How fun is this Karen! Did you desaturate your elements and papers or use black and white colored ones only? Super cute!

    Oh goodness, I had so much fun working on this - didn't have as much time as I wanted (and not sure I will before the end of the month so here's try 1). I used the Sept 2020 advanced tutorial - it's always been something I have wanted to try and the tutorial was great.
    I'm pretty sure I'll be making some photos if not layouts for my boys with their soccer pictures in the future
