Happy September everyone!! Where did the year go?! Are all your kids in school yet? I have the opportunity to host todays challenge. I personally love to do challenges, whether they be template challenges or color challenges, all help me step out of my box. I hope you feel the same way too and participate in our challenges here- the best part is Trixie Scraps picks one person from the previous weeks challenge to get a little prize. Did you get that- for doing our challenges you get something for free!! Be sure to play along…
The winner from Jen’s template challenge last week is- Wahoolady!!! She used Trixie Scraps Love My Guy. Congrats, make sure you stop by here gallery and give her some love. Watch your inbox for a little something from Trixie Scraps.
Now for this weeks challenge- I have a really hard time with patterned backgrounds/ papers. I just don’t think I can ever get the patterns to match up. So I tend to scrap with very solid papers or papers with minimal patterns and not lots of color. However I tried really hard to step out of my box on this layout. So your challenge- should you choose to accept- is to scrap a layout with only one solid paper and the rest patterns. I don’t have a set number of patterned papers that you have to use, but there can only be one solid on the whole layout. Now for the nitty gritty- you must post your layout in a gallery (we hope you’ll put it into one of Trixie Scraps galleries so we can see it and give you love) and leave a link for it here in a comment and you have to use at least 80% of Trixie Scraps products.
I used Trixie Scraps and Connie Prince’s new ‘Take Me Away: bundle’:
And some of our Trixie Scrap Stars played along- look at their lovely layouts:
Beth did one using Lovely Days: mini kit:
Carolyn played along using Trixie Scraps new kit- Tea Time with Teddy and a template from Old Glory:
Fran has a very bright and colorful layout using Defining Me:
And Theresa made a beautiful layout using Old Glory
Don’t forget that one lucky winner will receive a special gift from Tracy- don’t miss out on your chance!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!
