Challenge 76

You know how when you're a kid, it seems as though things like Christmas and summer holidays take FOREVER to come? I think as you get older, time speeds up. We start our school year much earlier here than anywhere else I've ever lived and so therefore, our school year ends earlier too. Noah started school in August and is out for holidays already! (We're on day 3 acutually). I'm a little in shock that it's mid-june...where does the time go?

This week's challenge was super tricky for me. It was, quite literally, a challenge. I was a little stumped by the 'plain'-ness of the inspo-piece and had to leave my layout for a few days and come back to it. After a little reflection (and major studio rearranging - post rainstorm& water damage to magazines) I got an idea that made my page feel more 'done' than it had been previously. I feel pretty good about it now. I love working with large prints (but only sometimes because the layout options can become somewhat limiting) just for a change.

If you are inspired by this piece and wish to upload your work to our Flickr Group photo pool, we'd love to see what you can do with it! If you aren't already a flickr member, you'll have to join and add the LP Group to your list of groups but once you've done that you're all set to start adding your work. Why would you want to do this, you may ask? Well, for starters you could be the next lucky winner of the monthly contest where we choose one favorite from all the non-design team pages loaded to the group. What do you win?? Well, you win that month's Couture Collection! You are not required to use Couture Collections to make your pages but you're totally welcome to if you happen to own them! You can enter all month long and you can enter as often as you wish. Just make sure you indicate which weekly challenge your pages are created for so we don't miss you in our voting process.

Check out what our Uber talented design team created for you to enjoy this week!
side note: WalMart prints 81/2x 12" photos....super fun to scrap with!
