April Quote Challenge with CathyK<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, we’ve made it to the third Tuesday of April – time for the monthly Challenge Spotlight<\/strong>! Last weekend we had a rare confluence of high holy days with Easter, Ramadan (which is ongoing until May 1) and Passover. I daresay a lot of us were busy!! But even so there are some great examples of individual style in the Quote Challenge Gallery<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Each month CathyK<\/strong><\/a><\/span> provides a quote around which the layouts are to be based. In the past she’s created word art with the quote, and the last couple of months, she’s had some very cool message boards with the quotes on them. If the quote isn’t actually used in the layout, the scrapper must explain how it inspired her. Let’s take a look… [narrator’s note: Each layout is linked to the Gallery<\/strong>; click on the scrapper’s user name and you’ll be whisked off to the layout so you can indicate your admiration.]<\/p>\n

This layout from poki04<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is stunning! She used the quote as a border around that amazing long-exposure photo of the night sky. The use of muted cool colours creates a beautiful, monochromatic layout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I like how at first glance this layout of dragonstarr<\/strong><\/a><\/span>‘s looks quite abstract, with so many repeating shapes. then, once you read the text border, you see beyond the obvious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

khoskins<\/strong><\/a><\/span>‘ layout just POPS! She’s got starry skies everywhere. I love her use of complimentary colours, blue and orange. Eye-catching for sure!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What does one do when one hasn’t any photos to match the quote’s theme? Go photoless and let the quote do all the heavy lifting, as Got2Scrap<\/strong><\/a><\/span> did!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NHSoxGirl<\/strong><\/a><\/span> really ran with the rainbow theme! We lived in Montr\u00e9al for 3 years, but it was before the Biosphere was constructed. My daughter has visited it with our grandchildren, who loved it. Here it’s showcased by both the rainbow and the elements arranged around it. Cleverly, the dark navy band of paper hints at its location on Ile-Ste-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Look at how nimble4u<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has used some symbols in place of words in the quote. It’s pretty clear from the photos they’re looking for rainbows.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s not often one is able to see both ends of a rainbow, and gmae<\/strong><\/a><\/span> even points that out in her journaling! She’s created a journal card with the quote to support the theme.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Look at all that white space! 01lousmith<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has highlighted her whimsical photo so perfectly, and the use of the paint swatch as a journaling tag is genius.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

DianeInOz<\/strong><\/span> has taken the rain angle and run with it. She kept the embellishment to a minimum, which is a good idea when the background paper is boldly patterned as this one is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Is there anything more joyful than a child jumping in puddles? Windswept<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has captured that joy in so many ways. Her nod to the quote is the sticker she created. \"\"<\/p>\n

And finally, this masterpiece by hichchei<\/strong><\/a><\/span>… it’s so moody and just a little spooky. The stars are there, but not obviously so, which works beautifully with her vision and with how she’s used the quote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to let the ladies know you like their layouts! See you next Tuesday.<\/p>\n
