Challenge Spotlight: Daily Download<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GingerScrappers<\/strong><\/span>, you’ve really been crushing the Challenges<\/strong><\/span> this month! When I was touring the Gallery<\/strong><\/span> looking for a likely Challenge<\/strong><\/span> to Spotlight<\/strong><\/span> today, I was quickly inundated with layouts. And the Challenges<\/strong><\/span> that make the best Individual Style<\/strong><\/span> posts were very well-represented. There were so many, in fact, that no matter which one I chose, I could never include ALL the Challenge<\/strong><\/span> layouts in a post that didn’t run on for days. So I decided to try something a little different. I decided to go with the Daily Download Challenge<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, which has two Designers<\/strong><\/span>‘ kits this month, You’re a Peach<\/strong> from Aimee Harrison<\/strong><\/span> and Cleaning Day<\/strong> from Twin Mom Scraps<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were THIRTY layouts in the Challenge Gallery<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>so I had to decide how to proceed in the fairest possible way. I opted to use Random.org<\/strong> to decide for me! I numbered each of the layouts, then entered all the numbers that were created with Aimee<\/strong><\/span>‘s kit into the randomizer. Then I chose the top 5 on the list.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I did the same with the layouts using Twin Mom<\/strong><\/span>‘s kit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now that I’ve explained the process for choosing which layouts to feature, I’ll remind you that each layout is linked to the Gallery<\/strong><\/span> so you can get a closer look, and so you can leave some comments, should you choose to do so. Just click on the Scrapper’<\/strong><\/span>s name. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n

VariaMoon<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> chose the bold plaid and patterned papers from Aimee<\/strong><\/span>‘s kit. Placing the paper pieces behind the photos on an angle emphasizes the geometry of the plaid. I like that she used colour cues from her photos to choose the papers she used to mat them with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here, imafishtank<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> used mainly warm colours with the cool colours as accents to feature photos of a very pretty child and proud mama. She has such a variety of papers framing them and made a statement with her title.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Using just a few bits of the kit, domino44<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> created a bold celebration layout, framing her photo with a warm, peachy cluster.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ooh, this looks like another celebration! Maybe a 4-generation celebration? The clusters pbhill<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> created help draw the eye to her photo, while the warm palette coordinates beautifully with the colours in the photo. That butterfly seems to be quite popular. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can almost taste that pie…\u00a0photocrazy<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> stayed on theme for her layout. I like that she has a good amount of white space here, so the ribbons, rickrack and banner serve as tractor beams to draw the eye to the pie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now let’s look at Twin Mom’s kit. First up is greenfiend27<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>. I like everything about her layout! The elements she chose not only play nice with her image colour-wise, but they’re also representative. Those bead scatters are so perfect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m always impressed by no-photo layouts like this one from dhariana<\/strong>.<\/a><\/span><\/span> Her focus on creating calm in her layout led to blending papers, sticking to a very neutral palette and the creation of a single, cohesive cluster.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5grand<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> had a similar idea. I love the humour in her layout! Her choice of paint splatters behind the cluster replicates water all over the floor int he photo. Very clever! And the banner made me laugh out loud. She’s so right… housework isn’t fun! That’s why I pay to have someone do it for me. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GrannyNKy<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> put the emphasis on her photos. I, too, really wish I could have a clothesline – there’s no better smell in the world than line-dried laundry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This poignant layout from ranchcreations<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> made me a little misty. She kept the layout very clean and simple, to keep the focus on emotion. Her clusters are understated but achingly beautiful. My mom will soon be 90, so this will be in my foreseeable future. I hope I’m as dignified.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hubby and I have been diligently cleaning our garage now that our big dining room set has sold and we have room to move. The peaches are starting to ripen on the trees here, and I’m so looking forward to slurping a bunch down soon. We’ve had a LOT of rain in the last week, and the cherries still on the trees are being threatened with splitting. I have photos of the cherry dryer to scrap and I’m seeing layouts in my head for both these kits! See you next week!<\/p>\n
