Fandango Challenge Beginning 8/9

[Debb Cozzi]

Thank you everyone for joining us in the Fandango this evening. Our new challenge for this week is:

Focus on edges and borders. Often in freestyle layouts you will see things 'framed' in different and unique ways. Lots of things can be framed in a layout...the photos, the journaling block, decorative elements, even the layout as a whole. And, you can use lots of different things to add an edge or frame....doodles, grunge brushes, tape, ribbon, buttons, etc. So this week we want to see you come up with a freestyle layout that uses frames (or 'edges') in different and unique ways. Be creative, inventive, and show us your 'Fandango Groove' :) :) :) To receive the posting bonus be sure and use something from one of the following kits by Suzanne:

Photo edges:

this was the nkotb layout I was talking about at the chat tonight. I guess I could swap out the bracket with one of Suzanne's doodles after the judging and stick it in the fandango gallery!!

[isshinryu_mom]

Here's one from me.... I framed the picture by "stamping" one of Suzannes Edgy Edges on it, off centered. For some reason cropping the photo to that size looked wrong but I like focusing the eye on the girl by framing it. I also framed the page with journaling.

I hated missing the chat.... hope to be there next week.

[flrebareba]

I gave it a try too. I framed the picture and then used a doodle frame around the cast on his leg. and framed the journalling too. Please tell me if it is too much.. any cc is welcome. Thanks

[wen2tap]

This is one I just did for the DET boot camp challenge " gallery Presence" not sure I achieved that but I know it has a fandango style to it, just love that fandango.!!! used Grungy Edges and part of the framing is from the actually photos themselves. Would love any CC to help me make it more WOW for the DET.

[Debb Cozzi]

This one isn't 'over the top' fandango, but I did play around with some elements of freestyle...hand written fonts and unique edges and frames:

[sammdc]

sounds fabulous will try get too it over the weekend

[MommyPanda]

Oh boy, I have another one ..... I did this layout for Rene' Bross' "Where the boys are" challenge, so it's residing in that gallery. Thanks, Debb, for suggesting that I link it to this thread! ;)

Totally, Dude! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=121982)

[Greenfingers]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122155&cat=2943
That's mine! I had already framed the manipulated photo and liked the effect, so echoed it around the LO, added the story behind the photo and a doodle to add interest in the corner.

[lvg4him]

here is one of many should i get the chance to scrap all the ideas I got from the chat!! :D

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122181&cat=2943

[amson]

Everyone seems to be having so much fun, I thought that I would join in.

This is my attempt with freestyle edging. CC very welcome!

Layout is in Gimme Gallery as it is doing double duty.

I used Suzanne's Edgy edges.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122198&cat=2610

[jhertzog]

Well, here is my first lo using edges that I did using Suzanne's edgy edges 6 during the one hour chat for CIJ. Its called puppy love. (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=118121&cat=500&ppuser=21151)

I'll try to work on a new one this weekend.

[sandygb]

I felt like having another go at this challenge. It has made me realise- after I saw this in the gallery, that I usually place photos not tilted, so I'll challenge myself to try something different next time. Also, in retrospect, I wish I had carried on with more of a border with the tiny frames instead of the squiggle. CC very welcome because I don't know if I'm fandangoing or square dancing! LOL

[sandilyn]

I did this for another challenge, but think it fits here too-
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122302&cat=500&ppuser=31249

[Debb Cozzi]

Here is another one from me. I used the jouranling on a path to encirlce/frame my photo and Suzannes fun, fun brackets to frame the additional journaling.

[LindaBelle]

Here's mine...

Mom's the Word (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122372&cat=500&ppuser=23215)

After I got this all done I read the "rules" and realized that I hadn't used any of Suzanne's work.....(that'll teach me to pay attention!)
Suz....I'm so sorry...I'll be sure and do something that focuses on your fabulous edges soon!!

Meanwhile, here's one that I did using Suzanne's Edgy Edges-6 during a speed crop for CIJ.
Bob and Dorene (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=118082&cat=500&ppuser=23215)

Thanks for the challenge Debb!!

[the3chickens]

This is my try.. It's doing a few other challenges and is currently in FNI Gallery - I hope that's ok...

[vanillalatte]

Hey, Debb! I was looking around for a challenge today to spark some inspiration. I'm glad I found this one! Here's my LO:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122477

[Bocca]

Here is mine for this week. I intended this to be Freestyle, but it just didn't work out quite that way. I used Suzanne's Edgy Edges. http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122519&cat=500&ppuser=32292

Here is another one I did for Club Digital, but I didn' use the edges. http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=121914&cat=500&ppuser=32292

[wen2tap]

this one is doing double duty for Rock the Kasbah & Fandango
Daddies Arms

[Debb Cozzi]

Here is another one...I really had fun playing with the idea of frames for this one since the photo itself had a sort of frame around my young son's face. ;)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122572&cat=500&ppuser=1383

[cybergram]

Debb, your talent just continues to blow me away,what an awesome imaginative layout. You obviously have so much fun with your boys & that is so refreshing to see these days.

[clepatb]

Here's mine using frames:

Here is a layout I did of our dear Sheltie, Stormy, picture taken during a "storm" last winter.

[LindaBelle]

Here's another one using Suzanne's awesome "Edgy Edges 6"
Thrice Wicked Wenches (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122660&cat=500&ppuser=23215)

Found some fun inspiration at a local Renaissance Faire yesterday!

[SuzanneCWalker]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYCOOOO WWWWWWWWWw!

You guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

WILL YOU QUIT!!!!! I can not KEEP UUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

Wow. I can't BELIEVE these layouts! I promise I will come spend the requisite HOURS it will take to get through this gallery. WHAT AN INSPIRATION YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!

[yvspeck]

I finally got up the nerve to try my hand at this freestyle stuff... You all have been really blowing me away with all the fantastic LO's you have been creating.. Just amazing!!!!!! Not sure if I have this completely figured out but think I at least have a foot in the door.....
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122754&cat=2943

[isshinryu_mom]

I did another one which I'm not 100% sure is freestyle but I am posting it here for discussion... this one isn't framed with Suzanne's edges but it is CHOCK-full of her fonts (I love her fonts!) I've been trying to scrap these photos for a couple of days and just hadn't gotten anything I really liked. Framing the title area and journaling area finally resulted in something I'm happy with so that's why I'm posting it here. CC welcome.

Here is mine, though it's in another gallery for the moment. Fish Fear Me (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122838&cat=3061)

[Debb Cozzi]

This is a layout I did with this week's IOTW. But I gave it a little fandango flair (just can't help myself I guess! ;)) added some edges on the photo, journaled on the photo and did a little bit of mixed media (graphic & paper style elements.)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122874&cat=500&ppuser=1383

[webfrau]

I didn't set out to specifically do a freestyle LO but I think it may be.
I know it doesn't qualify for a posting bonus as I didn't use Suzanne's edges.
This is what happened after Debb Cozzi gave me some feedback on a DET bootcamp LO - thanks for that Debb, I'd never considered "trapped" space before.
It evolved to this http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122862&cat=500&ppuser=29334
with a companion page

Here's another Fandango one with a freestyle edge effect on the photo...

What fun!!!

[sandra]

Here's one I did recently-- framed the photo using Rene's frame and doodled around the outside too!

[mariafer]

Here is mine for this week's freestyle fandango.. I am having so much fun with this type of layout. Cc is welcome... http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122936&cat=2943
And this is my entry for NKOTB5 that I used more than one edge on the foto.

[amyeileen]

I just did this layout up last night for the Scanning challenge with Elisabeth but I think it fits well in here as well!
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122747&cat=500&ppuser=46980

[tinksmom]

Ok here is my attempt at freestyle with frames and edges. I think it turned out ok. http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123003&nocache=1
And thoughts or CC welcome. I can't buy anything from the store right now as I am saving for vacatioin but I still wanted to participate. I have the fandango in my blood.

[KariQ]

Here is my first attempt at Freestyle Fandango..... :-) I love CC and I'd love to know if you think I achieved freestyle.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123099&cat=2943
:p
From everything I've read here about freestyle goes against all the elements and principles of design which I follow religiously since starting in paper collage years ago. So I don't know if I subconsiously made this non-freestyle....let me know and again, I always welcome CC.

And thank you thank you thank you for making a separate thread each week - this helps organization soo much!

KariQ

[*love2scrap*]

another one of mine with a frame on the photo... I still have to use the obligatory free posting gift doodles but at least I bought them!!! I have one more day, right???? :) my layout dinner with no kids http://http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123141&nocache=1

[paulaoneil]

I hope this is in time my first Fandango!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123221

Got another one in that's doing double duty!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123263&cat=500&ppuser=11546

[Debb Cozzi]

Here are a couple more fandango layouts I came up with today. This first one uses the fun doodle arrows Suzanne gave everyone last week as a posting bonus:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123289&cat=994

This second one uses one of Rene's terrific kits. If you are new to freestyle and are looking for an easy way to start I would encourage you to get one of Rene's kits, combine it with one or more of Suzanne's fonts and you will have yourself a great fandango layout!


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123253&cat=994

[fabfive]

Here's one for me; simple sweet to the point.

I forgot to add the this idea was "scraplifted" but it was before I knew to "credit". Sorry if this is your idea and I'm not giving credit where credit is due!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123302&cat=2943

[mariafer]

I revisited mine after some great cc... I uploaded over the last one so you can't see the original but believe me you aren't missing much. http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=122936&cat=500&ppuser=20407

[*love2scrap*]

ok, this time I really did use the required doodles on photo! it is in the gimme more chats with Lauren at the moment. check it out! old two fingers (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123347&nocache=1)

[Tara]

Okay, so I still haven't made MY freestyle layout but my boyfriend just posted his first layout ever (yes, I'm slowly reeling him in...soon we'll be fighting over who gets to scrap what photo!) and guess what?! I think it applies to this challenge. It may be more graphic than freestyle...but he certainly uses frames!!! So, please go check it out and leave him an encouraging comment. He's been around DSP long enough to know how important comments are!!! :)

Chris' First Layout (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123393)

P.S. He made it as a surprise for me.

[txmusicmom]

Thanks Suzanne for you awesome edges!

"FREE"

[sandygb]

Oh ditto, ditto on the fabulous new posting bonus edges! Thanks Suzanne (and Debb for sending the PMs)!

[moseycat]

I hope this is "fandango": I used Suzanne's Edgy Edges 2. I'm not sure if I've got the idea, but will really enjoy working on it in future challenges!

PS: are the chats on Wednesday or Thursday nights?

[vanillalatte]

Hey, chat is tonight, right? It says 9:00pm in the DSP Calendar, but what time zone is that?

[Tara]

Not super "edgy" but here is my graphic interpretation of this week's freestyle challenge. :)

Friends (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123546&cat=2943)

I acutally I think I like this one a little better...but after I made it, I realized it didn't use the required doodles!

Friends - version 2 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=123552&nocache=1)
