Fandango Challenge 1/22-28/07

[SuzanneCWalker]

I loved doing the freebie up front when we did the challenge a couple weeks ago, so let's try that again!!!

Here is your inspiration piece. And I say that with MUCH meaning. I want you to be INSPIRED by this - don't just use it to flip a photo into... Change it, alter it, add to it, take from it... Use it as whim and instinct tell you! Download by clicking on the image here:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/835/05_O_VictorianEdge.jpg (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/05_O_VictorianEdge.zip)

Complete a FLIMFLACKING FREESTYLE layout and post to the gallery before Sunday 1/28/07 at midnight eastern.

That is your mission - be inspired! :) :)

[honeymoon]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thinking hard on what I want to do with it.

[PurdueLiz]

Ooooh, sweet. Already have a few ideas popping in my head. Can't wait to go play!

[joannknnrd]

I was sooooo waiting for our next challenge! Thanks Suzanne!

[PurdueLiz]

Ok, here's my first one!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=159497&page=0

I've got a couple other ideas I'm playing with, but need more time to search for the perfect photos and papers for it. I've got a photo class in about 2.5 hours, so unfortunately I don't have much more time to play right now.

On this one, I just recolored sections of the overlay, then added an inner bevel to the whole thing once that was done. I also added bevel to the word COLORED to give it added impact.

[bunnynose]

Here's mine with the beautiful overlay.

[mom2bsa]

Here is my submission for this week's Fandango Challenge. I took a portion of the overlay, copied it, rotated it and then made another transparent overlay from the design.

Comments are welcome!

This is a great overlay and a wonderful challenge. Here is my try at your challenge.

[isshinryu_mom]

I saw the overlay in the freebie gallery before I saw this challenge so I'd already done a layout with it. How much easier could it get to make a kickin' layout than this???? I'll try and do a more "Fandango-ish" one but I just wanted to post this to say thanks for the gorgeee-ous overlay! You rock, Suzie!

[honeymoon]

Not sure if this is fandango, but it was fun.

Thanks Suz for the beautiful overlay.

[dilorf]

I'll be back for this one, I'll promise. :)

[Jill W]

Allrighty Rudy ... Here's my attempt at the current Fandango-Filled challenge.

CC is welcomed ... please!

Thank you!!

{Bet you all wish I'd find another subject to photograph and scrap, eh? Sorry, Nathan is the youngest member of our family at this point ... until I become a grandma that won't change ... it will be a number of years until I hear a little voice calling for "grandma" ... (I hope I hope! LOL!)

[joannknnrd]

Well here's mine! Because this is Fandango, I can use obnoxiously large shadows, right? LOL! I just wanted to do something fun, bright and bold!

This is probably in the wrong place, but I redid mine for Trendy Spaces...turned it into 2 LO's:

This overlay was just super to work with, thanks Suzanne! Here's my LO:
Poor Sad Baby Girl (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=159800&cat=500&ppuser=8098). TFL. LOVE THIS FANDANGO!! :tup:

[peeweeperkins]

Here's my first try at the Fandango Challenge - quite interesting I must say. I love the freebie. I am working with PSPX and I couldn't get it to change color except that I was able to give it a negative image (hence the white color). Anybody know how to change the color of this type of overlay in PSP? Anyhow, here it is: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=159839&cat=2943

[dilorf]

I can't change colors on this overlay.. What I'm doing wrong? (I use PS CS2)

I't a lovley Overlay but I want to try it in color. :) And the fact that I can't is bothering me... :D

[Whisper Pink]

Well...I have been watching Kara aka MommySpice doing this Fandango thing and kept getting inspired to try it...well I think I failed...it didn't come out Fandango at all... :( ... on the bright side, I got another LO (actually 2 LO's) done!!! gonna have to try this again after I read more closely the links Kara gave me on this style...but here are my links to what I did do with the overlay...hope it is ok I posted it to the Fandango Gallery...It is what I was trying to do!!!

[jackie123]

spotty i love your layout-I am a horse lover and dogs too.Pretty neat.

[zzeno36]

I know a really easy way to color it. Since it is alreay a separate layer, go to the icon in the layers palette and hit Contol and the click on the icon. That should place marching ants around the entire selection. Then, select the color you want to fill it with. If it's your foreground color, hit Control Backspace; if you want to fill it with the background color, hit Alt Backspace. If you want to make the color a little darker, just hit it again. Hope this works for you. There is a different technique if you want to fill it with a paper or texture.

Well, here's my Fandango dance for this week...:):dance:

This is a picture from one of the first summers my BF and I were together...Our first Camping trip :)

I Love the photo and it just felt so peaceful floating on the lake...

You are my Peace (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=159812&cat=500&ppuser=31669)

I didn't do as much 'inspirational' stuff with the edges as I expected, but I list what I did in the Credits/Description section.

Thanks so much for the great Edges to work with! I loved them!

[Victoria]

Here is my LO for this challenge. Thanks for looking. Any suggestions for improvements always welcome.

Thanks again Suzanne. I love this and hope to participate each week that I can!

Pat

[moseycat]

Here is my submission with Suzanne's Victorian edges overlay. Lots of fun to play with. Definitely looking for feedback. I used filters on the photo for a dreamy look, and used gradients on the overlay. I also can't decide if the second shadowy photo is more of a distration than an addition, so comments on that would be helpful! TFL!

Another from me:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160006&cat=2943

I really like giving this a metallic look with the inner bevel. I also dodged the layer once it was in place.

Thanks Suz for another fantastic starter!

[velvetShimmer]

I can't change colors on this overlay.. What I'm doing wrong? (I use PS CS2)

I't a lovley Overlay but I want to try it in color. :) And the fact that I can't is bothering me... :D

I changed the colour by going to the layer blending options and giving it a colour overlay...then it can be changed to whatever colour you want :tup:

[cheecheongfun]

HELP.............my layout has been replaced with a LO i dont recognised...who has the right to make the changes??? can someone help...........explain. http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=156386&cat=500&ppuser=13309

This is one of those flukey things that just sometimes happens. I've got the same thing happening with one of my Preserving Everyday layouts. My lounge layout keeps getting replaced by Webfrau's one. No matter how many times I reload it.

I think the only way to fix it is to delete the layout and then start again. Unfortunately this means you lose the comments.

Would love to know if there's a better way.

[dilorf]

Ok.. Now I'm suprised! That picture is mine.. How did that appear on your place?? :think:
It's not what I expected, really. :)

[cheecheongfun]

Tks dilorf for coming forward to claim the LO. i thot it was a virus. ya i too wondered how this could hv happended. I was shocked at first and thot it's kinda of funny to have a baby LO and comments abt kitty...now I can smile away my fear that someone might hv access into my gallery. I hv changed my password :)

[gail0423]

This happened once to me too, its not a password issue, it's probably because you both gave your photo the same name and the system didn't automatically rename it at upload (normally it would add something to the end...i.e. fandango.jpg, then fandango1.jpg etc.)

I sent in an email - can't remember to who :confused: and they fixed it, but you might try giving it a new name with something totally different and that might work. When we tried reuploading ours with the same names we just kept overwriting the other's photo....it was a hoot, but very frustrating. I just didn't want to delete that one.

I try now to give my upload files names taht no one else would pick. I've seen a few people tacking their user name to the end of the file and have often thought that was a great idea.

[cheecheongfun]

tks i resaved the LO in another name and reload it. it works....I got my kitty back. thot i am going to hv to delete that LO with all those precious comments. problem now is i got my kitty LO back but this layout of a baby..now is showing my kitty. seemed like we are linked..???

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=159920&cat=2943

[dilorf]

cheecheongfun! Want to hear something funny? Or not?
Look here at my picture now.. :)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=159920&cat=500&ppuser=7306

something is VERY wrong here...

[cheecheongfun]

dilorf - oh dear now you baby LO has been replaced with my kitty. when u read the comments it kind of funny..when it says sweet baby...but it showed a lo of a kitty. hope someone could help us....i didnt want to lose all my 40 over comments from that LO. :(

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=159920&cat=500&ppuser=7306

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=156386&cat=500&ppuser=13309

the above links seemed to be linked together.

[dilorf]

Yes!! Or Not! I renamed my file again and uploaded it, so now it seems to be my picture in both places again. :(

Both this time, and the last, my file was called something with "dilorf" So it shouldnt be this problem..

Totaly strange...

[SuzanneCWalker]

Oh, darn, girls, I thought the problem had been fixed!!! So sorry!! :) I love both your layouts, though!!!!!!!!!!!!

[~sarah~]

i missed the last fandango :( i am going to try and get on to this one tonight :) thanks suzanne for such awesome challenges :)

[cheecheongfun]

dilof : i changed the name of the LO a few times, since it does not works I thot i moved it away from the fandango gallery it might help, but after i moved my LO to another gallery it seemed now your babay LO is gone, replaced by a blank. gosh..i really dont know what happened.

[mommabyrd2003]

I've been lurking in the Freestyle Fandango long enough, so here is Pumkin Family (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160827&cat=2943) which is my first offical attempt at an Fandango layout.

I actually downloaded the overlay before looking at the challenge. I was digging through my edges looking for something to use on this LO and found this one. It reminds me of pumpkin vines - only because pumpkins were on my mind at the time.

CC is welcome and wanted, since this is like I said my first attempt to do the Fandango.

[the3chickens]

I'm so stinky at it I should really just give up trying to freestyle LOL But it IS a lot of fun (hair pulling & headbanging is sorta fun :D :D :D) This time I thought I'd play it smart and lift Stacey42's awesome LO. Well, she didnt pull me up, I pulled her down :D :D :D My 2-pager (both lifts): Sweet Baby of Mine (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160979&cat=2943)

Was there ever a vote for this one and did I miss it?

[mom2bsa]

I'm not sure. This was the first Fandango Challenge I entered. I remember seeing a vote for the previous week and decided that I'd enter.

[SLavigne]

I downloaded the Victorian Edge. This is my first overlay how do I change it like you said. I must admit I did just put photos in it and I like it that way. But I'm always up to trying something new.

[jodyangel]

I missed it!!!!!! *pouts*
Well Im working right now but when I get a day off I'll still try the challenge lol.
