T42 Challenge 16th - 23rd August

[Meryl]

For our challenge this week we decided to do pages which combined the look of a paper scrapped page with digital techniques. I always enjoy doing pages like this and I am sure you will enjoy it too :)

You certainly don't have to use them but I have 2 new products especially made for this type of page A Space to Blend Quick Click (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6297) and A Space to Blend PlopperPlus (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6296.html).

Some examples of pages done in this way - FormbyGirl's I Do So Love You Mum (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208120&si=meryl&what=allfields&whenterm=w), my Granny's Yellow Wash-Up Gloves (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=207848&cat=500&ppuser=24) , The Gentle giants (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=202843&cat=500&ppuser=24), The Lions of Etosha (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=202612&cat=500&ppuser=24) - I know there are other good examples in the galleries, please post links to any you find.

Do give it a try - I am sure you will enjoy doing them & be thrilled with the results :)

well - I'm going to do one with the new QC using Meryl's kits, but I did this with one of her older QCs that I just love - well, I used the plopper plus on both pages, but the second page I modified to give it a slightly different look.

I also did this one of my mother using the new QC, but I did it for Tina's challenge, so it is using one of her kits, but I like the way the QC works with it:

I Do So Love You Mum (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208120&cat=500&ppuser=77821)

And this for Linda's Challenge
Nanny and Gokey's Sunflowers (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=209032&cat=500&ppuser=77821)

This one for the Heritage challenge (and this one uses Meryl's kits as well)
The Pleasureland Train (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208807&cat=500&ppuser=77821)

These two were for Bethy's Caffeinated Mojo challenge and I scraplifted one of Meryl's QCs
3 kids and Flowers (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208548&cat=500&ppuser=77821)
3 kids (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208541&cat=500&ppuser=77821)

And this wasn't for any challenge - just because it looked so great with Meryl's QC

Cathie - I will move the one's to the gallery that should be part of the vote if I can - if not, don't worry. It's not about the votes - it's about how much fun I had doing them.

Here is my page which was inspired by Meryl's sample page done for her new QC:

Wedding Shoes (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208336&cat=2621)

[sammdc]

here is kinda mine combination of digital and paper scrapping http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208369&cat=2621

[Meryl]

I have just uploaded a page which is very special to me - don't know why but I always love it - I think the message it holds most of you will identify with!

Where have all the years gone? (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=24)

I was so very thrilled to see Sandy's fabulous scraplift of it (she got it from the sample LO in the kit) - do take a look, if you have not already seen - Wedding Sneakers (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208336&cat=2621)

Here is my layout using A Space to Blend QC and Meryls New York New York Kit (also available on on the DSP Scraps of Fun Destination USA CD) - Gotcha! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208808&cat=2621)

Here's mine. Without being at the chat and getting all the details of what was expected, I'm not sure I got it right, but here's my stab at mixing digital and paper-look scrapping. (I think I did a better job of that with my Presque Isle LO.) My page is called Cowgirl (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208876). Thanks, Helene, for sharing that great font!! :)

Our challenge this next week is to do a Paper Style Page - you will find an article here (http://www.digitalscrapbookplce.com/university/articles/handscrappedauthenticity_sjs.shtml) which will help - take a look around the tutorials (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/tutorials.shtml) and articles (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/articles.shtml) here at DSP - they are a treasure trove :)

~ See this thread (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25298) for general guidelines

[sandygb]

OMG...Thank you Meryl and T42 gals!!! I was really surprised when I got a note from Susang to let me know I was one of the winners this morning. Thanks so much everyone!!

I just uploaded two layouts for the paper scrapping challenge. I managed to get all of my kids looking at the camera to do the Siblings (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=209793&cat=2621) layout. The second layout, My Happiness (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=209792&cat=2621), probably fit better for last week's challenge - a mix of paper and digital scrapping. These were fun. Thanks, Meryl!! :tup:
