GC April: Mish Mash Mayhem

[Nicole Young]

Ok....are you ready to bring out your ARTISTIC side this month????? Well....at the last 2 Crazy Chicks Chat we talked about fonts and how they can make or break a layout...picking your font is like picking your shoes! You wouldn't wear brown shoes with a black suit right??? Just like you wouldn't put a fancy flourishy font on a grungy layout! BUT AS ALWAYS there are exceptions to the rule....and this month I want you to take ALL YOU HAVE LEARNED about design concepts and ideas and TOSS THEM OUT THE WINDOW:eek: ....GO CRAZY!!! :yahoo:

Here's what I want to see:
1. A Mish Mash of Fonts (use at least 3 different fonts)
2. Use only ONE photo and edit it in some way....scribble on it, make it black and white, turn it into a dramatic photo like last month
3. Cluster those elements!!!! (use at least 3 different kits---they can be store bought or freebies!!! Element set and backpacks count!! Just mix it up, put stuff together that we might not expect!)
4. (and most importantly!!!!!) HAVE FUN!!!!!!! :yippee:

Post a layout by April 30th at midnight
Post a link to your layout in this thread (double duty layouts are A-okay!!!)
A Random winner will be selected at the end of the month to receive a $3.99 store coupon!!!!

Hey, I needed advance notice of this one....I just did a mish mash for your encore challenge last week...I could easily have added more fonts and a graphic element here and there !!!! Hmmmph!!!!:D. Looking forward to this (if I survive Birthday week)

[ChristineG]

Yay I did one, and the kits I combined were definitely not ones you would automatically put together but a little tweak here and there and they work great!

Guess who is 4? (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=252099)

[emandlivsmom]

OK...don't stone me...but I NEVER think about the font for a LO! <ducking> This will be good for me to play around with them a bit. (O:

[honeymoon]

I dont' know if using a QC counts for this challenge. But here's 16 fonts on one page and 6 kits Age of Aquarius (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=252451&nocache=1).

[sammdc]

adding my self to the mix

[prodigal1978]

I"ll probably do another one cause this just didn't turn out like I wanted...anyway, here's my first

[prodigal1978]

I like this one better. Used 4 fonts this time, duplicated the photo and used blend modes and cropped the fool out of it LOL

[zakirahzakaria]

Cool challenge! I'll try this next weekend. I need to get back to my school assignments. Boy, the deadlines are fast approaching!

[diturpin]

This looks like fun!

[Nicole Young]

The layouts are really cool!!! I love them!!! And yes QCs are just fine!!!

[mariafer]

Here is mine... a total mish mash of kits also... I hope it is graphic enough...

[zakirahzakaria]

[sammdc]

[ChristineG]

I did another one.

Adorable (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=254627&ppuser=62565)

[Roberta T]

Well, I finally did one. I knew it would take a while to do all those fonts so I kind of put it off. Hope you get a laugh. I think you'll all identify. Tempus Fugit (time flies) (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=254714).

Here is mine:

Thanks for the challenge - it was fun!

[scamptx]

Actually, this was for Fandango, but I think it sort of fits here too!

We Read (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=254823)

Hmmm, should have found a couple more fonts and scratched up the photos!

[Cassie-in-Texas]

Here's mine. (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=255215) It just barely qualifies as a hybrid because I did use 3 filters on the photo to make the colors pop and added the wings, but pretty much everything else is "paper & glue" This one's doing double-duty in the IOTW challenge.

[Nicole Young]

I am loving these!!! And dont worry if they "sort of" qualify, I am NOT that picky!!! As long as it "sort of" qualifies, you are all good!!!!! :)

[just-pjz]

LOL! Here's my "sorta" LO. It's doing double-duty with Define Me.
Right Now (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=255257).

[ilv2cruise]

Here's my layout - Jacob on the slide (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=255746&ppuser=61732). He was having so much fun that day, and I had fun doing this layout!

[blackstilletos]

For someone who's new and is probably doing it all wrong anyway, this is perfect lol

[Nicole Young]

For someone who's new and is probably doing it all wrong anyway, this is perfect lol

LOL- yes, it is! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy seeing all the beautiful creations you guys come up with!!

[Nicole Young]

You guys still have plenty of time to get those layouts in this month!!! :)

[cowboy]

[LisasMom]

I don't know if this qualifies or not but I did use three kits and four fonts. I turned one of the photos to sepia tone. The other was already black and white.

[hiccup42]

Wow this looks like fun, can i just jump in?

[gail0423]

Here's one I did for the Everyday Me! challenge for this week. The Double Dare is to use this graphic style for this month - I think I pulled it off if you count the font that Suzi used in her alpha as my third font (the same thing could be accomplished with a font instead of an alpha):

This is who I am (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=256892&ppuser=47914)

[Nicole Young]

Hiccup....of course you can jump right in!! I am so glad you want to!!! :) Hope everyone is enjoying the challenge!!!!

[Klamb1111]
