Week 2 – January 12 to January 18 – Simon Says
This is a Bonus Challenge Week – in other words, I’m nominating a kit for you to use.
I have given you two Bonus Challenge kits to choose from Traveling On (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8130) or Sweet As Apple Pie (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9109). Just choose one to scrap with and if you don’t already have either of these you can purchase them by clicking the links. Remember you don’t have to use the nominated kits you can use any of our great DSP products. BUT if you want to get the free bonus you do have to use the nominated kit.
Note: I will accept a small amount of other DSP product with either of the nominated kit but the LO has to be predominantly the nominated kit :-)
Instructions:
Choose a ‘vintage’ photo of a women/s only, original photo MUST be in sepia or B&W tones only, no colour on it. If you don’t have any family heritage/vintage photos take a look here (http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/vintageresources.html) please credit any photo/site you use that isn’t your own stock. All stock on the site link I have given you is free to use for personal use.
You can either:
re-colour the whole photo with the chosen colour or
spot colour a part of the photo, for instance if the women is wearing a hat, gloves etc re-colour that/those portions only – NOTE: If you choice to spot colour have the rest of you photo sepia or B&W if it isn’t already.
ALL nominated kit/s LO’s HAVE to be placed in Erica’s Lucky Dips Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/showgallery.php?cat=6498) or if you are not using this kit it can do extra duty somewhere else but I will need a link to your LO in this forum.
If you’re not using the nominated kit/s, you can use ANY DSP kit/elements, freebies or from your current stash (must only be DSP products)
Please vote on the colour theme you’d like to use, there are 4 choices and the one with the most votes by Midnight Sunday 11 January will be this week’s colour theme. If no theme is voted for I will be Simon this week and say what colour we’ll use :)
What this means is that we will create a layout using one of the following based on your poll
Reds (includes all shadings down to pink)
Greens (all shades)
Yellows (all shades)
Blues (all shades)
Depending on the polled choice, please follow the required instructions as noted above.

If anything is not clear please just ask any questions here file:///C:/Users/Riki/AppData/Local/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_image001.gif
I'm looking forward to seeing your layouts for this weeks challenge and I hope you enjoy playing along.
I would love to hear of any theme/s you might like to try here, I'll place it in the Simon Says barrel and then have a poll and the most voted on will be the next months Simon Says weekly theme and you can also help run it or not, that's up to you.
Some really simple rules:
Please use only DSP products or only the Traveling On or Sweet As Apple Pie Kit if you want to be eligible for this week’s free exclusive bonus
NO - Ploppers and QC’s for this weeks challenge
Journaling or themed title would be nice but you don’t have to or make something up if it’s not your photo
Your LO can do double/triple duty as long as you put a link in this forum, especially if you intend to do all four challenges. (How will I know to include you in the draw otherwise)
Exception to the above, if you do the Bonus Challenge by using the nominated kit/s the LO HAS to go into Erica’s Lucky Dips Gallery
Please comment generously on other member’s layouts in this challenge. I know I don’t really need to ask you that because you’re all so good at it anyway.
Have fun with this challenge...
