As you may already know, the 5th Monday of the month at Let's Get Sketchy is always a little bit different. There isn't a sketch involved, but a fun challenge is offered. This month the challenge is a "Not So Picture Perfect" layout. Find a photo that you have taken that may be blurry, dark, or overexposed and not what you call perfect quality. We all have them and we just can't bear to part with them because of the memory involved.
The photo I found is one of the first photos I took with my cell phone. The lighting is awful, but I love it. I am thankful for this challenge and that it nudged me to go ahead and create a layout with the not so stellar photo. Here's my layout:
For this layout I pulled a few products out that I had received in kits that I had purchased but never used, as well as a couple of newer products thrown in here and there. Simple and easy, and I'm happy with the result. I hope you will join us for this challenge. You will be so glad you did!
Happy New Year to you and your families. I hope that 2013 will be your best year yet! Thanks for all your kind words, your support and your friendship! You are all the best!!!
Loveeeeeeeeee this!!! LOVING the colors and loving how you framed it!! And loving your new bloggy look!!!
ReplyDeleteCute page. Perfect is so overrated!
ReplyDeleteaside from the photo which is still good.. i love the colours the layers and accents.. amazing page.
ReplyDeleteLove it! And the colors are fabulous! You sure can make a "not so perfect photo" look perfect. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteI love how you framed the photo. Such a cool background too. I just took a photo for New Year's that didn't turn out great so thank you for the challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteawesome layout and love the wire backgroud, really showcases the photos! happy new year to you too :)!!
ReplyDeleteI really ADORE the way you stamped and the not so perfect photo is still a treasure because of the super cute subjects. Happy New Year Debbie!
ReplyDeleteGreat page Debbie, and I love the photo you used for the challenge! The little frame is so fun and I love the chicken wire pattern in the background!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your layout is awesome! Love the stamping and colors! The polaroid frame over the photo is a perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the from to draw attention in to their faces. Great color choices!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great prompt! You really rocked the "not so perfect" picture. I am not sure one planned and perfectly lit would have the same youthful feel. The faces are amazing and the design really points to the photo. Love it! You are a gift and your grandchildren will never doubt how much they were treasured. Happy New Year friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea, Debbie! I have so many photos that fit the bill perfectly :)! LOVE your design, especially the way you've drawn our eyes in with that fun Polaroid! And the split title is uber fun!
ReplyDeleteLove how you framed the focus of the photo! It works out perfectly.
ReplyDeleteDebbie I think we should all scrap these photos - most of my best memories and not "perfect" photos. We can't all be fortunate enough to live in a portrait studio after all! My problem is usually weird stuff in the background. Love your layout, you did an amazing job.
ReplyDeleteI love your layout! I really like the frame inside the picture! Super cute! Hope you had a great New Year!
ReplyDeleteI looove the frame on the photo. What a great idea :)
