The Battle of the Creative Teams at DigiscrapAddicts.com is coming to a close!  I was just soooo excited last week when the Round 1 Challenge was open that I forgot to blog about it!

Anyway, our team Merkeley’s Menagerie has joined the competition!  There are 5 of us girls and each of us had to make a LO based on the current challenge.

The Round 1 Challenge is:

Since this is the first week, we thought we’d go easy on ya! Your challenge this week is:

White Space

Quote:
“White space is nothing. It breaks up text and graphics. It provides visual breathing room for the eye. Add white space to make a page less cramped, confusing, or overwhelming.”
-about.com

Make a white space (or negative space) layout.

Easy, huh? Not so much! Your team layouts must have a common color theme (examples: black and white; monochromatic; red, white and blue…).

Optional: For all you over-achievers out there, see if you can come up with a common theme or topic for your team to scrap, as well!

Our team chose the elements of our team as follows:

Color theme: Brown and Blue (brown background with at least one blue element)
Subject theme: A Sweet Memory and the title should reflect the subject in some way (sweet memory, wonderful memory, memories, Memory to Remember, I’ll Always Remember, etc).
Use of a Sepia/monochromatic photo

And so…uhmm with me loving white space and doing a few white space LOs, I decided to make my LO very, VERY simple.  Of course, it’s also a very sweet memory.
