Hi ladies! I’m a bit early today!

The other night, I was inspired by the Font Challenge at My Life and Scrap and I created this LO.  Yup, it’s another photo from my stash but…I think I’m running out of photos here so…

Anyway, the font that we should use for this challenge is called brown bear funk.  I used this font for the word summer and I thought it fit in nicely with the whole page.  What do you guys think?

I Used:
Beach Party by Scrapberry Designs
Fonts: Brown Bear Funk, Jane Austen

Good morning kids!  I’m pretty much up early today because Ate Pacey was looking for my SM post! hehehe :D  It’s not exactly Monday yet but I guess you’re used to having SM up early.  To be honest, I forgot to schedule my post last night and fell asleep with my lappy on…again!  Of course, Twylah went ahead and woke me up so… but I’m rambling again!  Now on to my LO!

I’ve always loved Annie, don’t you? The most popular songs from Annie are Tomorrow and It’s a Hard Knock Life but have you heard of the song You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile?  Well, if you’re a musical movie buff, I’m sure you know what song I’m talking about. hehehe

This song inspired my LO that I call, Never Fully Dressed.  Cute eh?  LOL  Of course, I’ being narcissistic again, but what the hey!

I also used the kit Ready For Sun by Kimi’s Kreations available at MLAS with a few lines of the song as journaling: you are never fully dressed without a smile.

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.
