Third Challenge of 2010The third challenge of 2010 has been set! But it's a puzzling one... "Isn't growing up a puzzle? Isn't somehow growing old with a mind that still feels young an even bigger one?
The third challenge of 2010 is a puzzling one. Vanessa sent me this lovely layout using puzzle pieces so effectively, I thought perhaps you would like to try making a page with puzzle pieces on it somewhere this time. (Thank you, Vanessa! I am really pleased to have a piece of your lovely work to inspire people with!) There's a place for you to show your challenge entry at the bottom of the page. Scroll down to see! Notice how Vanessa has used the puzzle pieces to give the photo itself an interesting tweak? I think this technique really conveys a mood and adds movement to her page. She has used more puzzle pieces for her title. I really like the effect of this against her white space. Even though the people in the photo are female, there is not a flower in sight on the page! The puzzle pieces are enough embellishment here, don't you think? My eyes are really drawn to the figures in the photo because of the way Vanessa has used her puzzle pieces. You do not need a puzzle punch to make your layout. Remember you can always draw your pieces freehand on the reverse side of your photo or cardstock before cutting them out. When you freehand it, you can decide how large or small to make your pieces. And you can take in certain parts of the photo by drawing a template around features you want to cut out. Try making a puzzle template with vellum so you can see where the piece's lines will fall before you cut them out. Oh and by the way, you do not have to make a layout this time if you would rather make a card or a 3-d papercraft project or an ATC or two or three. As long as your project has a puzzle piece on it, you will have fulfilled the challenge! So go ahead and start crafting! I hope you are inspired to join in on the third challenge of 2010. I'm looking forward to seeing what you will make. Did You Take Part in the CyberCrop?Do you have a project or two you created for this crop? Share it!
