June 08 Designer Challenge Featuring - Granny

[KPierce]

Here is mine. I used three of the provided tiles. Then I liked Eye's orange lattice so much I modified it slightly and created a tile <I asked Eye first. Thanks Eye.> and used it to create a beautiful frame. I thought the color fit the challenge and I love lattice look. It worked great. I could learn to like tiles very much.

The flower was from the Grove challenge hosted by Carena. The corner is from Trevor's treasure kit. The car is a freebie from a website listed in the "favorites sites for Scrapbook Max!-ers". I also have attached the lattice tile I made from Eye's work. The wordart is Elegant Wordart.

I didn't put a wedding photo in my layout as I only have one from my wedding and I couldn't scan it, but what is more romantic than a beautiful sunset

My sister-in-law, Jean. Thanks, Granny for the challenge.

[Granny]

Great job, girls. I love these pages. You are all getting the sense of the challenge. Tiles can be used as backgrounds, borders, lace, frames, corners, paper scraps, etc.

Glad you're having fun!!

Wondering...

In the Gallery there is a section for Groove Newsletter contests. I was wondering why none of the monthly Groove challenge pages make it there any more? It would sure be easier to see all the work and pages. Curious minds...you know.

[O2BNGdHope]

Sorry, I'm just in the habit of sending them all to the member galleries. I forgot about the Groove challenge gallery.

I don't think it is something we can do unless someone else sets up that area for "receiving" our pages so to speak. Not sure. Latest group I see in there is Feb. but prior to set it was not consistent either looks like <maybe>. Really not sure, just guessing and asking.

Now that I asked, I looked and I am pretty sure I had a page in the Feb challenge and I did not get / put my page in that group ...<sigh> so maybe that is why they don't create those special groups anymore. We didn't all use them.

Decided to do one more...

Our Wedding Day

I could not resist your challenge Estee, especially as I had just had my wedding negatives transferred to digital. Here is a little something I did using your tiles - recoloured the background tile to try to bring it to a close match for the gold in my bodice. If there are any bits and pieces that anyone would like from this, let me know and I will gladly put them up.

[KPierce]

I would love the recolored tile. That color is gorgeous. I could never get that myself and why bother <LOL> you did it so good.

I would love the border around the frame if that can be shared.

Thanks. The LO is beautiful.

As an inexperienced tile user <but learning fast because I have learned to love them>, tiles at first seem kind of ....dare I say ugly <to me>. But then when you actually use them it is an ah-ha moment. Like WOW. Thanks Granny for the challenge.

Bits and Bobs

I only recoloured one tile, but I did it two different shades.

If you can use a plugin programme called Cybia Colourworks with your programme, this is what I used to achieve the different colour effects.

Lace Border

The lace border I created from a small lace pattern from Gerlinda Creations that I got in a tutorial download. The original laces are free to share with credit being given. To create my border I used a plugin called Mura's copies to replicate the piece of lace and then used the Kaleidoscope settings in my PSP programme to reshape it into a square. Now I don't know if you can do this with the programme you are using, but I used the original square lace (weddinglace2) to frame my picture by creating a 120pixel selection around the picture and copying and pasting the lace into the selection. In case this is not possible for you I have supplied a rectangular version as well, and the original little piece of lace as it is very pretty just on it's own.
