Well in that case...

Here's a head start on next month's challenge!

The color swatch! (and I am happy to say, Marion, NO PINK!)

And a tiny peek at the starter kit from Steve!

Can anyone have a go at the challenges? what are the rules?

[twx]

Yes! Anyone can have a go....

Julie posts the challenge and gives us some general guidelines. We all have fun with it. The challenges were weekly and this month it was for the month. You might look at the past challenges and posts.....

We are all looking forward to February! I like the colors....

I Love The February Blue!!!

Goodness, too bad January and February was switched regarding the colors..... LOL. So maybe each month have a different swatch of colors??? Hummmmm, maybe greens in March for St Patty's Day!

Julie, I do like the challenges! It's a great learning tool for sure. I personally found the major challenge in January was working with BIG FILES and having to figure out how to decrease them.

I wonder what others found to be the biggest challenge in January.... We know working with all the PINK was also a big challenge.

Oooooo I love these colors. Can't wait for February. I loved January's challenge. We ended up with a beautiful kit and many templates. What more could you ask for. I loved January's colors too---but I have a boy and a girl.

I just posted a template in the gallery yesterday in blue an yellow. It turned out real nice and the green with it gives all kinds of possibilities!

Looking forward to it!

I'm sort of new in these parts, but I save all my layouts in the program file, then export them all as JPGs to another file, then have a third file where I downsize everything for web use with a free program downloaded off the next called InfranView. You can make thumbnails with it as well.

Hope that helps someone with the sizing madness somehow?

Okay, so I'm not sure how to do the thumbnail thing yet on the posts, but here's my shot with the pics.

Thinking on Marion's challenge of using the color pallette with boys...see what you think? I also wanted to use the "color swatch" as an element. That was fun. I got rid of the heavy pink blocks and added pics there instead. No real elements or templates so to speak...yet. But, got that far tonight! Thanks for looking.

This was a wonderful challenge, Julie! Everyone learned new things and we have a very large kit and set of pages now.
I love the colors for next month! That will be sooo much fun to work with. My thanks to Steve for the kit he is providing!

I love it! Now, can you post a template so we can all use it?

[sacannon]

Love the February colors. I agree with the idea of co-ordinating the colors each month with a Holiday or special day within the month

[juliehclark]

36 pages of posts! that's one for the books!

last chance to have a go at this one!

i will be taking down the links when i put the new challenge up. (the stuff that people added will stay, but the original kit will come down)

i'd love to hear from folks and know if anyone made good use of all the layouts and made a book?

I never finished this one because my January Challenge folder with these paper creations got deleted some how. So I've finished this today to get it out of the project folder!! Love Annie!! She loved to eat!! Her favorite food was bologna.
