The Groove's (First Ever!) Monthly Freebie Challenge!

[angelwithin]

I had a hard time with this one. They imported as embelishments so I didnt have much freedom, I am still learning new SBM procedures

you did a great job

when the papers export into the embellishments section to use them as paper scraps just click on the paper icon (between the heart & the musical note) > browse > my computer > c drive > program files > scrapbook max > gallery > images > embellishments > kit name ...and you will find the papers here

click on the paper you wish to use > ok > ok

Here's my layout! Love these colors and since I already have the main kit, this freebie makes a great add-on! Thanks a bunch, Grannyscraps!

What a pretty layout this is, Melanie!!! I love the way you've used the B&W pic with these bright colors!!! Thanks for participating and sharing your layout with us!!! {{hugs}}

p.s. so happy you like the kit!!!

[GrannyScraps]

right here is my first go, I like these challenges so I may well have another go

I used this picture not because it was anything special but mainly because the colour matched the blue, it was one that hubby snapped when I was unaware lol

Helen, that's a great pic your hubby caught of you!!! And I really love the way you have used the backgrounds as tiles to frame your page..... great job!!! Thanks for participating and sharing your LO with us!!! {{hugs}}

[GrannyScraps]

This is my first upload - my grandaughter dancing! Still trying to learn all the different ways of using Scapbook Max - love it! Still in the early stages of digital scrapbooking and looking forward to joining in on the Groove challenges!

Jilly, that is such a sweet LO of your granddaughter! I love the way you have made the blue background transparent so the pink flower background shows through..... Great job!!! Thanks for participating in this challenge and sharing your LO with us!!! {{hugs}}

[GrannyScraps]

is it ok if we use the paper squares like this? I have made them into smaller squares almost tile like, not sure if this is ok or we should be using them as bigger or doesnt it matter as such lol...sorry new to all these challenges..anyways this is my husband and daughter, and love this picture black and white but thought that it was a great background for adding some of the lovely spring colours onto

Well, ya know.... I was specific about how you had to use the backgrounds..... LOL..... and I love the way you've used this great pic of your hubby and daughter as the background and then embellished with the colored squares and elements..... really pretty LO.... Thanks for participating and sharing your LO with us!!! {{hugs}}

I'm gonna try this challenge. This makes two this month..Wish me luck girls...Kathie this sample is so beautiful...how could I not try it. Thanks

Go, Tiffany!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing your layout!!! {{hugs}}

[GrannyScraps]

This is the first layout I have published to the gallery. I hope it is okay!

This is a special memory of my husband with his (our) daughter at her wedding this past May. Not only did he give her away, but, he was the minister that performed the ceremony! It was a very special day! This sample was perfect for the theme of her garden wedding with lavender as her main color.

This sample is so beautiful. I love the butterflies! Everyone has done such beautiful work so far!

Here's my LO. I hope I did this right!

This is my daughter, Holly, at 3 years old. I love this picture of her, and Kathie Woolery's blue paper in this kit reminded me of her blue eyes.

Thank you Kathie, for this freebie! I enjoyed using it!

At 3 years old, Holly was such a little doll!! I love the hand-tinted professional pictures like this one.... and using these bright backgrounds and elements really sets it off to perfection! Great job on your layout.... thanks for participating in this challenge and sharing your layout with us!!! {{hugs}}

Made with Kathy Woolery's Freebie.
I kind of put my own spin in it. I used 5 of the elements and the rest are all shapes.

Marion, I love it that your put your own spin on my little challenge.... This is very pretty and I love that you used shapes to create it..... Thanks for participating and sharing your layout with us!!! {{hugs}}

[GrannyScraps]

This is actually the very FIRST time I have entered one of these challenges... so here goes.
Thanks Kathie for such lovely elements to work with

Wow, Deanne! This is just lovely..... it looks so soft and ethereal.... Thank you for using my mini-kit for your FIRST challenge and thank you for sharing this layout with us!!! {{hugs}}

[GrannyScraps]

I've never done a layout on my own, I've only used the premade templates. I like some of the others better than mine.

Using pre-made templates is great, but you're off to a great start creating your own templates!!! I really like the way you have reduced the opacity on some of the background and used them as photo mats..... your use of the floral and butterly embellishments made it a fun LO and I love it that you have identified everybody in the photos!!! Thanks for participating in this challenge and sharing your LO with us!!! {{hugs}}
