First I'm so glad that I finished my 4th Winter Marathon for the Gold! I have many funny stories through the years during these marathons. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work but it wonderful chatting with everyone and getting to know each of you not only through your creative layouts but also by learning about each other. I did somethings that I hadn't down before they speedscrap with is great for me.
We'll my 3 favorite layouts are as follows:
Aurora - SS #158
I'm really proud of how fast I had to cluster this layout. I started out with "X" and "O" everywhere on the template and transformed it to flowers and leaves. I'm really proud how my clustering has advanced over time...sometimes I cluster to much but this time I feel it was required and turned out great.
Kadani Village - Observation Area - SS #165
I don't take many night photos and definitely don't scrap many night layouts so this was a challenge for me. This is one of my favorite photos from our visit to Kadani Village and I just had no idea how to scrap it. I was really pleased with the title and the alpha and font look as well as the brush work I used which is definitely out of my comfort zone as well. I don't do brushes...scares me.
Dug and Russell - SS #170
I really wanted to scrap Dug and Russell and I'm a big fan of LOTS of photos so when this challenged called for any character and no limited on photos I started hunting a template and started getting to work. I love the frame work and the Grape Soda element as my stand out iconic item in the layout. Definitely pops on the layout because nothing else is that color as well.
It was a great marathon and I look forward to next year being just a fabulous!
