Post subject:  How to's from the March '12 Room Challenge

These are how my LO's were created from the pics for the challenge
Room 1
Image


Here a new background was created for the photo by cutting out the figure
Image


By painting matching colours, it can tone down a busy paper, and by using shading, it can create depth so here I've moved from an orange through to white.
Image


Placing spots under the 'swing' like My Mind's Eye: Miss Caroline:
yelllow doily, flower, Blue 'Happy' Doily, Ribbon Date Sticker gives it depth too and brings focus to the photo.
Image
MME Miss Caroline
Howdy Doody 'Baby' Lacey Paper (orange reverse side)
Howdy Doody 'Beautiful' Whitewash Paper(blue reverse side)
Howdy Doody 'Beautiful' Roses Paper (floral)
Lost and Found Christmas Trim


Room 2
Image

I just love hexagons! (made a cardboard stencil from a maths site online) I've picked up the shape and some of the colour here :P
Image


And I've used three stickers layered over each other to make the sign
Miss Caroline: bottom yellow label, squarish label, 'such a happy day' label
Image

MME
Miss Caroline:
Dolled Up 'Favorite' Decorate Paper (weathered board flower paper)
Dolled Up 'Favorite' Madras Paper (Blue reverse side)
Stella and Rose:
Decorative Brads (do a search for 'decorative brads' and it will bring them all up)
Mabel 'Love' Trinkets (butterfly)
Gertie 'Delightful' Trim


Room 3
Image

Used the design of the vertical shape here, so the fabulous MME Miss Caroline's Fiddlesticks 'Story' Farmhouse Paper was great! I've picked up some colour with the photo and embellies
Image


Each panel is cut out.
Image


And strung like a fence going under and over with the string
Image


Using Miss Caroline's Dolled Up Day Butterfly Paper cut out some of the little butterflies (this is an inexpensive way to always have butterflies for you scrapping if you dont mind cutting out!)
Wrapping some black fibre (or the like) around the butterfly can give definition and some little antenae :wink:
Image


Adding buttons creates some colour too Miss Caroline Dilly Dally and Lost&Found Rose Love Buttons
Image
Miss Caroline:
Dilly Dally 'Best' Checkered PaperBackground Paper (reverse side)
Dolled Up 'Princess' Lace Paper Pink mount for the photos (reverse side)
Fiddlestickes 'Love' Journal Paper (Noteworthy journal block)
So Sophie red alpha
[color=#BF0000]

Wow Mandy - these are AMAZING - your work just blows my mind with how differently you can use papers that I tend to just cut into sqaures - these are stunning!
