ALTERED ART
This challenge was hosted by purplesparkly (aka Giggly Polka Dots - one of the designers I work for) Our challenge - a photoless layout, but I snuck in a couple of photos - a lion and a giraffe from my Cameron Park Zoo archive. I blended the lion into a GPD paper, and used the giraffe as paper for my letters ZOO! Love that word art that I made!
Digital Credits:
Background paper - made by me using Giggly Polka Dots THANKFUL FOR FALL paper 11 (used a Time machine photo effect on it to soften the color); a photo of a lion from my collection, a CU grunge mask (NO CREDIT REQUIRED) all merged together!
WordArt - made by me using Jen C Designs IN THE WOODS (leaves), 3 Li'l Monsters Designs ACROSS THE PICKET FENCE (flower); giraffe photo to clip out the letters.
Frame - made by me using KCameron CU Fabric Overlay (one of my staples!!!)

GO FOR THE PINKS (OR BLUES)
This is the monthly color challenge, and it was really a challenge for me since I didn't own any of the kits that were suggested for the color palette
So I had to do a little creative colorizing on what I did have available ...

ORDER UP
This is the challenge that I hosted for DSDI in January (I've been hosting this challenge since July 2011) I did a gallery search, and picked 5 layouts in the gallery. I wrote a description of the layout and that description is what each person receives as their menu for the ORDER UP. I asked the first person who completed the challenge to pick the number for me to do - she picked #1. And this is what I did with this description:
1. Use one solid, one patterned paper as background.
2. Add a single photo cropped as a square.
3. Add a frame on top of the photo but not around the photo.
4. Use on large element to accent the photo.
5. Scatter something under the photo layer.
7. Date in half circle.
At the end of the month I will be posting all of the original layouts, and the participant layouts created by following my descriptions on the ORDER UP Thread in the DSDI forum - be sure to check it out!

RADIOACTIVE (FONT) CHALLENGE
This challenge was hosted by Gail this month, and she picked a font called BREADY as our font for the challenge. Being the FONT ADDICT that I am - of course I had to go get it and try it out. Here's what I did with Bready - the wordart was created with the font in multiple sizes.

SPICE IT UP
This is our embellishment challenge and we were asked to add wintry elements - I love this kit by Two Cute Kids, but had to really search for a photo (I've overused what few snow pix I have from Feb 2010 - hopefully my friends will send me some soon - I don't want to see snow here!!!! I prefer the 70 degree day we are having today 1/22/2012!)

OFF THE LINE
This is the Quote Challenge - we were given a choice and I picked this Louisa May Alcott quote: "Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead!
