Challenge #65 - Symmetry

Hi all. Keeping busy during this busy season??

This week's challenge is to use SYMMETRY on your creation.

Webster's defines Symmetry as:

1: balanced proportions; also : beauty of form arising from balanced proportions

2: the property of being symmetrical; especially :correspondence in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line or median plane or about a center or axis

My card is completely "symmetrical" except the title text. That would have been hard to do!!

C'mon- share your symmetrical creations please!!

Lynne

I have not done much scrapping at all this December. I apologize. However, I love a symmetircal look to a layout so I went back to an old layout I had done a few years back. Hope you like it.

Barb

I love symmetry too. On this layout my pictures sizes and placement are very symmetrical.

Joy

Challenge #64- Office supplies

Hello there you crafty types,

The staring of a new week means it's time for a new challenge here at UYS.

This week we are challenging you to use things that you might see in the office; paper clips, tabs, staples, maybe even notebook paper or some computer generated journaling.

Let's check out what the creative team made this challenge......

Joy

Barb
I don't raid our home office very often for supplies, but I should do it more often. There's lots in there I could be using. On my layout I used my husband's PTouch labeller, and I did the journaling on clear mailing labels and put it onto the journaling square.

#63 Project Spotlight

Thanks to those who participated in the Retro Challenge last week. Check out this great card by Danie May. I love that great retro image she used as well as all the pearls. Great job, Danie.
You can find more of her work here on her blog.

#63 - Going Retro

Hello everyone. Can you believe December is here already? If you're like me, you tend to put your creative self on the back burner. This year I'm hoping to still play around a bit when time allows.

In an effort to keep the creative juices flowing, the challenge this week is all about going retro. Create a project using older pictures, using some of the amazing retro themed product lines out there, or just by using old-school stuff in your stash.

For my project I used a line from the Prima Reflections Collection. I also used a photo of my grandmother surrounded by all her grandchildren circa 1962 - I just happen to be the baby on her lap.

Have fun with this challenge. I can't wait to see your finished projects. Don't forget to come back here and link them up.

Lynne

It has been a busy week for me, so I dug into my files and pulled up this old layout

I had of my parents and my oldest daughter back in 1987.

Joy

Bronwyn

I love product by Echo Park. They always update and tweak classic retro style. I used some of their papers and embellishments to create this double layout about my only daughter.
