Sunday, 05/12 - VSBN Challenge 1 & 2 - My Mother Always Said

[Lmn]

Welcome to our May 2013 VSBN - My Mother Always Said ...
This week, we'll chuckle over the fun things we remember our Mom and Grandma were always reminding us to do.
We'll also get some scrapping done with some fun inspiration!

Link your pages back to this thread so we can all ooohh and aaahhhh over the fun scrapbook pages we're getting done

May13VSBN1A - My Mother Always Said ...
FASHION MOM-ISM #1
Mother says: “Are you going out dressed like that?”
Translation: Go change.

the dutiful child will go change.
- Be dutiful, go subtle. Let’s try a simple, 1-3 pictures, monochromatic layout.

the wild child will show mother what change really means.
- Go wild. Grab a piece of your wildest paper, a paper you wouldn’t imagine
using as a background or stamp a background page or papers, and use it on the background.

Upload by Monday, 05/20/13. Be sure to use Key Word May13VSBN1A for this challenge.

May13VSBN2B - My Mother Always Said ...

FASHION MOM-ISM #2
Mother says: “Never wear white after Labor Day!”
Translation: I’m tired of bleaching.

- the dutiful child will embrace color.
Try making a layout without any white on it. Create your own “white
space” without one drop of white.

- the wild child dons every article of white she owns.
Make a layout that is predominately white? All shades of white count

Good things come to those who wait! These challenges are generic enough that I can do them! Time to dig through the photos.....

[muzbysmom]

Guess it's just me who had no plans for today! At any rate - here's my page for the first challenge. I chose to go neutral. It's a picture taken of my grand daughter at Cabela's (or was it Bass Pro??)..

I chose to use color but I'm not sure what's meant by white space so I'm not so sure I have any but.......
