Evens and odds at lasting memories

This weeks challenge at lasting memories is to use

an even number of photos and an odd number of embellishments. 

 

I worked in the requirements of this challenge into my current class challenge at Big Picture.

For the left brain challenge we were to group multiple photos of different sizes and orientations on a layout, kind of like a photo collage.  I didn't create it on the computer and print it as I wanted to use the prints I already have.  To achieve the same effect as having printed a photo collage I just mounted all the photos on to white card stock an left a small border.  

 

I used CM happy birthday stack pack and washi tape

As you can see I have 4 photos (even number) and one pin wheel, one journal card, five pennants for a combined total of three types of embellishments.  Tricky 

these pennants were connected to look like the were sewn onto a piece of twine.  I didn't like the funky angle that it did so I cut and paste the way I wanted it.

 

For the right brain challenge at Big Picture

We were to start with a favorite recent photo, determine the date it was taken, then scramble the numbers to create a new date, select a photo from that date and put them both on the same layout while establishing a connection.

 

This was a bit harder as I usually scrap chronologically so I pulled one from were I'm at in my scrap pile which would be April 2012.  I used a photo of me and my girl friends celebrating April's birthday.   Her actual birth is 4/28 but we went out on the 29th so her sister could come.  Anyway the reconfigured date I came up with was 9/24.  The closest event to this date was Hooky weekend.  It's an adult girl scout camp at the end of September. 

here's my layout with the girl friend connection.  The journaling inside the flower goes like this

"scout friends, work friends, but most of all the best of my girl friends"

Again I used even number of photos and odd embellishments.

This time I did cluster of threes.

  Three buttons, three piece of washi tape, and stitching/ embroidery floss

and of course the single flower frame.

 

Hope you been inspired to show us your even and odd creations at lasting memories this week

 

stay tuned for my next  Big Picture assignment-Journaling
