Arty Pants DT Comp Layouts

So, I decided to enter the Arty Pants search, for new DT members, a couple of weeks ago. I like to have the challenges set so I actually do some scrapping, and here are the first two week's entries. The images are a bit dodgy as I left finishing off my layouts to just hours before deadline so had to photograph them inside, with unnatural light - really not great.

Week 1 : Was to be do a layout inspired by an ad out of an 'Inside Out' mag.

Week 2 : This was called a 'mixed bag' challenge. Had to use at least 2 pp's that AP stocks, at least 1 BW photo & 1 coloured, use 2 techniques and use 2 or more different embellishments.

Like I said, the images are a bit dodgy, particularly the 'Boys of Autumn' one, but I'm actually quite happy with how the layout turned out. Got some new thickers today (the green ones) so had fun using them.

Hope you had a good weekend!
