[MissMint]

OMG it's 2010! We made it!!! And it's time for another PMP Challenge and a brand new template.

Oh and GUESS WHAT? Now all former PMP templates are in the store for only $1.75 each
so if you missed a month and loved the template you can grab it for next to nothing! WOOT!
Check it out! (http://www.peppermintcreative.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=85_98)

HOW IT WORKS:
Download the template (http://www.mediafire.com/?nwydznzzjmq). Pimp-ify it (using mostly PC products).
Post your final product in the Main Gallery by Jan 31st and also post a link
to your page in this thread. Winner will be announced Feb 1st.

HOW A WINNER IS SELECTED:
The TOP 10 pages will be selected (by ‘Top’ I might mean the funny,
creative, imaginative, different, silly, clever, beautiful...not necessarily
the technically ‘BEST’) and from those 10 pages, a random layout
(by random number generation) will be selected and announced on
Feb 1st. Top 10 pages will be revealed.

[MissMint]

Wow Kirstie that is AWESOME!

[shutterspeed]

i soooo rarely scrap just 1 photograph on a page. that is soooo hard for me. but i love this template. so i'll have to see what i can do with it! :)

[birgit]

i also will have problems to scrap just one pic :teehee:

ingrid, your template is great!!!!

[BansGran]

I prefer to scrap one pic at a time... this is the perfect template for me.. it is awesome.. thanks for sharing your talents Ingrid!!!!

[ingridfasquelle]

Aww thanks for the compliments, Ladies ! :redface:
I'm glad you're in love with this month's template ! I am too and i've used it soooo much already !!!

Birgit, Sarah, try to use a portrait or a candid shot. I think that's what works the best with this template.

Here are a few examples for your inspiration ! HTH ! :)

[shutterspeed]

those are BEAUTIFUL examples Ingrid.

for some reason 1 photo layouts are sooo out of my comfort zone. but i think it'll be fun to at least try to "make it work" as Tim Gunn would say! :D

[MissMint]

Gorgeous examples! It will be a great challenge for those not used to using one pic!

[ingridfasquelle]

Thanks MissMint ! ;)

My sister begged me to make her a page with some of our doggie's pics but for some reason, i just couldn't make it work ! I find it so hard to scrap photos of animals ! I needed lots of attempts before the page turned out beautiful and finally i'm glad i did ! Sometimes, it's just so good to come out of one's comfort zone !

Sarah, let's give it a try ! I know you can do it ! ;)

And in case your page doesn't turn out beautiful, you can always use a QP of mine and customize it ! I would be so glad to see one of those pages in use ! ;)

[rardnek]

I just stumbled on your challenge and was excited to play along - I love this template, even tho I'm usually a multi-photo per page kind of scrapper. I was excited to make this LO about my mom, who passed away this spring.

[MissMint]

Yey!!! JOANN!!! ;) Love your page! Your DD has grown up!

[ingridfasquelle]

I've commented your page, Joann ! :)

Allie, thanks for the compliment ! :redface:
I've been in a design rut lately, you can't imagine how much it helps to know that people like my templates ! I always try to make something original, inspired by traditional scrapbooking. I love to see what people are doing with them, the pages are always so inspiring ! That always makes me want to re-use my own template ! :D

Here's mine!

Journaling reads: As usual, everyone has an opinion as to whether you're a boy or a girl. Everyone was surprised when Brody was a boy because they assumed I'd have a mini-me. The funny thing is he looks just like me, but he's all boy. This time even Dr. Padin thinks you're a girl because you're already so different than your brother, It doesn't matter either way. I just want to start decorating your room. -jess

[MissMint]

This is AWESOME Jess!!! What program are you using? Maybe we can help you save your final image so that it appears clearer online.

[kkgordon02]

First time doing the challenge! Thanks for the motivation. First page I've finished in a long while! Trying to get back...
