Woohoo ! I'm hosting my first MBM challenge of 2010 ! I hope you all enjoyed the festive season and are feeling refreshed and renewed, ready for all that 2010 has in store ! I know i am ! ;) Now that you're armed with those Year in Review and resolution layouts, let's have a look back in the past !

This week's challenge is super simple and all you have to do is to recreate a layout that you've done in the past to make it better than ever !

Choose an old-fashioned layout of yours, one which needs a complete revamp and make it more personal, sentimental or just more consistent with your current scrapping style : use those Photoshop skills you've learned recently to update the style and design, or simply add that journalling you skimped on before... It's up to you !

Just think that your layout has to be significant for those who will reflect back on the memory in the future ! ;)

Make sure that you share (or link to) the original layout so that we can all see how the updated version has improved !

Below is an example to get the creative juices flowing !

I've created this birthday page a few months before MissMint released that great "Birthday Boogie" collection of hers ! I do love my original page but i just couldn't help but use that newest awesome birthday kit on a page ! It's sooo cute !

Here's my original page :

and the updated version :

I cheated a little bit and used one of Cindy's templates to update the style and design and only focused on the photo processing, embellishment work and journalling (my favorite part actually !). See how the updated page looks different ?! Isn't it amazing ?! Aaah, i really am in love with all those funny details such as the party hat, the gift bow and the streamer which really make my page pop !

OK, now your turn ! I can't wait to see your pages !

Get creative and have fun playing with your pics !
Happy scrapping to everyone ! ;)
Ingrid

there's actually scripty writing on each photo telling you what month it is but this teeny version isn't showing it! :)

i wanted to keep the same feel just update it and make it look less like a terribly digitally scrapped layout and more like a regularly scrapped one.

Your redo is way better, Sarah ! But i would have shadowed the butterfly a little bit more though... Why don't you try setting the distance and the size to 20-30, just to see if you like it better that way ??! :)

WOW!! INGRID! thank you! :)

i did a drop shadow on everything but this is such a small version...i'll go back and bump it up on the butterfly and see how it looks!

so i've come a long way huh? :P

thanks again...this was such a fun challenge!

Sarah, i usually use dark 50 for distance and 50 for size for that butterfly and i think it looks good. It give a lot of dimension to the page. Just try and tell me what do you think ! It depends on what you like after all ! Everyone is different ! :)
