Week #7 - NEW CHALLENGE!

This week's challenge is all about the photos. There are three individual challenges below and you have the opportunity to submit up to THREE layouts this week!! They will be due to me by Saturday, November 4th at midnight EST. You can not combine the challenges on one layout and get more points. You must submit 3 different layouts - each will be worth 10 points.

Scrapbook Those Silly Photos (#27)
I know you have them. Well, at least just one. You know what I'm talking about - a silly photo. If you don't have a silly photograph to scrapbook - go and take one! You might be surprised at just how much fun it can be.

Digitally Alter a Photograph (#30)
I love taking photographs and challenging myself by doing cool things with my photo software. I'd like to challenge you to do the same. Whatever you choose, your challenge here is to digitally alter a photo in such a way that it helps enhance the story on your layout.

Ideas:
- Try changing the colors of a photo (simply converting to B&W does NOT count on this one) - this could be a drastic change or something more subtle
- Use some of the "artistic" affects that most photo software has
- Convert part of a photo to B&W and leave part in color to highlight a portion
- Add brushes or texts directly to your photo
- If you're not familiar with what your computer can do - this is a great time to experiment!

Play with Photo Proportions (#32)

Have a photograph you just love? Here's the challenge: feature your photograph predominantly on your layout by making it a large portion of your background.
**I know most of us don't have large format printers, so this challenge is not asking you to print 12x12 photos. Just use very large pictures (think bigger than 5x7)!
