Paislee Press Spotlight (April 28 - May 4)

[elizzylee]

I'm so excited to be in the SPOTLIGHT this week!! I'm hosting TWO challenges and I've whipped up two different freebies so everyone can play along! AND I'm giving away prizes at the end of the week.

Here's how the PRIZES work:
For each layout you complete (and upload to the designer spotlight gallery AND link to this thread), you will earn one raffle ticket. At the end of the week I will conduct a drawing for the following prizes:

Grand Prize - $20 Gift Certificate to my store (collabs excluded)
Happy Prize - $10 Gift Certificate to my store (collabs excluded)
Cool Prize - $5 Gift Certificate to my store (collabs excluded)

The more layouts you submit, the more chances you have of winning. So..........are you ready to play?

You can earn one raffle ticket just by wearing my blinkie!!

<<<add me to your siggie

Challenge #1: What the Crop? (focus on photos) GRAB THE KIT HERE
One of the things I love MOST about digital scrapbooking is that we're not confined to 4x6 or 5x7 print sizes. And lately, I've been totally obsessed with unique photo crops. This challenge is for you to experiment with crops!! Any crop size will do, as long as you use it as a "design tool" and the final crop size is NOT 4x6 or 5x7.

To complete this challenge, your layout MUST include a unique photo crop (anything that's not 4x6 or 5x7 will do) and MUST contain at least one element from my Fresh Linens Kit (free during my spotlight week).




Need inspiration? Check out the stunning layout by Lorraine that inspired this challenge:

Challenge #2: Good Things Come in Small Packages (focus on design) GRAB THE TEMPLATE HERE
I always find myself drawn to layouts with super tiny photos and lots of white space - you know, the ones where you *have* to click on the thumbnails and zoom in to admire all the details. Your challenge here is to: keep the photo(s) SMALL and leave lots of breathing room (white space)!! I've made a template for this challenge OR you can come up with your own design!!



here are some sample layouts from my AMAZING creative team and the talented cheeryo's!!!








I'm looking forward to seeing your gorgeous layouts!!!
