Marieke's April Challenge

There is also an extra credit portion to this month, too. :-)

Challenge

Okay, so the guidelines are pretty simple for this one.

1. Look at the photo.
2. Think about how you can use your supplies, any of your supplies - yes, that's right, ANY of your supplies - to incorporate the colors, textures, or themes into your project.
3. Make your item.
4. Oh, and have fun!


I wanted to do a nod to Easter, but wanted to avoid the pastel color theme from last year. Not so popular. Live and learn. I'm pretty sure that was everyone's least favorite kit by far. So, I picked this photo which features eggs, but manages to avoid the Easter palette.

Here is an example of someone else running the same kind of challenge recently on their blog: Get Picky. I love how the last one looks so similar to the photo in color and theme. So pretty!


Extra Credit

It hit me like a ton of bricks tonight that I had access to some awesome photos to use as inspiration for a project. When I first started thinking about this assignment (about 4 months ago), I knew I wanted to use a photo that would fit into the Easter theme without being too Easter-y. I got stuck on the idea of incorporating a photo with eggs and I got tunnel vision. But, I know an awesome photographer and I would really like to include one of his photos in this challenge. So, this part of the assignment is for extra credit. We all usually end up making two projects anyway, so I thought it'd be fun to mix it up a little. Use the following photo as inspiration to make a card or layout. The same guidelines posted above apply here. Anything goes.
