MAY CHALLENGES



Just a reminder:  

This month there are six challenges.  You don't have to do all of them; only the ones you want to use.  If you want to do them all, by all means go right ahead!  Most of all, have FUN!!

Tips on using mood boards:  The pictures are for inspiration only and this is not a sketch layout.  You may choose to use one or more colours, design, technique, use any words to give you inspiration or any combination of the above.  There is no right or wrong.  The mood board pictures may inspire something totally different to each of you.

Tips on using sketches: Sketches can be used as you see them, or as a jumping point for your imagination. Twist them, turn them, use any embellishments in the clusters shown, add other clusters where you wish {or none at all}, add lace or punched borders tucked in under edges here and there, add hand or machine sewing, distress the edges, add some tears, leave out some layers... the sky's the limit.


Printing a Sketch from the Blog:  Left click on the picture (or sketch) on the blog that you want to save to your own computer.  A new screen will open with the picture in a larger format.  Choose “Print Picture”.


To Save the Picture to your own Computer:  Right click on the picture and choose “Save picture as”.. then save it on your own computer under “My Pictures” and further define the save by choosing the folder under “My Pictures” that you want it in.   You can print it from there any time you wish.
