i got lucky, and have back to back days on the bella blvd blog, as one of their november guest artistas. today, they are sharing our designer challenge layouts. here's a peek, but make sure and go check their blog HERE, to see more details and the other two designer's layouts.

my challenge was to scrap a layout, using black and white photos. i actually LOVE to scrap with black and white photos. but i know i have gotten away from that a little bit this past year. partly, because the magazine loves color photos more than black and whites. so i guess i've just been in my color photo zone. one thing that i love about using black and white photos, is that they will go with any pattern paper and any colors you want to use. i used the lovey dovey collection for my layout. these softer colors were just made for black and white photos.

    WAY to make the paper sing–black & white is so calming to look at sometimes, your not distracted by color! 🙂 VERY fun layout!

    Hi, laura, just had a nice catch-up here on your blog, love all your latest projects, especially your fabric ones with the slice, the bag is gorgeous. My daughter had to design a bag the other day for arts and design, this would have come in very handy;)
    Enjoy your weekend.
