Hello everyone! WOW - what a difference one month makes!! Who would have thought so many of us would be staying at home and tying to stay safe from COVID-19. I am so happy to have my scrappy crafty outlet where I can try to escape from the crazy reality - I hope none of you are directly affected and that you and your families are and stay safe!
This month the Challenge YOUrself Blog is challenging you to use a Black and White Photo - with YOU in it! I love this challenge - Black and White photos give you so many options - you can either go with any or all colors, or, like I did - stick to black and white and one or 2 complimentary colors. I chose to add different teals - papers, washi tape, cardstock, alphas, brads and ink.
I decided to use a photo of my friends and I when we went to NYC last January. One of our stops was Ground Zero and we took a selfie in front of the Oculus. I love these ladies, and cherish the fun times we have together!
Here are some close ups for you - can you see the glossy accents that I used on some of the camera lenses?
Thanks so much for stopping by! I really hope you and your family are doing well, and staying safe, and that you can find some time to destress from the worries of the world these days.
Please give yourself some YOU time and join us at the Challenge YOUrself Blog - stop by the Blog and check out all of the wonderful inspiration layouts from the rest of the Design Team along with Prize info and Challenge Rules!
