think OUTSIDE the box

Hi ALL! Jacque here, and I'm SO EXCITED for this weeks challenge.
I was inspired by one of my MOST favorite scrappers.
She's an amazing scrapper, her style is unique and her pages are beautiful,
and NEVER boring.

Here is a link to her gallery

This weeks challenge is to
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Step away from your normal scrapping style.
Here are the rules.....

-you are not allowed to create a (12x12) SQUARE page.
-your background must be bright white.
(click on file ----> new and select a white background fo PS users)
-be creative with your shadows like shanna is.
-let your page and pictures tell your story (no journaling on the white background.)

Here are some of my favorite pages that Shanna has created.
