Hodge Podge Art

Pictures of You

I am so excited to be bringing you this week’s Hodge Podge and it’s great to be back!  Angela here, ready to challenge you in a big way.  Are you ready?!?!

 

Scrap YOU!  I’m not talking an all about me page (however, no one is gonna stop you if that’s what you want to do).  I think we are all guilty of staying behind the camera far more than we should.  Hey, I hate my photo taken as much as the next girl, but I think this is something we need to do more often.  So, your challenge this week is to scrap a photo with you in it…and no, I don’t mean your shadow or your reflection!

 

You can say the challenge here might be to actually TAKE a photo with you in it, lol.  And there is no excuse because I have put together a few examples to show you that there are ways to get that mug of yours in a photo:

 

This week one artist will win a $10.00 coupon to Two Sisters Designs’ store.  Have fun and let’s see those gorgeous faces!

p.s. Gina here with last week's winner (great entries everyone!)  Congratulations to nikkiARGNwife!  I'll be PMing you at MSA shortly!

:: scrap a series ::

Hey everyone! Gina here with a brand new Hodge Podge challenge for you! It feels good to be back.  : )  And won't you please help me welcome our 10th Hodge Podger: Ms. Anna Russell!

This week, I want everyone to scrap a series of photos. I want them to show a progression of sorts.  Some kind of growth.  The only rule is:

- 3 photos & at least one must be framed in some way -

Some ideas running through my head when I was brainstorming this challenge were scrapping belly pictures from your pregnancy, scrapping a recipe through the stages, doing a "before" and "after" type of page of a home makeover project. I think our team of gals really put forth some great inspiration for you today to get those creative juices flowing. Take a peek...
