I haven't yet been able to do any of those immunity challenges as the timing was too tight for me or we weren't around that night.
This week, they gave everyone 23 hours to finish a layout and post it on their forums, so I decided to try to do it.
This is the sketch that was posted, and you had to do something related to 'baby' - whether it was pictures of yourself as a baby, or your own child. I don't really have any pictures of me as an infant, and I don't have a huge amount of pictures of Alex prior to his Gotcha Day when he was 7 months old (7 months, 3 days old to be exact). I decided to use photos from a photoshoot that was done when Alex was almost 8 months old (he'd been home a few weeks).
I de-saturated the photos as the colour of them was too intense for the papers I wanted to use. For papers, I used the Sweet Branch line by Crate Paper, and distressed all of the paper with chalk ink. I also used some coordinating card stock from my stash for the background and photo mat. I modified some of the Sweet Branch die cuts for the two flowers. I used some foam adhesive dots on the title to give it a bit of height.
I stitched using a cream thread and used two different stitching templates for the stitching.
The layout didn't scan as well as they normally do - the background paper actually has a hint of teal blue to it, but it scanned as quite a bland blue/grey colour for some reason. Hopefully you can get an overall sense of the layout even if the colours are a bit flat.
They are announcing the people who have immunity later tonight so we'll see if I get it or not. I've already done my layout for this week's regular challenge - except for the title, so even if I don't get immunity, I still have something to submit for tomorrow's deadline.
