Its Started!

The online crops for Butterfly Crafts and Scrapbook Star HAVE BEGUN!!!

Scrapbook Star's Crop Theme is Grease...
Butterfly Crafts' Crop Theme is Movies...
Guess which movie I chose to do for Butterfly Crafts?!?! Did I luck out on that one or what?!

So... Here are two TOTALLY different takes on the movie.

For Scrapbook Star, I decided to do my layout with a 1950s flair. The one area I focused on in my layout was "Pop Art" which was a movement started in the mid 1950s where popular subjects could be part of the artist's palette and was made famous by Andy Warhol.

I thought it would be pretty neat to use an actual record as the base of my layout (purchased at the local thrift store for $0.50) considering the whole juke box thing... Hoola Hoops were also super popular WAY back then which is why I am holding one in the photo - the reason why I look like such a dork - ?? (LOL)!

I used the cardboard from an old shipping box and painted in white and spattered coloured paint everywhere to match the playful feel in the layout.

Close up of photo. I basically made it a black and white photo and coloured the top left image. From there, I copied the image to make a 2 by 2 grid and adjusted the contrast to get the different colours in the other 3 photos. All work was done in Microsoft Picture It.

Ok, on to Butterfly Crafts. My layout was inspired by the wonderfully talented Robin Schelin. Love her stuff!

For this crop, I chose to do a layout more directly related to the movie - John Travolta, the colour black, The Title...

LETS HAVE A CHALLENGE!!!!
