For Graphic Inspired Challenge 4, the challenge was to use this image by Sokkuan to inspire you to create a layout...

"Image produced by Sok Kuan"

Here are the entries i received for this challenge...

"goalie" by June

Description:
I was inspired by the bird (main photo) and the string under it (which I clustered by embellishments and paper along the horizontal line).

Feli says:
I love the way she clustered the embellishments! And what a cute moment to document!

"bath time" by Irit Shalom

Description:
Here is my bath time layout. A bit of bird, a bit of colors, a bit of crown.

Feli says:
Love the masking of the crown on the background!

"a walk in the park" by Ming

Description:
I was inspired by the dropping tears and the details on the bird feathers made me think of flourishes. Done using Scarlet Lime's Oct 2008 kit. The flourishes are all cutouts from BG Ambrosia Mandarin paper.

Feli says:
I love how she added the flourishes cut-outs! they look awesome! and i totally can see what inspired her from the graphic. :)

"love is..." by Mazlina

Description:

Am inspired by the black color.. first time using black as the background (usually very minimal black in my layouts) but I love how it turned out.. Also have sparkling black brads that hopefully mimic the dangling beads below the bird.. great inspiration felicia!

Feli says:

I love the black! It totally brings out the different elements on her page.

Gong Xi!

Here's my take for HappyScraps Graphic Inspired Challenge 4. I was inspired by the focus towards the crow and the draping below it.

I did my page on a Hambly overlay. The draping was recreated using chipboard and dewdrops.

I also inked the edges of the overlay to create the effect in the graphic.

The rest was all about embellishing the layout! =)

Here's a description of the image from Sok Kuan
"This crow is actually one of Sophie Black's best friend. Sophie Black series is my personal project (to find out more , pls visit http://ssophieblackk.blogspot.com ). Every best friend of Sophie Black reflects each of her characters. Ms Crow looks cool in Black. She is a diva, she thinks that she is the queen of all birds. Besides sharing the interest in Black colour, such confidence found from Ms Crow is what Sophie aspires to have. This series is executed in a dark way, because I want to show the dark side, or the weak side of a girl in a sincere way."

Here's the stash to for Stash Inspired Challenge 4... The challenge is to use your boyish / masculine stash to inspire you to create a layout/project...

Here are the entries we received...

"i anis i good boy"by Edleen

Description:
This layout is of my Little Boy Anis. I think the monster paper truly describes how mischievous he can be. Often when we tell him he's naughty, he'd say, I Anis I Good Boy! Oh well, that last for about a good minute or two. Plus the colours from this range of papers are fun and happy and joyful :)

Feli says:
Wow! I love the words stash she used and especially the photo! So cute to use what Anis said as the title.

"{Dude}" by Georgina

Description:
I'm using the Fancypants pattern paper and Fancypants tags I've just bought. It's so boyish that I can't help but immediately scrap this layout of my son! Love the doodling and how it match the photo of my son taking a 5-mins-break!

Feli says:
I love the PPs and embellies she used! They go so well together especially with the use of the star buttons. They go very well with the doodles on the PPs! And I like how she printed the photo twice.

"Big BOY'S Toys" by June

Description:
Using up all my robot stuff from Cosmo Cricket.

Feli says:
What a great page with robots! Love how she pop up the die-cuts to add dimension.

"my hero" by Mazlina

Description:
This layout is of my husband, who is essentially.. my hero. I used kaiserkraft papers, and use the color tone that matched his shirt.

Feli says:
I love the layering and the colour scheme on this one! The stash used totally go with the photo! :)

"mechana party" by Mazlina

Description:
Using Kaiserkarft papers, this layout is of my son's 4th birthday at Burger King, Shah Alam. It was called Mechana party, as he was really into Animal Mechanicals cartoons at that time. Now he's into Transformers, but nonetheless has the same robotic and mechanical theme.

Feli says:
I love the colourful page!! The boyish stash totally go with the party theme!

"Mechana party album" by Mazlina

Description:
This album is of my son's birthday party... This time I used the bright n colorful Basic Grey Lime Rickey papers, and lots of robots and mechanical stickers.

Feli says:
What a fun album! Love how she placed the embellishments around the photos...

"I want to be a Scientist" by Michelle

Description:
I love Felicia's LO for this challenge! I looked for similar robot and gears stash in my pile and decided to cut out the gears. I used pop dots to "pop" some of the gears. I also used embroidery thread to make 'belts' linking 2 gears. I had lots of fun cracking this challenge !

Feli says:
My jaw dropped when seeing this layout!! I must try this some day. I love how she cut out all the gears, that's so much work but so worth the effort! And the embroidery thread idea is so cool.

"He is my Boy" by Michelle

Description:
For this LO, I used mostly Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend range. I tried to keep to the cosmic look by using various mists and also stickles.

Feli says:
I love the colours on her page! great misting too!! Such a fun page.

"aquarium" by Jinelle

Description:
Supplies: Crate paper static, and chipboards; ranger ink, cardstock, buttons,prima crystals American craft letters.

Feli says:
I love the distressed page! great use of colours and embellishments to portray the boy theme.

They are so fun to use! And i love the bright colours they are in.. I combined my robots stash and monsters stash together on my layout.

Love those gears, I left them raw but added colours by applying rub-ons, brads and buttons.

Also added cut-outs of this monsters on my page...

Bought this gold gear tape just before I started this layout! I just knew it'll go well together with all of my other stash. Oh yes, can you spot the tiny monsters i cut out? :)

Gonna submit this to Ed's Sunday Challenge @ Laine's because I used 9 things on my layout. Photo, PPs, Chipboards, Brads, Buttons, Stickers, sheer, tape, rub-ons. Woohoo! :)
