April 1 | Complete a project using a Tutorial Tuesday post

[KatieFLapple]

Hi there scrappers! Happy April Fool's Day! I promise there will be no tricks from me!

Over on the blog today, I shared a roundup of some of TDP's amazing Tutorial Tuesday posts, written by our creative team members throughout the past year or so. Have you been reading them each week?



For myself, spring is a time when I like to try new things and branch out a bit. So my challenge for you today is to create a layout or project using a technique from any Tutorial Tuesday post on the TDP blog. Your final product can be a traditional layout, a pocket scrapbooking layout, a hybrid project, a card, or anything else that suits your fancy... as long as you incorporate a new-to-you technique from any Tutorial Tuesday post found on the TDP blog. Be sure to link us to the blog post you used with your project. I can't wait to hear about what you learned, and see all your fun projects!

Here are the rules of this challenge:

• Your creation must be made using 100% TDP products and must be loaded into the gallery no later than 11:59pm ET on April 30, 2016.
• Once you've loaded it into the gallery, leave a comment in this thread and link back to your project in the gallery.
• Please also link your comment in this thread to your spot in the Monthly Challenge Tracker Thread. You can find it HERE.
• Don't forget to link us to the Tutorial Post you used for your project.
• Have fun!

Katie, this is an awesome challenge. I love learning something new. I finally finished mine. I had a difficult time choosing which tutorial to use as there are so many things I want to try.

I used the Wave Tutorial by Rachel on the 3 word art labels under the photo. I figured that way it would be easy to see.

here's my take of the challenge

I've used the tuto about the shadows

I really wanted to scrap about this harrowing drive we took in the midst of what was supposed to be a 4-6" snow storm that ended up being a 15" blizzard. At the end of March. I took a bunch of pictures, but there were all ....meh. So I did a bunch of tweaking with this photo to get it where I wanted it (a la Farrah's tutorial). My starting point was a photo taken in a blizzard and through the windshield of a moving car in sub-optimal lighting. First I faded the highlights with a color saturation filter (made that red car really pop out and gave some definition to the otherwise soupy gray surroundings), then applied an exposure (underexposure) filter to whiten the snow. I also clipped papers to elements, and blended multiple papers to make them the colors I wanted, turned a pocket card into a stamp, and used a texture mask to make word arts look more like stamps.

Your photo looks great, and I love your layout.

I was inspired by the Playing with Color Tutorial from last month (March 15). I typically like to leave my photos in color and rarely do I use B&W, but thought it worked well for this layout. http://www.thedigitalpress.co/tutori...f-your-photos/

I used the Tutorial on "Splitting a photo into multiple pockets"

I didn't see that tutorial. I've done that but I think I am doing it the hard way. I need to look up the tutorial. Great layout.

I used the tutorial "Playing with Color to Change the Mood of Your Photos" by Arielle. I just kept one colorful element in the B&W photo.
