Alright chickies!

This is the final Bingo with the Babes thread for January! How are you guys doin? It's been so fun to see all of your layouts in our weekly threads, so enjoy this week's eye candy from our incredible Babes and show us what you've been up to this week too!

Happy scrapping!

When I saw the no embellishment challenge on this month's bingo card, I knew I wanted to give it a shot because no embellishments is a HUGE challenge for me. I tossed around a few ideas in my head but most of them also required the use of brushes, or doodles, or some kind of elements. Then I was trying to fall asleep the other night and inspiration from a recent blog post I had read struck me. I could use it for a layout!

And so, my threenager layout was born. It pushed me away from my layout comfort zone and I kind of like the result!

I'm not much of a template user so I decided to step outside my comfort zone a little bit and flip a template. I saw Brook's kit and thought it would be perfect for my daughter, sweet and a little quirky. I cruised the shop, fell in love with this set of templates and went to flipping.

I am not good at journaling, but I still want my pages to tell a story - so the word strip challenge was just perfect for me! The word strips in La and Jenn's Everyday: Focus kit stated perfectly what I would have journaled on this page:

what wonderful layouts! Love them..... I finished my last one and I'm sooo happy

Journaling:
Within the last years my life changed from a life with 3 men to a life with one "man". It's a big change, even if my big boy hopefully can come back in a few months. At the day when it was sure, that Bastian needs to go to his dad my life broke for a second time and I'm so sad about it. It feels like the end.... is this a new beginning? Can it help us? We will see!
 
AHHHHH! The bingo tracker thread is AMAZING! It's sooooo awesome to see so many finished cards being posted. You girls are awesome!!
 
Here's my last page for a full page Bingo! So proud of myself, this is more scrapping than I've done in all of last year!

You know what I love about this new challenge format? I read the Bingo card at the beginning of the month and ended up doing several challenges without even realizing it! But I also wanted to challenge myself to create a layout just for a challenge so this is my take on "Make 1/3 of your page a really BIG title."

To create the background, I blended my photo into one of Kristin's papers by changing the blend mode on my photo layer to Screen which gave it the gradient look. Then for the title I duplicated two copies of the same font, turned one black and one white and offset them a smidge for a more graphic look. At the risk of sounding like I'm bragging on my own layout, I really love how it turned out!
