November - LESS is MORE Challenge

[avalon4]

Hi everyone, Darlene here of Studio4 Design•works. For the November LESS IS MORE Challenge, I've created a little mini this month with a theme in mind. It's designed for you to do with it as you like. Next weekend, November 11th is what we call "Remembrance Day" here in Canada. In the States, they have "Veteran's/Memorial Day". It's to honour all the veterans - past, present and future that have helped protect us and our lands, for centuries. I'm sure all of us are connected in one way or another to someone like that. But it doesn't have to be taken that way of course, create a page about anything that is worth remembering to you.

I'm offering up a FREEBIE mini kit for you to work with called REMEMBERING. The premise of this challenge is to download this kit and create a LO using ALL of the elements and papers of the kit, leaving nothing out. Feel free to use your imagination and clip papers, recolour elements or papers. You can add journaling text or a title, but nothing more. You can duplicate items and use them over again. Be creative!

Post your LO here in the "Less is More" gallery and then link your LO back here in this thread.

Download the mini kit HERE.

Here's a preview of the mini:

Well - with all the fun stuff happening in The Studio today for NSD - I'm sure you're all sitting there unzipping all the gorgeousness you've purchased at SUPER SAVINGS today. For me - I'm so beat, even my dog knows he's not going for a walk tonight!

Challenges are obviously going to be on the backburner until it's all done - but thank you gals for the comments on the mini and can't wait to see what you come up with this month!

Here is mine:


My dad: Lt. Col. Henry Paul Brauner died on my 10th birthday, just

before the war was over. All I could remember was we had everything

set up outside & that dad never came home. Then in the early evening

A blue vehicle drove up our driveway & Identified mom: Gloria Madline

Brauner, & then broke the news. My sister comforted mom that night, &

I comforted my mother for the rest of her life, for she had a hard time

dealing with her husbands death. My dad was only 36 yrs old @ the time,

& very much missed by us all, though we all dealt with it in different ways.

I didn't find out til later, that we had lots of people who were wearing

Dads MIA bracelet & praying for us all these many years.

So fabulous everyone. I get goosebumps when I see all this gorgeousness. I'll be leaving you some love in the gallery.

Artbeary, I'm sorry you didn't see all the instructions for the challenge. It's kind of the reason for the challenge - stretch you to choose from a smaller set of papers and ellies, and to stretch you that you have to use everything in the kit. It can be as minute or as large as you want as far as placement.
