November - Surprise Me Border Challenge

[SnickerdoodleDesigns]

Suzette, This is lovely! Your cluster is beautiful, and they are perfectly balanced with your photo/frame/cluster below. I wouldn’t know this was a challenge for you at all. It looks perfect!

Ella, You were right! Sporty Sass was perfect for this darling picture. I love the mirrored border you created. The clustering is beautiful, and I like the decorative edging you placed under the green ribbon.

Please do not forget to post your photo in the Surprise Me Gallery and post a link in this thread.

Nandy, This is darling. Very cute border that tied in with the colors in the frame and the photo. Nice job of selective coloring in your photo, and I like how you framed the Imagination Station word art! Very clever!

Snickerdoodles,
Here is my link for the Surprise Me Border Challenge for Nov 2012. Also I want to apologize for putting my Surprize Me Border on Kimberkatts Featured Design Challenge. I have been having problems and have to use both my computer and laptop to get my pages done.
Hugs,
marilynnay

I love this challenge, all the layouts so far are fabulous. I'm so glad I found time to participate in this one this month, it's my favorite challenge. Here is my layout - image is linked to gallery.

I made a layout for this challenge using the ‘He Won’t Go’ kit by Jusme Digital.

I cut the centre out of one of the gears to make a frame and used the kit alpha to add the name.

Good Golly! I have been working on a new kit and when I do that I get totally focused and “neglect” other things. I am so glad to see YOU have been here all along, creating these beautiful layouts!!!

Lella, I love how you blended your border into the BG paper! Very creative! I really like how the pink flowers are not blended but just add color pop, and bring out the pink in the trees in the photo.

Vrmoondance, this layout is So much fun!!! Your border is just as cute as can be and works perfectly to create a darling, themed page. The trains going down the edge of the border directed my eyes right to that sweet photo! Well done!

Marilynnay, no worries about the posting at all. It’s difficult to work on 2 different computers! If you get a chance, will you post your layout preview here too, so everyone can see it? It’s really lovely! You brought in the colors from the photo so perfectly in your borders!

Cyndi – I’ve so glad you enjoyed it!!! And this is darling! Sometimes “simple” is absolutely best. I really like the nice clean lines of the border and how you added the flower/ribbon cluster to anchor the borders in place. I also like how the paper you used in your border ties in with the circles on the frame.

Priss, what a beautiful blend of these two kits!!!!! I love the treatment you gave to your photo and how it looks like it is encased in glass. The mesh borders are perfect here too!

Such elegant borders, Barb. I love the contrast of the color with the black and white photo. And the borders themselves are just lovely.

Terri, I’m glad you were able to participate this month too! Your cluster borders are just beautiful! I love the layering you did in them – It is perfect! Also, the kit and elements you chose to use are perfect for the colors in your photos.

Twizzle – Great idea to use the gear as a frame! Such a cute little boy! Your borders work perfectly here…The colors are very boyish and go so well with your overall page theme.

When I saw this kit first time I just remembered for this photo .

[SnickerdoodleDesigns]

Eileen, What an incredibly delightful photo! I love the expression on the little girls face. "Melt my heart" is the perfect title for this page. It is just darling! I love the curve you gave to the border and the stitching you put on it. Just a darling page!

Makeyesup, I like how you let the photo take up most of the page here, with the border bringing in some color. The elements you chose to use work perfectly with the photo! Really well done!

Sandy, this is so cute ( love that hat the girl is wearing in the photo!) A very simple, yet elegant border that goes perfectly with the photo cluster you have created. ( And your kit mixing was perfect! Everything could have easily come from the same kit! Nicely done! )

Hi Felis! What a cute photo.. the ever curious cat, right? Very cute layout, and I like the pretty cluster you ahve used to border your page!
