6/15 Weekly Challenge !!!

Happy Tuesday girlies & Damien!

Welcome to my guest post challenge, invited by Carrie - as she is/was away on vacation!
In honor of Damien's presence on our board, my challenge is kind of a fun twist on his "Man-slave" introduction. If you want use an alter-ego theme this week, go for it! (optional)

This week's challenge?
Create a layout / card / hybrid item / or home decor project inspired by this "ad" (actually the cover) from an Anthropologie catalog:





Here is how I was inspired by the ad.
I had already torn out this outfit I loved from a magazine, and I especially loved her "foot pose." I liked the bold horizontal color bar along the bottom so I repeated that on my layout in blue. I also positioned my title in the same place. Then I got very whimsical with the background! Oh, and this is not so much my alter-ego unless you consider that in, the winter I'm a sort-of a couch-potato, so this is my active summer-self! haha



I hope you all play along with this week's challenge. Post a link to your completed page here in this thread so we can all enjoy seeing what you created!

Have Fun!!!

Love the ad and your project!! This will truly be a challenge for me. lol

LOVE the colors in this

i NEED those tights!

Love the add, I just made some color wash I think I will play with. Reminds me of the material on the cover of the PP artisan albums.

Oh I LOVE it!!!! TOTALLY inspiring!

Off to conjure something up!

THanks JA!

This is going to be interesting, I have never done a challenge lay-out well per say, not that Norma has'nt tried! When I said it was "on" JA I had no idea that you would take me up on it! Norma's going to go nuts when I tell her that I want to try this, but y'all better go easy on me, it's my first time.
