iTunes Challenge: September

Hi friends, it’s Trace back with you for another iTunes challenge! Can you believe September is almost over and October is fast approaching? Where has this year gone?

I tried to find some seasonal inspiration for this challenge. I understand that those of us in the southern hemisphere are in the swing of spring weather but I think you could take this in any direction! I gave myself a further challenge of creating two pages for different seasons.

My first page is all about how autumn is my favorite season. Katie’s new collection was perfect in bringing this one together quickly.

My supplies for this page were: Assorted Messy Stitches: White 01, Cardstock Tabs 02, Classic Frame Layers 01, Gesso 02 Brushes and Stamps, Nature Study Checks and Dots Paper Pack, Nature Study Remnants, Nature Study Scrapbook Kit, Nature Study Solids Paper Pack, Nature Study Stamp Pack, Page Blends 06, Scripting Words Thankful Brushes and Stamps, Smeared Paint Photo Frames Brushes and Stamps 02, Spackle 01, Torn and Frames Layered Template 11, White and Grey Tab Alphabet

For my second page I decided to try and make something for summer using a very similar design and products. I love the end result!

I used these products for this page: Cardstock Tabs 02, Classic Frame Layers 01, Dolphin Cove Scrapbooking Kit, Dolphin Cove Solids Paper Pack, Done With Doilies Photo Clusters 01, Hand Scriped Alpha Stamp Pack 01, Page Blends 06, Printer Trays 05, Smeared Paint Photo Frames Brushes and Stamps 02, Surf Lagoon Scrapbooking Kit, Torn and Framed Layered Template 04, Torn and Framed Layered Template 06, Vintage Artistry Beached Ephemera, Vintage Artistry Beached Ephemera Plus Pack, Vintage Artistry Beached Paper Pack, Vintage Artistry Beached Sentiment Transfers, Vintage Artistry Beached Stamp Pack

Addie (agoymerac) went for a large photo design to scrap a pair of sandhill cranes that visit her pond each year. I love how she pulled the colours from her photo into her page in addition to those beautiful element clusters!

Addie used these products in her page: Embrace Today Brushes and Stamps, Painted Photo Masks 17, Readymade Layers: Vintage Clusters 02. Smeared Paint Photo Frames Brushes and Stamps 02, Soften it Up Brushes and Stamps 01, Textured Canvas: Neutrals Paper Pack

I love this gorgeous beach page that Monica (mosbaskets) created for the challenge. The texture she added to her photo is a subtle but awesome touch and the background paper looks like an extension to that beautiful sunset.

Monica used these products on her page: ARToptions Mini Mix 18, Page Blends 05, Smeared Paint Photo Frames Brushes and Stamps 02, Wood Veneer Words 18

I hope you are inspired to make a page and I look forward to seeing everyone’s creations in the iTunes Inspiration gallery! Katie has generously provided a freebie to get you started. Don’t forget to update the September Challenge Pariticipation thread to earn store rewards!
