Photo Focus: Grow

I can’t believe that April is already half over! Down here in the South, springtime is already starting to feel like early summer. New life has sprouted up and everywhere I look I see signs of growth. That is the theme I chose this month for the Photo Challenge. Growth can be found not only in nature but in character, in skill, in relationships, and so much more. Your task is to create a page on growth, using one photo and embellishing it with a blendable text, a floral or botanical item or stamp, and a symbol of measure or growth (such as a rule, tape measure, numbers, chart). Here is a freebie pack of helpful items to get your inspiration going.

The KPD team has come up with some creative pages to kick start this challenge! Shannon (shannonr) designed this layout allowing for quite a bit of journaling to reflect on spiritual growth. I think that butterflies are a great symbol of growth and transformation!

Supplies: Color Swatch Charcoal Bundle, Color Swatch Charcoal Transfers 2, Color Swatch Charcoal Transfers 3, Artsy Layered Blends 01, Pencil Line Flowers Brushes and Stamps 10, Title Lines 28

Guest Creative Team Member Beth (bred1269) created this incredible page about growing in communication skills. I adore the tree element as the symbol of growth.

Supplies: Vintage Artistry Anywhere Paper Pack, Readymade Layers: Butterfly Clusters 12, Bare Trees Stamps and Layers 01, Vintage Farmhouse Garden Element Mix

Creative Team Member Stacia (Stacia) created this awesome page about growing in a new career and location. I love that paint blend layer she tucked behind that fantastic photo!

I hope these pages have inspired you to reflect on growth as it applies to you, your family, or what you see in nature around you.
