Back to all challenges

Beginners and All - 1

Beginners and All – Week 1
Add a Photo


Start a new project with a blank 12x12 scrapbook page. You can download a free kit from DaisyTrail or use a suitable kit of your own. I used the Blustery Spring kit from the DaisyTrail shop.

I have posted tutorial instructions and a sample page to DaisyTrail, click the link to go to the page:


Your page must contain:

1 a photograph but it must not be framed
2 a background from the kit
3 a cluster (or two) made from the elements in the kit
4 some text, to describe the page, using the Text tool on the top toolbar.

You may use the simple photo enhancements (as shown in the tutorial page) to make some improvements to your photo.

You may add drop shadows, if you know how to do them, to the embellishments.

When you upload your page, you can use the Description box on the right to say which digikit you have used and to add any other comments if you want to. Then move down to the “Share” box where you can enter your page into the challenge.

The challenge will run until midnight (UK time) on Monday the 30th April 2012, when I will choose three pages that I think are good examples of the challenge. This is a challenge, not a competition and, as the challenge is open to all whether new or experienced, I try to include a mix of abilities in my three chosen pages. I reserve absolutely the right to run the challenge as I see fit.

Have fun and enjoy!
