No Flowers May 14-31, 2024

[AK_Tracy]

So I was challenged to start a member challenge. I thought and thought and thought. What would be a challenge that hasn't been done (that I can find). So I thought, No Flowers. I love flowers but tend to leave them out of my layouts. I just cant seem to get the feel for making them look right (to me).

Post photos to your personal gallery, (following OScraps Gallery Guidelines) then link them here so I can leave some love.
The Rules:

1. All layouts uploaded must contain at least 50% Oscraps products *that are currently in the store (a template equates to 15%)
2. Please credit ALL the products you have used, for a non-Oscraps designer please mention their name but not their store and do not link to a non-Oscraps designer
3. Please ensure that any photo you use is NOT copyrighted and if applicable, provide the appropriate credits for it.

My challenge, for fun, no rewards, is to create a layout with no flowers. Here is my layout, using Corner Slit Frames from Anna Aspens and Free Wheelin' by Aimee Harrison.

This is my first attempt, if I have anything wrong or missed a rule, please let me know.

Tracy, I love this page devoted to your hairy, lovable sidekick. She has such a sweet face. This is definitely a unique challenge. You did good your first time out!!

 

[pachimac]

ooo this is hard! I use flowers on just about every layout I do!! Thinking..,

 

[janedee]

This will definitely be a challenge for me!

 

[scrap-genie]

A lot of the time I'm not a fan of flowers in LOs, so I think this is a perfect challenge!

 

[AK_Tracy]

Oh Jean, @scrap-genie , you make me so happy. I'm no longer the only non-flower scrapper. I love them and they're beautiful but I struggle with adding them.

 

[LauraD]

That's a great idea! Let me see if I can do one!

 

[Cherylndesigns]

I'm not a fan of flowers, but have to use them. I can't wait to play. I just finished a LO for one of the monthly challenges that doesn't have one single flower on it.

This is so awesome of you to start a member's challenge, Tracy!!! I will definitely be playing along.

Susie @pachimac is probably hyperventilating right now.

 

[mimes1]

I’m so excited to see this!! When I get home I’m going to do this! This will be a challenge for sure because I tend to flower everything!!!

 

[A-M]

Tracy, this sounds a great challenge. I will see if I can make time to create something - after I get another couple of challenge pages put together.

 

[LauraD]

Here is my page. Thanks for the inspiration.

[MariJ]

Oh, my goodness, Tracy this is wonderful! You must not remember my "flower rants"! I'm not a fan!
This would be so easy for me, I'm going to try to find the time.

Nope, that's @pachimac getting it out of her system

[Jam-on-toast]

Have just seen this.... I am another of those non-flower scrappers. Sure, I use them, but can easily do without. Have just gone through my gallery to check if I've done a no flowers layouts recently - there's a few... Let me see if I can get another done for this challenge... I've been feeling a bit out of mojo since the iNSD...

@Terri M Here is the member challenge. Its scary fun. Scary that they let me do this and fun to have a different take on a challenge. No rewards. If you click the main tab "members challenges" you can find all the rules/requirements and some other fun ones that have been done.

For Tracys Member Challenge. The challenge is to not use any flowers. I used My Own Soulmate...

 

[bcgal00]

OMG....I don't think I can do it!!! I'm pretty sure I have never created a page without at least a few flowers on it. This gives me palpitations LOL.
