Each month we have a Challenge here at Pazzles to help encourage you to step out of the box and/or step up in your box. The exciting thing about the challenges are that they are for the brand new beginner as well as the veteran. as it is a participation challenge and we aren’t going to judge you on your project. If this is your first time to participate, take just a minute and go read more about it here.
Don’t worry if you have never uploaded and/or don’t know how to upload a project or photo, there are instructions here to help you with that as well, so come on, join us for the fun. You can upload your project under the Challenges section in the July 2011 album or just click here to go to that album.
Overlays seem to be the topic at many of the shows I go to. Questions on creating very simple ones to more extravagant ones have been the subject of a few classes in the recent past as well. There are also some fabulous videos here at the Pazzles Craft Room that show you how to create them. With that all being said, this months challenge is to create an overlay. It could be something as simple as a title, to a full page or even just a greeting card top.
Here are some classes and videos to help you step into the world of Overlays.
*Simple Overlays
*Overlays with a Flourish
The following titles in the Videos are fabulous tutorials as well,
Under Building on the Basics
*Subtract Weld
*Overlays Made Easy Part 1
Under Advanced Techniques
*Basic Paper Lace
*Advanced Paper Lace
*Overlays Made Easy Part 2
Even though the paper lace is not technically an overlay, it is a great way to get a beautiful base before adding ‘frames’ for your photos.
Hi Klo
Have tried to upload photos for the July Challenge but there doesn’t seem to be a tab for July? Please can you tell me if i am doing this wrong and if so what to do. Have also left a message in the Forums under ‘Off Topic’ too.
Thanks:-)
There was an error that wasn’t allowing everyone to see the album. It is fixed now though!
