Apart from the stunning colors of the Pina kit, what I love about this layout is the way the extraction and stroking of the photo makes it stand out so wonderfully. One of the most stylish and effective extraction layouts I have ever seen.

(If you are an extraction novice there are plenty of tutorials available on the web - or for a wonderfully easy to follow guide try this tutorial by Cassie)

Here’s what Janet’s lovely page inspired:

Such sweet pictures and I love the warm fall colors used together here. Let’s see what our team members did with this one…

First up is this sweet page by Mel (aka Britgirl)- I just love the sun/clouds and the half hidden owl!

Awesome pages and such unique takes on the original - Looking at these makes me want to head to the pumpkin patch this weekend and get some fall pictures to scrap!

Remember, we’ll continue to choose layouts for a fresh look from THIS THREAD, so keep on adding your submissions there.  I’ll be back in a couple of weeks with another Fresh Look! 

Loved Layered Template No 02

Kari caught this tender moment between brothers - how appropriate for a loved template!

She used Mindy’s 100% Boy kit
and Pattie’s Things That Fly Felt.

The soft and delicate colors in Anna’s FloraART Paperie No 10 and Katie’s Laced Love paper pack work beautifully with Heidi’s princess-themed tea-time layout.

How precious is Maureen’s layout - such sweetness! I love how she added Art Warehouse Fresh Stickers No 01 and Mindy’s Sweet Words Stamps - the results are just stunning!

And finally here’s my layout—my dad just arrived for a visit and my kids were thrilled. I snapped this photo as we arrived home from the airport and I’m so happy to have scrapped it already. I added In the Post brushes-n-stamps , Naturally Krafty paper pack No 04 , Agnione kit by Jesse Edwards and Falling for You by Mindy Teresawa - both coming soon.

I’m looking forward to seeing how you use this template - don’t forget to post in the Template Challenge gallery.

This weeks challenge – mix n match – no two letters the same font or bought alpha.
I love this kind of look. I think I got into it when I used to paper scrap – always always running out of letters for titles! LOL So can you create a page where no two letters come from the same font or alpha? Take a look at my sample page here

See? It’s a good look! If you peek close enough you can see even my date and ‘Hugo’ aren’t made up of the same letters either.  It’s a brilliant excuse to open up all your favourite alphabets at once! I hope you all can take up this challenge, I cant wait to see the pages it inspires. Post them here in the JMT gallery for everyone to see!

We’ve got THE inspiration that you won’t want to miss out on! It’s the Daily Dose of Digital 2009. A daily calendar with a new layout each day and it’s packed with challenges. Our team packed on their scrapping power to get this amazing resource together for you!

It’s a downloadable pdf you can view on your screen or print out and have it bound for a desk resource! Makes a great gift too!

This week we’re using Create-a-Book Posted No. 6

and I think I’ll be having about four spreads from our trip to the zoo with Jack. Jason was there too but he just slept and this day was all about Jack! I’m doing my spreads in sequential order of the pictures but you don’t need to do that--feel free to mix it up. The goal is to tell the story!

Layout details here and here!

The 10 weeks 2 Treasure gallery is packed with some awesome inspiration for this project!

Anke’s done some beautiful blending on her pages

Omyjallopy’s Russia trip has some beautiful photographs and Anna’s kit looks like it was made for this one!

Keep up the great work and I’ll see you all again next week for another installment!

My take:

Mel did a fun version featuring her family:

Sam used the two sides in a great his/hers layout:

Here are the 3 products for the challenge:
