Cocoa Daisy does the coolest thing on their message board. It's a challenge called "Lift Me Up" and it's like playing "telephone." From their message board:
Here's how it works. I am going to take the first seven people to sign up. Once we have our list of seven, i will email the first person on the list a layout from our gallery here at Cocoa Daisy.
The first person will lift the layout and then send it back to me. You have 48 hours to complete the lift. I will then send it to the next person on the list. You can't show anybody your work… kind of like 'broken telephone' or 'chinese whispers' only using layouts. When the last person emails me their layout, I will post a reveal. Then we will see what layout i picked from the gallery and how the layout evolves.
I played along on the last round and it was great fun!
Isn't that cool? I love looking at the layouts and seeing which parts people were inspired by! And you know, the first and the last layouts aren't that different. Look:
Similarities: Painted background, large rectangle, feminine accents (butterflies on one and flowers on the other) and even the blue color!
Here's a slightly larger look at my layout:
I was inspired by the strong diagonal on the layout I was sent. I made a small round pocket based on that diagonal line. The leaves were stitched on top of some patterned paper, cut out, and then adhered in place. It's my new favorite technique!
Hope you're staying warm wherever you are! Thanks for stopping by!
