Photography Challenge - August 2012

[Art for Scrapbooking]

Hi everyone.
This month I thought we could look at using a not so great photograph in a new way.
Here is this month's photo. It is a macro shot of an australian native grass -
But you don't have to use this one - keep reading.



I used this slightly blurry photo to make 2 digital papers.
The challenge is to either:
A use one [or both if you wish]of these papers in your layout
OR
B have a go at making your own paper with your photo and use it.

To help you here is a link to how I made my papers.[on my blog]

The papers of mine are these 2.
They are each linked to the larger size and you may use as you wish.





I hope you enjoy the challenge and remember most of all have fun.

It is a close up of the seed head on a tall native grass. I will try and find a photo or take one of the bush to show you. I was trying to get a close up as I bought a macro lens and have been madly taking photos of everything up close lol.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Yes it is. I like those animals, they look so cute!
We made a trip trough Australia on our honeymoon in 2002.

But I have to make a correction on the layout, I will upload the right one when I'm finished.
(couldn't sleep over it... LOL!)

They are really cute - BUT really noisy and they have really sharp claws lol. I haven't seen one for awhile but our old house we would see them occasionally in the trees. You have probably seen more of australia then me lol.
