Hello – Beth here to host this month's challenge. I’ve created this Pinterest board that has several album covers for you to choose from for inspiration. Here are your rules:
  1. Select 2 album covers
  2. Use 1 cover to influence your composition
  3. Use 1 cover to influence your title
  4. Include at least 2 photos and/or characters on your layout; they can be separate or blended together
  5. Include at least 1 overlay and 1 brush; add anything else that you desire!
Have fun and be sure to include the 2 covers that inspired you and tell me which is which :)

Here's mine using "Against the Current" as my compo inspiration and "The Doors" as my title inspiration

Here's my layout using TirAmisu Design's beautiful collection, SIMPLE THINGS BUNDLE

Our 2024 Challenge Rules have changed just a little. Please read:
  1. Layouts must be created with 75% current PBP Designers’ Products. You may use product from any of our active designers. Check designer challenges to see if they offer additional prizes for using their designs exclusively.)
  2. You may use retired product if it was retired from PBP in the last three months. The retired product can only account for the 25% “non-current” PBP Designs.
  3. Upload your layouts to the PBP Gallery (be sure to select PBP Team Challenges as one of the additional categories that you add your layout to.
  4. Link your layout in this thread to your gallery layout
Make a post in this month’s tracking thread for all of your challenges.

Add the gallery link for your layout from this challenge to your tracking post. (Please do not add images to the tracking thread.) That way we’ll be able to easily see who has earned the monthly prize....and speaking of that!

Ahahah... Typical me! I only read half of the instructions and got carried away, created my page, went to post it and only just noticed the bit about 2 photos/2 characters... Well maybe the sun and the moon will count as 2 characters... Sharing just in case ;)



I was inspired by this cover for my title/subtitle fonts

and this one for my composition

Thank you Beth for the challenge, I was inspired Waylon Nelson Jennings for the main – title – Country LP Johnny Cash – I think I ended up going way off but here is the finished thought. Started with the basis of a template – Carol W – everything else is from Carefree Days – Dandelion Dust Designs – Photos – mine – the brush and overlay is behind the main photo – Fonts – Wild – Croissant One

Thanks for the challenge! Overlay of leaves in cluster and used a brush to create the dotted lines at the top. Used the first cover for the layout and the second for the title including the tiny signature and butterfly, you can't really see!
