Are you brave enough?

Our challenge this week at Frosted Designs was definitely adventurous but definitely worth the risk! Are you up to the task?

We're talking about cutting photos - *gasp* I know, right? Admittedly, I was wary at first, but it is such a cool way of bringing out the focus of a photograph, and boy, do my Frosted Design sisters have some awesome ways of doing it! Seriously - go check them out here.


For my layout, I didn't want to detract from the beauty of the photo - a pic of the hot air balloon ride my mother-in-law took in the middle of the Colorado Rockies a few summers back. I simply added a few clouds cut out from my Cosmo Cricket Togetherness paper, and a Prima Say it in Studs swirl, along with my title. To make the photo *pop* I used two different sized circle punches (starting with the smallest size) to punch out the balloon, then again in the next size up to punch out a frame. I popped up the balloon with foam pop dots to add a little extra visual interest.

I dare you to go & be brave, and cut into your photos! Or at least try it a couple times. Then, post your projects to Frosted Designs by next Thursday for a chance to win some fun digi stamps!
