I just posted the new Heritage Challenge on the Scrap Artist Team Blog this morning. CLICK HERE (http://scrapartist.typepad.com/the_hub/2007/04/heritage_altere.html) to go directly to the post.
This month, I have a really BIG challenge in store for you! The theme is:
"A 24-INCH CANVAS!"
That's right ... we're ditching the traditional 12-inch canvas. And this is different than a regular 2-page spread. These layouts actually span the entire 24 inches! Don't worry about the page break. Just design over the entire canvas. When printed, of course, they are chopped at 12 inches but when placed in a seamless album, they look INCREDIBLE! Think about this ... the canvas is 24 x 12 inches. At 300 dpi, that's 7,200 x 3,600 pixels. If you calculate it out, you have a canvas area of almost 26 MILLION square pixels at your disposal! That's pretty impressive.
Here are a few of my samples: Sailor's Girl (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38481), England Brothers (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=22817), World War II (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=11771)
If your computer blacks out at the thought of a 24 x 12 inch layout, feel free to adjust that down to 16 x 8 inches. And if you are regularly an 8.5 x 11 scrapper, try out a 17 x 11 inch canvas. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Please be sure to post a link to your layout in this thread so we can all go admire your gorgeous creations!
