Cassel Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 This challenge has had great success in the past so we can continue to have it on a regular basis, don’t you think? Just like those “some assembly required” kits that you can buy for a shelf, a chair, or a picnic table, I am including a 3600×3600 pixels canvas with some shapes. You HAVE to use the shapes in the size and proportions they are. You can move them, rotate them, flip them, and rearrange the layering if you want but you cannot resize them. You need to use ALL the pieces but you can add more if you want. So it is like all the pieces to build a DIY shelf: you cannot change the size of the pieces but you can use them creatively. Obviously, you will want to recolor them or replace them with papers, photos, etc. We just need to be able to recognize the initial shapes. Here is a preview of the shapes involved. The hearts will need to stay hearts. You will have lots of strips of papers OR ribbons. The leaves should stay as is (you can only rotate and color them). Remember that you CANNOT replace them. They are NOT placeholders. Click here to download the layered template. Post your projects in the gallery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Lamp Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I saw this and thought I should be able to build something with all those pieces. Many starts and restars later this is what I came up with. 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Ballentine Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Our group does enjoy Jenga. The tower often reaches 30-35 layers...or the upper twenties, lower thirties. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrie Kinkel Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I have been working on this DIY for a couple of days between the Shadow Workshop lessons and some things at home that needed my attention. But in the end I got there. For me the "paper" stripes and the background called for a symmetric layout and I took my colors from the photos. The background papers and scatter are from a kit called Dandy dandelion from cpjess and for the title I used the Shaped Text script by Carole. It was a bit of a puzzle to get all the elements arranged in such a manner that I can live with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Seeber Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Outstanding, Corrie! I've been struggling with this challenge myself and IMHO you've nailed it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ann, I agree this DIY wasn't the easiest and it took me quite some time to come up with the idea for the layout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
