Education Quote

With September being Back to School month for most...I found this challenge from Lets Capture Our Memories to be fitting:

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." ~Albert Einstein

Trends & Techniques - Photo Series

I am seeing lots of LOs with a series of photos. I want you to make a LO using at least 3 pics in a series and use the technique of pop dotting some of your elements!

Here is a great example by Lucy

Make a LO or project that uses the technique of color blocking. Scrapjazz has a good explanation of what the technique is and how to use it.

Here's one from Lucy
