Congratulations to Felicia. It was a gorgeous layout. Mmmm a picture bigger than 4x6. I haven't scrap one of these for a long time now. LOL

Congrats, Felicia! Love Jen's take on the challenge! And, well, thank goodness for this challenge, though. Because I would just keep on doing multi-tiny-photo layouts forever without this incentive! Here's my take on it:

I loved this challenge... and Jen's example rocks too.

I was going to do a HUGE photo on a 12x12 page, but I ended up using a 4x7.5 photo that I already had printed... and it worked perfectly with a couple sheets of AC paper I had on hand! I love the creative jump start posted on this blog every Friday. Thanks :)

I love using crazy large photos -to- super small photos. I'm really blessed to have a nice new printer and I can print what I need :)

Here is my take on this fun challenge. I heart AC's

I usually order some 5x7's of the photos I love, because I think they are perfect for a 12x12 page. Thanks for the challenge to pull one out and use my AC goodies ;) Here is mine:
