This is the first time I've tried a challenge here, so let's see if I get the points right.
3.1 - new designer freebies {+1 for layout +1 NR}
Layout was completed/posted 3/30 using Grow by Erica Zane (released 3/29 or thereabouts)
3.2 - new designer freebies {+1 for layout]
Layout uses Sunny Daze by Mari K. Background paper is a recolored version of one of the papers in the kit. Alpha is from Shawna Clingerman.
3.3 - new designer freebies {+1 for layout]
Layout uses Round and Round V1 template by Nettio Deisgns. Kit is Desert Canyon Sun by Jady Day Studio. Alpha is from Shawna Clingerman.
5 - use punctuation prominently {+1 for layout]
That string of punctuation is intended to be "read" the same way you'd read a string of similar punctuation in an e-mail.
8 - use a kit in an unexpected way {+1 for layout}
Layout uses Cherish the Thought by Sugarplum Paperie, and my interpretation is that this vintage-y, girlie kit and color scheme are not the first one I would have picked for this fighter pilot's picture (but I think it works).
14 - use a mask in some way {+1 for layout, +1 NR]
Layout posted 4/11 uses Desert Canyon Sun by Jady Day Studio (released 4/7)
21- use a black and white photo with photo corners {+2}
a photo corner can be that little tab slot that holds the picture to a card, right? I tried to convey the look of things pulled from an envelope and scattered on a desk.
22 - photo placement guide {+1 for layout +1 NR}
My layout was created/posted on 4/8 using Carefree Days collab (released 4/7)
25- scrap a layout you've been wanting to do for ages. {+1}
The picture is more than a year old, and the journaling has been bouncing around in my head for at least as long. It felt good to get it out and onto "paper".
27 - decorate a tag & use it on a layout {+1}
Made my own tags for this one.....
Forgot to mention in the credits that it was scraplifted from webseitler's PL 2011 - Week 2 layout.
31 - free fonts {+2 for layout]
Used Lavanderia (title sticker)
32 - cut out a title {+2 for layout}
Used Carolina Chic by Melissa Bennett (April FWP)
33 - big photo, bold blocks {+1 for layout]
34 - cascading stars {+2 for layout}
Random Portfolio Challenge (on blog 4/17) {+1}
