Scrap therapy October challenge

I was browsing around scrap therapy forum and found the challenge for October which was scrapping about an important girl in your life - I only did this layout last week so as Kaitlyn is one of the important girls in my life I thought I would enter this layout even though it was not my intention to so when I created it. Katie looks a bit grown up with the hands in the pockets : )

Scrap Therapy scrapping with the stars round one

I found a great new competition at scrap therapy "scrapping with the stars" thanks for telling me about it Kim. It has 10 rounds .

This is my take for round one - do a black and white layout - the only colour can be in the photo. Just love this photo of Kaitlyn. Round 2 has hand written journalling as the centre stage of the layout with a touch of red. Should be interesting.... bit of a challenge for me.....

Layouts from Current challenges

I have been doing a few layouts for various challenges as well as doing a submission for a design team and have had a bit of scrapping time which is so great. Heres another three layouts



this is for the October Sketch at scrapbooking by design - my journalling is hidden this time under the middle on a pull out tag. Layout shows Brendan at Pixi Photos _ the title is due to the fact he had two sessions at the studio as he cried the first time. I cut his fringe before we went again and the little sore on his nose healed.

This is for scrapbooking by designs October layout challenge - use three non scrapping items. I used a zip corrugated card and an iron on flower motif.

This layout is a challenge at scrapbook outlet to use a product at least three times I chose Basic Grey and used patterned paper, chipboard letters and shapes as well as diecuts.
