October Challenge

 Well, here we are again with another month of scrapping.

We are sponsored kindly by Mystical scrapbooking.

Donna has closed her business but there are still bargains to be found here.

Mystical Scrapbooks | Channel your inner artist...

Our picture is this



Ignore the horse. Your challenge is to use lots of little photos.

Put your entries in this album on Facebook 

Here's some examples of mine. 
Wedding proofs are a good idea if you have them




or if you have small photos not large enough to use on a layout on their own, use a filmstrip or grid idea.




Let's see what the team have done

July challenge

 




The July Challenge was inspired by these 2 photos.

Put a hole in it!

Make the hole the focus of your layout!

Back in 2004 I had this layout published in Scrapbook Creations. 


You could use the wet and tear technique as well. I've also done it dry, but the cardstock doesn't curl as well.

Our sponsor this month is Artstacks
