Just Me

 




Thanks to "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"  for reminding me to get pictures of my self and make layouts.
I made this layout today for the October challenge #142 at "CHALLENGE YOURSELF".   To use Black and White plus one color you like.  I chose red to go with the top I have on.   I admit I wasn't sure if I would do this challenge because I just didn't know how to just incorporate black and white only.    But I started  looking though my paper and found this pattern of just black on white.   I knew it was perfect, without this challenge I don't know if I would have ever gotten around to using this paper on anything.  But with my paint splashes of red and the red card stock and patterned paper behind my picture and a tiny red flower embellishment, I'm so glad I pushed myself and did this challenge.

Petting Zoo


 



I used the sketch at "SKETCHES IN THYME"  for this layout.

Then I  made sure that I used the colors in the Mood Board Palette at  "LASTING MEMORIES."

I also used one of the Bingo Squares at  "SCRAPPING N CHATTING"   to use word/phrase stickers.

I made this layout today with the  "SCRAPPY FRIENDS" challenges for September.   I used the September sketch at  "ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOG" per usual for Rochelle a great sketch.         

 


Then I combined it with  "SCRAP WITH STACY"  Tic-Tac-Toe challenge  I did the diagonal, left top to bottom right.   2 or more photos, Banner & Twine.


I also used two challenges at another group, "SCRAPPIN N CHATTIN".  Check us out, would love to get new members.

We have two new challenges every month and a yearly challenge and a quarterly sketch challenge.    This layout works for the layout challenge to use a Red/White/Blue color combo and then for one of the squares on the Bingo challenge for Stitching faux or real.
