Layout # 20 & 21 2011 Challenge



I'm back!!! I have been absent from my blog for several weeks and I am feeling a little sheepish! I think the bulk of my work with the Census is done, at least the really time-sensitive portion of it, so hopefully I will have a little more time to devote to other things. I've been away so much lately as well - I just returned yesterday from a week in Nova Scotia with my family! It was so wonderful to be home - it's funny what you miss, like the sound of the birds and frogs singing, the beautiful country roads, the familiar faces when you go to the mall, and of course time with family. We spent the last night in a gorgeous Victorian inn in Wolfville, I will post pictures in a couple of days.
The first layout here was super easy, patterned paper was just accented with flowers, matted the photo and added the title and journalling piece. The second layout was from a sketch that I've used before and uses paper from CTMH's "You Rock" collection. The chipboard alpha was embossed with clear embossing powder and then inked to colour it, same look as what you get from CTMH's irresistables. Images are from CTMH "Starstruck".

Layout #62 - 65 2010 Layout Challenge **Swap Spoiler**











I recently participated in a swap with some fellow consultants and these are the layouts I created for that swap. We had themes for each category..."birthday girl", "birthday boy", outdoor theme of our choice and a holiday of our choice. I decided to a travel themed page for the outdoor theme, and Canada Day for my holiday theme. We had to use all CTMH products, current papers, etc. I admit I was a little stressed doing this one after just getting back from Convention and then having to create all the pieces for 24 layouts, but it was a lot of fun and I'm pretty happy with these layouts. I just have to find photos for them now! (and the other 20 that I'll be getting back!!!!) The "Canada" paper was handmade (random stamped) using My Acrylix Vintage Canada.
Only 55 to go!
