Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good challenge. In fact, most of my favorite layouts were created as a result of challenge. Here’s a few I did lately –
This first one I made for Wendy’s 3 kits, 3 ways challenge over on the DD blog. I added a few additional products to the 3 that Wendy asked me to use – these incredibly cool torn paper templates are a totally different look for me. I felt all Ritascottage when I used them 🙂 (it’s a good thing Rita!)

The next one for my the ad challenge that I run on 2peas. Oh and Aimee’s photography challenge over on Scrapbooks.com – she had a scavanger list of things for us to find that included shiny, sparkly and dress-up which automatically led me to Molly! Yeah, not only do I love challenges but I love combining challenges – I tried to combine this with last week’s journaling challenge but I didn’t read the challenge carefully enough and I was too lazy to change the journaling after I realized.

And my final challenge was from Janet – the Color Combo challenge. To be honest I stayed away from this challenge for the longest time because I didn’t want to be restricted to certain colors but I’ve done a few now and it’s fun. She asked me to be the guest designer for this week after I send her a suggestion for a color combo from a dress I saw on Anthropologie. This one was HARD but I love the end result. Oh and about the journaling –what do you say when you want someone to move a tiny bit? We say scoot or scooch.

Love them all! Love all those torn edges on the first one, and that photo of Tommy is fabulous – cute story, too! You really are amazing at challenges – I need some of that to rub off on me! (Or maybe I should just try a challenge instead of being afraid of them! :))
and they are all amazing! i love that ballet photo and the “rita” influence there 🙂 and just when do you find the time to crank these masterpieces out?!?
Gotta love a good challenge!
