Circle Challenges

I worked on a couple layouts for some different challenges yesterday and they both had circles.

The first layout, Cheers, is a photo of Tom in Quebec City with my favorite polar bear beer, and uses sketch #137 from Creative Scrappers.

The second layout, Printer Bed, with cute Saffron sleeping on the printer in the sun, is using this week's sketch at Sketch Inspiration. I also combined this with the Fuzzy Friends challenge at The Scrappy Tree and the Use Your Stash challenge at Scrapbook Daisies to use two pattern papers, 3 brads, 5 buttons, a border, letter stickers, sewing, and a couple embellishments. That's a lot of stuff!

Chillin'

It's been a while since I participated in some challenges but thought it's about time to start again. This is a picture of me and Hailey on the deck on Christmas day. I used Sketch 97 at The Scrappiest Blog and combined it with the weekly challenge at Scrapbook Express to make a photo frame.

Ad Challenge at Scrapbook {Express}ions Blog

It's my turn to host this week's challenge at Scrapbook {Express}ions blog. I hope you'll join us in the challenge.

This week’s challenge is to be inspired by a page of an article from Food Network Magazine. When I saw this page, I thought it would be perfect for a scrapbook layout.

I liked the photo placement and used that on my layout.
