Blog Designs

Well, I've completed a handful of blog page designs. If you go to my family blog you can see one of the designs in use. I'll be doing more and more as time allows. I'm also working on my first digital scrapbook kit so I go back and forth between the two. So, here are some of the pages I've done so far.







I'm also looking for a few more people to let me design their blogs based on some of their ideas (colors, patterns, bling, etc). If you are interested, let me know.

More challenges completed with Scrapmatters!

The first challenge here was a "choose your own adventure" type challenge where you started out the same and then you had a choice of one way to finish or another. I chose to go with 1. Choose 2 pictures
2. Choose 4 bold papers - 2 pattern and 2 solid
3. Use at least one button
4. Frame your photos
5. Add stitches
6. Use at least one staple
7. Add a title and no journaling
8. Place your date in a creative spot.
Here is what I came up with:

Then, the next challenge was a "SWIM" challenge where we had to use:
Scallops. Somewhere there must be scallops on your page.
White. Something white, a paper, an element, (it can NOT be something in your photo)
Inked edges.
Multiple Photos. Must have more than 1 photo.
I came up with this:

Then the next one was one of my favorites to do. This was a "go for the gold" challenge and for this one we had to scrap an amazing moment. I came up with this one:

Finally, the last one was an Extreme Makeover challenge. In this one we had to take a layout that we had done before and redo it. I picked this one:

I wasn't thrilled with it because I didn't have many supplies to choose from yet. I think it was my 2nd page I ever did!!! So, I did my page over and came up with this:

The challenges have been fun. I have 2 more to do tomorrow!
