Julie's EFL Challenge!

This page I created for a challenge at Page In Time hosted by Julie (you need to check out her fun blog, she makes me laugh . What I needed to do is scrap a layout using a scrap product or technique starting with each letter E, L and F. For the letter E, I embossed a flower at the bottom of my page, the F and L are all the flowers and lace. The twisted was to use 3 or more photos. Have a nice Memorial Day!

2 in 1 Challenge!

The first challenge I did was to complete this great sketch that was created by Liz. You need to check out her blog The Scrappiest. She has such an amazing DT and I know you will enjoy looking at all the eye candy.

The 2nd challenge that I combine into the sketch was hosted by Barbara at Page in Time. The challenge was to create a layout using a song title as the title. My title kind of fits with my photo except the boys are standing instead of sitting. Oh well, life can't always be perfect.
