Shimelle's (i)NSD Challenges

I have to admit that I had not really read through all of Shimelle's posts before completing some of these layouts while visiting my friend LeAnne this week. However, when we went through the (inter)National Scrapbook Day challenges, I was happy to discover that I had something to submit for quite a few of the them.

First, my layout showcasing photos from our ride on the Galveston-Port Bolivar Ferry works for the challenge to create a page using red and blue.


Next, it was a totally happy coincidence that I had pulled a shaped paperclip to use as an embellishment . . .


on this layout with photos from several years ago.


Luckily LeAnne had some red paint, so I was able to create a background that matched the tablecloth in my photos and that qualifies this layout for the challenge to create a "messy" background.


And finally, since I used a card from the Pebbles Harvest collection as a title block and a Project Life card for my journaling, this next layout fits the challenge to use 3x4 cards on a 12x12 layout.


Did you join in with any of Shimelle's challenges this week? There are still a couple of days to link up!

  5. Isn't it fun when you discover you've met a set of challenge requirements by accident? I like the messy table cloth page - looks so familiar after a family bbq!
