5 on Friday at Apron Strings Design

Here's our challenge from Lori for this week:


below are your ingredients to work with for today:
1 sheet brown cardstock
1 sheet patterned paper with swirl/vine pattern
1 acrylic item
1 set of brads
1 length of ribbon
Outside of any journaling and a title, only the above ingredients are allowed. Because of my lateness with this challenge, and the fact that tomorrow is Halloween, this is due to be linked up by Sunday evening.


I got another Disney page done with this one.

Snow Day at Apron Strings Designs

And another challenge from Lori: I think it's a great day for a sketch challenge. Below is the current sketch from Nuts About Sketches. I love it because it's a one-pager (I don't do many of those) and it has six photos on it! How great is that. There's a twist with this challenge, though . . . create two layouts to be eligible for the Cookie Jar drawing. One layout use the sketch as is and then on the other one alter the sketch; make it a 2-pager, rotate the layout, adjust the photos sizes, etc. However you choose to alter it.
Link up your layouts in the comment section by Friday to be eligible for a Treat.

Here is my first LO.


Then I rotated the sketch on it's side,

focused on the photo grid, and added a second page.

Okay, here I am kicking and screaming my way into new technology. I can't believe I am setting up a blog.
The purpose of my blog, is a spot to play along with challenges.
