Friday Challenge #3:

Soaking up the sun...are you?? A lot of time when we are out soaking up the sun we love to catch up on our reading too. Have you ever really looked at how many different fonts are used to write a book? There are bold words, italic words, all caps to express emotion of some sort, chapter titles are often done in a different font. Let's go with that this week, for your challenge you need to use at LEAST 4 different fonts on your layout, you can use them in the title alone or spread it however you want but we want to clearly see 4 different fonts throughout your layout!

 Friday Challenge #4:

 This week's theme is "Out and About," but how about looking no further than the town in which you live. Every town has a story. Is there a historical landmark in your town? {General George Washington passed through my town, and I'm pretty sure he slept in a house-now-turned-museum--need to brush up on my history a bit.} Or a favorite place you like to visit--for us it's our town's library and park. Scrapbook a LO about your town (or your childhood town) for this challenge.

All projects for these challenges are to be uploaded to the gallery and linked in your check in post no later than midnight 7/10/11.

Michelle's Sketch

For all you multi-photo layout lovers out there, I have a three photo sketch coming at you. Remember, sketches are jumping off points. Flip it, rotate it, swip-swap item placement, make it you own. The important thing is that you use it to inspire your layout and get another memory recorded!

The sketch:


My layout:


I dug my hands into three stashes to create my page: my own, Carla's (from the stash swap--the numbers and chipboard), and Scrapbook Heaven's (from the August Petite Kit--all the pp's), and used the following items:
*5 brads
*chipboard (heart)
*floral pp
*striped pp
*polka dot pp
*numbers

Can't wait to see what you do with this sketch!

This challenge is due Saturday, the 28th at midnight CST. Post your layout in our gallery and add a link and/or image here to be eligible for prizes.
