Jules' Challenges

As I type this my hubby has the Military Channel on and is watching some show about WWII! About the bomb on Hiroshima....very interesting....anyway...it is in his blood! It is in our family's blood! We love those who served or who are currently serving!

Remembrance Day for our Canadian friends and Veterans Day for us in the US is all about that! HONORING those who served!

Here is the sketch I came up with:



And the layout is one honoring Vince's father during his 'piping over' ceremony. (Retirement) He served 20 years on submarines!



I decided to keep the pictures original...I thought of scanning and reprinting but I decided I wanted the full feel for this layout!

Now...a little challenge....I love black and white pictures....so my challenge will be simple for you...use at LEAST one black and white picture on your layout! IF you can't come up with a black and white picture THEN you can use a color one but you can ONLY USE black and white pp!!! Your choice...black and white picture, or black and white paper!


One of my favorite holidays of the year is Thanksgiving! A time to GIVE THANKS and a time to be with family....two of the best things we can do! Count our blessings and be with those blessings!

Here is the sketch I came up with:



And here is the layout....a pic of my wonderful hubby several years ago cutting the bird!



Now...for a little added challenge I think this being a holiday with lots of food that we should have a RECIPE challenge with it!

So...here is what you need to add:

At least 3 different pp's
Buttons
Chipboard
And some STRING! (no ribbon here...find some thinner string like you'd tie the bird up with!)

Have fun!

Carla's Challenges

Christmas is my favorite holiday, but I rarely seem to scrap my Christmas photos! Not sure why, as there are so many awesome Christmas papers out there.

My sketch has room for 4 photos -- perfect for me with 4 kiddos You could change it to 2 photos, if desired. Rotate the sketch, or flip it -- be inspired by it!

As an added challenge -- use some BLING on your layout.





I love the purples and oranges of Halloween themed papers, even though we don't celebrate Halloween. The only time any of our children dressed up for trick-or-treating was when my oldest was just a toddler.

Still, you can do some fun stuff with these themed papers.



This sketch can be flipped, rotated, and you can also change one of the pics to an embellishment, as I did. Be inspired by it!

For the challenge, use at least two different ribbons and POP something off the page.

Just spotted this adorable project that Cindy shared in the gallery.  She took a mini terracotta pot and altered it to create an adorable treat holder.  How cute is that?!  Wouldn't these be perfect favors for a Halloween party, or as place setting cards on a holiday table.
