Challenge #11 - Kerri

Oops, I'm a bit behind, I finished this a while back. the challenge was to scrap a layout with a question, that you have always wanted to ask of anyone living or dead. The only journalling allowed on the layout is the question. Mum had a great idea for me, but I didn't have the bar of chocolate at home to take a picture of. She suggested "Why do you make me put on weight?" I really wanted to do it, but during the evening Sunny our cat came home, and then I remembered one of THE questions that I would love an answer to:

The picture is of Robert and Sunny on the day before Sunny went missing for 7(!) months! I'm so glad he came back!

Challenge #9 - Kerri's Layout

for some reason I found this challenge the most difficult. Even though it sounded simple enough, include at least two generations on your layout, some lace, something metal, a flower and some ephemera. the first layout I did has gone to layout heaven, it just wasn't right. But I quite like this one.

its a picture of Zoe with my brother, Mum and Grandad. A very treasured photo it was about time it got its own layout.
Thanks for looking!
Cu soon

Challenge #6

this challenge was a so-called "road block", meaning that only one of us needed to do it. As Leigh said, I volunteered. So here is what I had to do, I had to browse leigh's gallery find a layout to scraplift, then flip it over and turn it 45° and use it as a sketch, but it had to have the same amount of elements on it.
OK, so here is the layout Leigh helped me choose (too many great ones in her gallery, so I needed some help)
this is the layout flipped and turned, so that you know what I am talking aboutAnd here is my layout based on Leighs

It was again great fun, and I am now looking forward to Sunday when the next challenge is posted

Kerri's Take on Challenge 4

uff, that was difficult! It was a challenge with journalling and not only that but from the soul. Well, I read the rules, re-read the rules and hoped for some hints. Later in the day they put up some tips on what to journal about. One of them was, what would you want your children to know, well, I would want them to know just how my husband and I were meant to be together, so I journalled. Then I had to find out just what sort of elements I was allowed to use, 3 of them had to be "arty" or "altered art". I looked this up on the actual site and saw that a Cupid would be considered "ephemera" which falls in the category "altered art". So here's hoping that this layout qualifies for the fourth challenge

Journalling reads:
Dear Boys,
Cupid had his work cut out for him with Mummy and Daddy. I truly believe that we were meant to be from the beginning.
At the beginning of our lives, we lived in different countries, Daddy in Germany and I was in England, BUT even then cupid was working on getting us together. The towns we lived in were twinned. Eventually I moved to Germany, and when Cupid thought we were ready, he got us in the same pub together at the same time. Daddy even recalls seeing me there (it was carnival and everyone was dressed up, but there was only one Pippi-Long-Stocking there, and that was me). I recall looking around and thinking "there are some cute looking guys here, shame they are mostly drunk" - I was designated driver and stone cold sober. So unfortunately Cupid had no luck that time.
Two years later Cupid saw to it, that I changed jobs and was working for the same company as Daddy, even though it was in two different towns. A few months into the job and my boss sent me to headquarters to meet the people important for my job. Daddy was one of those.
As soon as I laid eyes on Daddy and walked into his office, I turned a very bright shade of crimson. Luckily Daddy did not know that normally I am very pale. As I headed for the hotel that night, I knew, didn't understand, but I KNEW, Daddy was something special.
2 weeks and lots of emails later we were together. And 4 years to that day, you, Robert, were born. We got married 14 months later, when I was 16 weeks pregnant with you, Richard.

and like Leigh said, thanks for following us here and in the galleries, its fun to read all the comments!
CU soon

Challenge #3 - Leigh's Layout

Well, when we started this challenge I knew I wanted to choose between two galleries of mine, so when I looked at them both I couldn't resist doing a "remix" of my first layout in my very first gallery ever. So here are the before and after layouts....hope you enjoy them both. I totally LOVE the new one, but then again it really reflects my style now. Would LOVE to hear what you think.....

Kerri's entry for Challenge No 3

I made this challenge more difficult for myself by having two ideas, when I started out. I went ahead and made two layouts and then couldn't decide.
so the challenge was to find the first layout uploaded to a gallery and then lift it! The only thing that had to remain the same, was the photo and any journalling on the page. Well, this is the layout that is my first at Been There Scrapped That

I did this layout sometime at the beginning of last year for a CT contest at a site that no longer exists. So on to a rework. Here are both the layouts I came up with.

This is the first one I did, which I liked a lot, but I still wanted to try the other idea I had.

and this is the second layout.

Totally different, for the challenge I have uploaded the first layout, but I still love all three of them.

I think leigh will be by later on with her layout, I have already seen it in the gallery and love it!
CU soon
