Challenge #11 - Leigh's Layout

Ooops is right!!! We both fell behind. I had a little bit of a hard time with this challenge. Not in choosing the picture or the question, but in finding a kit that would work for the picture and for me. I finally found one I thought would work....and in the end, I was really happy with the result. So here is my Challenge #11....Good Luck?.....

Ok, so we are already finished with Challenge #12, and Kerri should be getting it onto the blog sometime really soon. We are really proud of the results of this last one. We had to work together to do it and I think we work really well together.....though I was probably a little picky for Kerri's taste....LOL. Just kidding Kerri. Anyway, we hope you have enjoyed the race with us. It's not quite over so.....Until next time.....

Blessings!!!

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!
Bye 4 now

Challenge 10 - Roadblock

Well, a little late getting this layout posted. Challenge 10 was a roadblock and I had to complete this one. So I had to do an interview of Kerri with at least 5 questions, I gave her many more than that because she had to work the next day and wanted something to do at work. Then the layout had to be primarily 2 colors, and you had to use elements from 2 different designers. With the new collab that came out at Been There Scrapped That by Liz- SweetDigiScraps and Valarie Ostrom choosing the kit was easy. The hardest part of this challenge was choosing questions that would allow me to learn new things about Kerri. With that said I give you....KayJay's Journey...

We have moved on to Challenge 11 and 12.....this is the last week of the ADSR!! I can't believe it has gone by so quickly. We will be back soon with the next layouts. Until next time....

Blessings!!!!

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.

Thanks for looking!
Cu soon

Challenge #9 - Leigh's Layout

This has been a really hard week for me, and I think it has for Kerri also, so as a result we both are running late with our layouts for the Race. I spent the last part of last week at the Dr's office, I had re-injured my back after more than 10 years and seriously if you haven't ever had kids before this pain ranks right up there with labor. So with a shot of cortisone, some muscle relaxers, pain killers and a heating pad I am almost back to normal with that. Then I spent the first part of this week dealing with an abscessed tooth, again not fun. So with some antibiotics that is now starting to go away and I am feeling almost like a normal person again. But enough about my personal life, since you are here to see our Race layouts. Challenge 9 was interesting, it had to include pictures of two generations (if it was in one picture that was fine), a flower, lace, a metal object, and a "vintage" or "ephemera" object like an old clock, or and old book. It took me a while to find a picture I wanted to use, then with some thinking I knew what kit I wanted to use.....just one problem.....it's been retired. Hmmmmm, well lets see, so I started through my stash of kits on CD and what did I find??? The kit I wanted to use, I already had it (I thought I might have which is why I was going through my stash). So, I know what you're saying....let's see the layout already......OK, here you go......it's called Time.......

Ok so I'm off to start on Challenge 10, it's a Roadblock and since Kerri did the last one guess what??? I get to do this one. I have some ideas for it so maybe I can get started on the layout and finish it tomorrow after I get to talk with Kerri. So until next time....

Blessings!!!

Challenge #8 - Leigh's Layout

Well, before you ask, NO Kerri and I did not plan to lift from the same gallery. But what and HONOR for Jan (IntenseMagic). I have Loved her gallery for a while, and this is the second lift I have done from her gallery. Anyway, like Kerri said the challenge was to life from a favorite gallery, a "scrapping idol" and in the layout include a star and the word dream. So this is the layout of Jan's that I lifted from....

And the layout I did......

So I no longer have a baby any more (tear), he's growing up so quick and it's so great. And yet there is a part of me that wishes he would have stayed that little baby for a while. Ok, so the wait is on to see if we will go on to the next round. Until next time...

Blessings!!!

Challenge 8 - Kerri

Well, here it is, I got a bit sidetracked reading in the evenings this week, but I've finished now, and just in time to get the Challenge finished.
This week, we had to go to one of our favourite Scrappers Galleries and lift one of their layouts. In addition we had to include a star of some sort and the word dream.

I lifted this layout by Jan (intensemagic)

And here is what I made of it, I turned it 90° because I had a landscape photo.

I thought this photo was just perfect for the quote! Mum's words were "The 4 little horrors", that fits too!
