SS Challenge week 15

There was so much to share in the time I was missing but, as some of the scrapbookers say, sometimes life gets in the way. I was blogging everyday in my head, but those posts aren't here for some reason. Anyway, we got six layouts from the past challenge. Here they are:

and a close up:

I made this one for my husband. I forgot to order a couple of pictures, but that's what nice about this type of layouts - I can always replace any of the patterned paper square with a photo.

... and a close up. The paper pack I used for this layout was so rich that I didn't need anything else to dress up these squares.

There were three pages made by new contestants. I can't really comment on any of these since I was involved in all of them. Very much involved. Well, here is the first one, which was made by Tanya:

... and a close up. NC stand for North Carolina.

Second one was made by Irina. I really hope she takes a moment to write a little journaling for this layout. This is the one that she and her kids would love to read over and over again. Here is her page:

... close up of metal piece, which I totally love:

And a third one by Suzanna. She didn't do the whole layout, but she chose her pictures, papers, wrote her journaling and decided to use circles for her page. Here is Suzanna's layout:

... and a close up:

And this lovely page was made by Katya. Her pictures say it all. I like how she matted all of her photos and added her title to the side, making it a little more interesting yet staying close to the challenge. Here is Katya's page:

With the nice weather outside and so much things to do during summer, we don't always get as much time to scrapbook. For that reason, I decided to spread our challenges for two weeks apart. I will share anything I create (or should I say "I'll try"), but our SS will be two weeks long for summer time. If you create something you would like to share, just send it in and I'll post it along with my random pages.

SS Challenge for week 16 - Black and white plus one color. Make a page with black/white patterned papers and add one more color to it (you can use different shades of that color).

See you next time!
