November Memory Works Challenge #1

I completed the November challenges on the Memory Works message board. I was excited to get them done and get back in the swing of things after being so sick for so long.

The first challenge was to design a thank you card based on a pagemap. The goal was to thank a veteran for their service to the country in honor of veteran's day. I liked the pagemap so much I made a few extra cards.

The papers are all from MemoryWorks Express kits. There is always such a great variety to work with. The large red flower is from Petaloo. I love their flowers!

Winner!!!! Silly layout

Yeah!!!! This is another winning layout for the MemoryWorks challenge! This time we were to follow a pagemap and include flowers. It is hard to use flowers on layouts with boys without looking too girly but I think I pulled it off. I love that the paper and flowers match Julian's shirt! And who couldn't love their silly faces! The flowers are all from Petaloo.

Journaling challenge

This is another layout for a MemoryWorks challenge. We wer challenged to use journaling as a significant part of our layout. I have to admit it was difficult to make myself journal. I usually leave space for journaling but don't actually complete the journalling. I always tall myself I will go back and do it later...which doesn't usually happen. This layout focuses on my step-mom Susan. She is great! (No evil step-mom here) The flowers are from Petaloo. This is the first time that I have used their large flowers but I love them! I am definately hooked!
