S.W.A.T. challenge

This is my layout for the Drill 14 at S.W.A.T.

 

The challenge was to use a sketch......

....and stickers!!!

Although I have lots of stickers...as do we all....I am not very good at using them!!!

Tag (bottom left), word stickers '100% Girl and It's a Girl Thing'.....I stuck to card first and then cut out so I could get some height!! 'Play' is just stuck down!!!!  The date tag at the top was also a sticker thingy!!!  I didn't do too bad with the sketch...just a few minor tweaks!!! LOL

The challenge ends on the 28th August...so need to get your skates on to join in!!

The Scrappy Friends Challenges

This is my layout for the Scrappy Friends challenges....

 

Every month they do a challenge each and if you incorporate all of them you get entered into another draw....so 4 chances to win with one layout!!!

For August this is Brenda's sketch....

 

Rochelle required a 'Travel' theme...

Kristi's recipe was....wood, stripes and mixed alphas.

I followed the sketch, and it is definitely travel related as Alex and Cassie were probably travelling at 30,000ft!!! The wooden embellishments are the 'vacation' tag, 'camera' tag and the pennant with the date...I think the stripes and alpha are obvious!!! LOL

You have until the end of the month to join in!!! I am sure they would love to see you!!

Layout of my daughter holding a bearded dragon lizard.....she doesn't like reptiles and is not good when they are behind glass so she was very brave holding this one!!!!
