Contest entries for Kathryn's Blog Life on the scrapbeach

I had so much fun doing these layouts for the contest. I hope you all enjoy them.


 This first one is for Challenge #1.  Use a grid.  I chose to do a 12x12 layout simply because I don't do them often I am working on getting more of them done.

I used the grid as the backround. I also loved the idea that this is my whole family as children. When my children go up I am going to make the companion page to this be all of us as grown ups.

Challenge #2 was to use red white and blue as the colors in your layout. It is getting very close to valentines day so I had my hunny on my mind.

I love this in the corner. I have had this fat quarter for almost 10 years and I am so happy to use it. I thought it fit so well with my hubby and with the red white and blue theme.

Challenge #3 was to use layers. I have never ever been so bold as to use so many layers, but I LOVE it. I think this one is my favorite.

Here is a close up.

Here is the whole page.  The lace on this page was given to my by the best besty ever my invisible friend. (giggle)  THank you for the amazing lace Julie!!

I am happy that I got to participate in this contest. I love getting to do these challenges because I learn so much about scrapbooking every time. I love to see how many people interpret the same sketch a million different ways. I also love to see other peoples entries. Every time I see one I say "WOW I never thought of that.  I hope you enjoyed the layouts I made. I must confess that there were 4 challenges, but I am not sure if I have time to finish all 4 since they are due to be linked to her website by 9 pm eastern.
