NEW EXCITING CHALLENGE SITE!!

Beyond The Door

Beyond The Door is a new challenge site run by the lovely Catie Unger, and I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of her new amazingly talented Design Team.  Click HERE to check out the gorgeous creations by the Design Team and here are the challenge details:

On the 1st of each month, a new room will be revealed. Be inspired by the colour combination used in the room, the patterns, the decor, the textures, the objects in the room or by what the room is itself (for example, for a kitchen, create a page about cooking with your kids). You will have until the last day of the month to submit your layout, card or OTP project, and winners will be announced on the 5th of each month.

Here is my interpretation of our 1st room which was a nursery.  I was inspired by the colours and the alphas on the wall.


Here is a pic of the 1st challenge room and there are 3 criteria you must also add to your page:
1. use tags on your project (e.g. office tags etc)
2. handwritten journalling around an element on your project
3. this quote by Elizabeth Stone: "Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide to forever have your heart go walking around outside your body".




New Challenges for Challenge Heaven
The new challenges are up at Challenge Heaven for this month.. there is bound to be a challenge to inspire you here and some great prizes up for grabs.  My DT challenges for this month are:

Number Challenge -  The criteria are:  4 pics, 3 butterflies, 2 word title, 1 kraft as your base and use doodling on your layout.  Here is the LO I created with my fav paper range from Echo Park atm.


Quote Challenge - You are to use the Quote "She's/He's Got the Look" and use a shipping tag.  Here is my take using papers from Crate Paper and some paint for my background to make the colours pop.




Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)
