As I mentioned in my last post, life has been a bit of a “challenge” lately. However, I’m coping. Although things are not easy, I’ve been feeling really uplifted by the numerous phone calls, texts and emails from friends who really care. Not to mention the comments on here. Your prayers and encouragement mean SO much to me – and I thank you.
Onto some different “challenges” now! Good ones. Scrapbooking ones. 
First up is the latest challenge at Scrap The Boys (deadline is Saturday 31 October). This month, you need to use the following advert as inspiration for your layout:
The Creative Team have come up with some amazing layouts to excite and inspire you. For my example, I took inspiration from the advert’s colour scheme (blue, red & black on a white background), the circle elements, and the text/journalling around the outside of the circles:
MY LITTLE SPIDERMAN
Yesterday I posted a new challenge at The Sketch Book (deadline Sunday 11 October).
The challenge is to do a layout about YOU! Journal/list a number of truths/facts about yourself. You may choose to have no photo, or include photo(s) of yourself on your layout. The number of truths/facts should match your current age. For example, mine is called “31 Things” because I’m 31. 
31 THINGS
What fantastic LOs Hannah! Love the spiderman one!

I saw the Spidey LO over at ‘Scrap the Boys’ earlier. It’s a knock out!
Love the second LO too. Using the calendar is a very clever idea indeed

Oh the spidey layout is just great! Kamden’s little face could fit in there too. I think our boys would get along so great, they have such similiar interests
Praying for you and your family and sending you lots of strength and big hugs

I think the reason I love your layouts so much (and maybe it is also why you love to scrapbook?) is that you get to use your wonderful creativity with both your hands in creating the visuals, and also your mind when you write your journalling. In addition, you always find different and interesting ways to express yourself. I never get tired of seeing how you rise to the challenges.
Love and hugs to you!
