CHALLENGE YOURSELF / STUCK?! Nov 1st, & SHOW US YOUR STUFF Nov..

A really warm Hello to you today.. the earth is baking outside as we are having a very hot change come by.. So it is stay inside and do something gentle.. so I thought I would put up some layouts for challenges I have done.

I have played along with SCRAP YOUrself #23 which is to use this tic tak toe board..
and I have used the right side up and down which is tags, flowers and doileys.. 
I have also used the lovely sketch by STUCK?! for November 1st which looks like..
and my layout...

some closer views.
 I love bows!
You can see the doiley, the tag and flowers..

Make every moment..
This is a photo of us at Christmas a couple of years ago now..  My older kids are so busy I have to try and grab photos of us together when ever I can..

And I have created a layout for Novembers challenge over at SHOW US YOUR STUFF which has a travel theme.. My travel photo is of my Daughter when she had a trip over to Mexico in July this year.. and yes I nicked the photo of facebook!!hehe!

some closer views.

my travel themed words..
My hand made embellishment is the flair from Funky Flairs.

Travel..
My map paper is right on the base of my layout and in my typical fashion I have nearly covered it with my layers!!!

I certainly appreciate you coming by and thanks so much for the comments you leave me too!

    Another couple of inspirational pages Lizzy. The layering on the Christmas page combined with the pointsetias and the bow, create a really festive feel. The travel page, gets my toes a tapping to hit the road. Sadly, my older bones won't survive as well as this bright young girl on your layout. TFS

    Your layouts are both beautiful. Love the richness of colour of the first and travel papers always draw me in. We all seem to nick photos of our children from Facebook.

    Beautiful as always Lizzy! (You never let me down when I visit!) Love your take on the travel themed challenge (I hear you about starting with something as the base and then almost covering it up - I am guilty of that often too! haha) I love that photo of your daughter with the columns too, I would love to visit Mexico! Thanks for playing along with us at Show Us Your Stuff! X
