August Challenges

 Howdi! How are you all doin' this fine day. I cannot believe that we are almost at the end of August already, this month flew by so fast! Or maybe I am getting slower?? Humm not sure perhaps a mix of both!! Sooo I had better get in and load my layouts that I have created for 3 challenges this month before this month runs out!! Mind you, I am looking forward to Spring in my neck of the woods, but the wintery days are not over yet!!

The first layout is for the challenges over at Black Magic Sketches on Facebook  and it is..

To be inspired by this sketch, and use at least 2 of the colors on black cardstock base.. I have kinda stuck to the sketch, but I have used two portrait photos instead..

Die cut stars inspired by the sketch and some flowers and doileys with some bling.

You were born to shine

My beautiful grandie!!

The next layout is for the challenge over at Whats in the Bickie Tin on Facebook  and it is to create a layout inspired by water.. I found a photo of my Grandie jumping the waves at the beach, so I thought that was a perfect photo for this challenge..

I have used an older range of papers and embellishments from Kaisercraft.

Happy days

Oh the beach is so much fun!!

and the last layout is for the challenge over at Soul Scrappers on Facebook and this one is for the Tic Tac Toe which was..

I took the line border punch, one photo and fussy cutting..

Lots of fussy cutting!

Life is better with you

I have set myself a goal to do at least 3 challenge layouts a month, so far I am keeping that goal.. My creative time gets shared with gardening which I love, so as Spring comes along, humm the garden might get a bit more of my time! but I love it!

Thanks for coming by, I do hope things are going well for you.. do take care, until next time..
