Once again I have been totally blown over by the layouts you guys have sent in! So far this challenge we have had 3 layouts submitted.
The first layout is by Jodie Butler and check out her blog here. Out for publication! Congrats Jodie!
The second layout was sent in by Kath Rodgers and her work can be found here.

And the third layout was submitted by Kim Toms and you can see her blog here.

As for me, every layout I did this week used strips of journalling as I do love the design element to them.
If you complete the challenge you can email it along to me at bjarrett@tpg.com.au and I will pop it up on the blog. Happy scrapping!

Ok, so I don’t know about you, but I am finding so much inspiration here at the moment! The delightful Creative Team are cranking out some awesome layouts and I must say I am loving everything that the layouts that people been emailing in have been nothing short of exceptional!
So, let’s get on to challenge #4.
This week it’s something a little different. It’s a technique challenge. And well, let’s say it is quite a popular technique! One I use all the time!
JOURNAL IN STRIPS
Easy peasy! I cannot wait to see the layouts you all do!
Here is what the Creative Team came up with:
Melanie:

Wow. Gorgeous layouts this week submitted by a couple of fellow scrapbookers.
The first layout I received was from Jodie Butler and you can check out more of her layouts here: http://creativityandlove.blogspot.com/

And the other layout I received was from Kim Toms and you can view more of her scrapbooking here: http://www.glasshalffull-kim.blogspot.com/

I did end up doing a layout based on a positive affirmation but since it’s a commissioned piece I can’t share just yet, but let me tell you, it feels so good to even just think about these positive affirmations and how they apply to your life.

This challenge is a little left field, but when I saw the concept, I thought it would make a fabulous basis for a layout!
Here is this fortnights challenge:
Scrap an Affirmation.
Need help? Glad you asked! Check out this site:
http://www.goddess.com.au/affirmations.htm
And scroll to the bottom half of the page to get some ideas as to what topics you could create your layout about.
Remember, this layout doesn’t have to be about you. It could be about anyone or anything. That’s the great thing about interpretation! Don’t forget to email it through to bjarrett@tpg.com.au once you have completed your layout so we can show it on the blog!
This fortnight we are joined by a Guest Creative Team Member, Heidi. You can see Heidi’s blog and work here: http://lilymaysmummy.blogspot.com/

Followed by our regular Creative Team member, Tamara:

And then there’s Melanie:

Following up with Tania:

We can’t wait to see your layout!
