A few challenges

This week I've combined two challenges onto one single layout. For this page I've used the pencil lines sketch 230 and the recent challenge on the better living through scrapbooking blog. I came across this blog the other day and like the sort of challenges that they give, so I shall have to keep an eye on this blog too and do some of the challenges :)

The sketch over at pencil lines this week is


The B.L.T.S challenge blog gives a guideline and a few other things to include in your LO. This weeks challenge is to use nothing more sophisticated than scissors and paper punches to create your page. I thought this would be easy as I was struggling to remember the last time I used the cricut or anything like that for a LO, but when actually doing the page I realised I use the sidekick and sizzix dies quite a bit, especially for titles. However, I managed it, with the most technical thing I used being punches.

I also had to use at least 2 of the given criteria (see here). So on my page I've used a page from a book to create both the flower and a circle scrap, I've made some paper people, and I've also made the flower using an online tutorial. The flower tutorial can be found here (I used the second tutorial), I've discovered that this works better with cardstock than paper as this flower hasn't got such a lovely shape as the other one I did on this page.

I hope you like my page,

Bye for now :)
