HAPPY MID-MONTH PLUS SOME EXCITING NEWS!

Welcome to the middle of November.  While I'm sure some of us are getting ready for our big Thanksgiving celebration coming up soon I have a fun fall layout to share with you from the Colorful Creations team.

Here is the sketch we were provided with:

and this month a Mood Board was also included:



and here is the layout I created:

I so wish that I could get a better photo to share with you...being without a computer at home and having to do everything from the phone and the library computer is so difficult.

Please head over to the Colorful Creations page and enter your own wonderful creation.

This layout was also inspired by Rochelle's Word Art over on Sketches4All . I used a photo of me from a beautiful fall day in Delaware just last week and also added some fall leaves as embellishment.

 

 

I also want to enter this layout over at Word Art Wednesday challenge #158 Anything goes.

 

 

And now for the exciting news...Colorful Creations will be leaving after December but starting up with a wonderful new site called Picture This! You really need to head right over there and see what it is going to be all about!  There is a DT call going on until December 1st.

 

 



SO INSPIRED!

Today I want to share a layout I created last night for the sketch and mood board challenge for the upcoming holiday issue of the online publication 'Let's Get Inspired!'

Here is the sketch which I rotated 1/4 turn clockwise:

and the wonderful holiday mood board:



and here is my layout:

 

 

I also did another holiday layout using the Flying Unicorn challenge Flying Unicorn Gives Back Sketch by Alda and Shona. 

 

Here is the sketch which I rotated 1/4 turn clockwise:

 

and here is my layout:

As soon as I found this paper in my stash I knew it would be perfect for this photo!

I have also entered these layouts in the Create for Less Holiday Contest.

I wish the photos would be clearer but I am still stuck using the phone for photos and the library computer with IE so nothing else is compatible.

WELCOME TO NOVEMBER

Happy November to you all!  It's a great time of year to count our blessing as well as to work on some new challenges that are being presented over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles and Colorful Creations.

At Scrapping Everyday Miracles there are 2 sketch challenges as well as a theme challenge. 

Here is the layout sketch:

 

Here is the card sketch:

And here is our theme:

Song of Songs 2:4                       New International Version (NIV)

Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.

 

The DT has created samples of everything for you...

 

Here is mine for the card:

 

 

I made it for a friend of mine from church that is facing surgery soon as well as having some other difficulties with sick close family members.  I am also going to enter this card in Word Art Wednesday Challenge #156.

 

Over on Colorful Creations it is a sketch/mood board combo.

 

The Sketch:

The Mood board:

 

As I am on Team B I have not yet created with that as I will be working with the next sketch and Mood Board on the 15th.  But I may decide to play along anyway ... why don't you do the same?

 

I hope that you have enjoyed checking out all the new challenges and will now go and play some of them!
