October Kraft It Up

Well, it's that time of the month again - time to upload layouts for all the competitions around. 
This is my layout for the fabulous Kraft It Up Challenge Blog.  This month, the challenge was to create a layout that was either Monochromatic, Shabby/Vintage Style, or Minamalistic.
I couldn't make up my mind, so I did all 3 - this layout is about my journey with anxiety, and how I need to do my self talk to improve....

I've used a mixture of Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden and Prima Reflections.
TFL!!

Get Picky Challenge

For the first challenge this month at Get Picky, the challenge was to use the word "Celebrate" as inspiration.I did this layout:

These photos were taken on Christmas Day 2010 - and I couldn't resist the title because my cheeky little monkey of a son looks like quite the imp....hehe...
Had oodles of fun making flowers, punching borders, doilies and leaves and even did some stamping - something I got for inspiration from the talented Trudi Harrison here on Anna's Craft Cupboard's blog.

Really loved doing this challenge - it was great to get into Christmas scrapping again!!
