July Challenges

Here's how it works - at the beginning of each month, I announce which layouts from Cherish and Imagine that we are going to be doing. I will also post my example. You then create the layout using your choice of theme, papers, orientation, etc. and send me a link or a picture of your layout. I will even accept pages that you have previously done, as long as they use that month's layout. I will draw a name from all participants and the winner will get a fun bundle of cards at the end of the month. It's fun to see the different results from the same layout!


For the month of July...


...the CHERISH Challenge is 'Balanced Blocks' on pages 104 and 105




On this layout I used some fun Basic Gray papers I received from Melissa Priest - thanks Melissa! I was excited that the CTMH Dutch Blue ricrac ribbon matched so well. I also used CTMH's Wishes booking set, Solo #3, and some silver hinges and star brads.

...the IMAGINE Challenge is 'Conclusion Combo' on pages 56 and 57



These pages are the conclusion of my 6-page tribute to my horse, Ghostbuster - all 6 pages go from 1985, when he was born, to 2007. He was a gift to me from my Grandpa Sager for my 8th (?) birthday, but I've known him since he was born. He's now 23 and doing great! There was a horse show in Star Valley a couple weeks ago and the little girl who rode him got High Point in her age division - he is such an amazing horse, simply irreplaceable!
