Challenge Time !

Each month over at Sarah's Cards' blog (scroll down to the post on the 10th August) they set a challenge. This months challenge was to do a layout using 5 different papers.
I started out with a photo of Charlie when he fell on his arm on the trampoline and for a few days we were not sure if he had broken it or not, thankfully he had only badly bruised it. The challenge was to use five different papers for the LO and I chose the My Mind Eye Quite Contrary Little Boy Blue collection - told you I had quite a nice stock of "old" MME. I've made a conscious decision to use these papers instead of stroking them !!!

Once I made this LO I found I quite enjoyed this challenge of using five papers so went ahead and made another one with a sheet of 3 Bugs in the rug Chloe range, which I used for the cut out flowers and some Echo Park Little Girl for the background and the borders down the bottom. The photo is of Sophie having her first taste of " real" food and took to it like a duck to water!

Well that's it for today. I'll be back tomorrow with another LO using some more of the new Lost & Found 2 papers from My Minds Eye !
