Color Challenge at DSDI

Anyone up for a color challenge? I participated in one over at Digi Scraps Drive In. The colors to work with are very bright great for summer pages.

here is the layout that I made for the challenge

Template Challenge at DSDI

I am always looking for new challenges because I scrap so often. Sometimes I just get in a rut and can't figure out what to scrap. So this is when I tend to look for challenges. It allows me to make pages I probably wouldn't have made. I found a template challenge at Digi Scraps Drive In.

You can participate in the challenge and get this template here.

This is the page that I made using the template for my niece's album.
