SL #15 Is a Real Challenger!!! UPDATED

This layout is by Kerrin Quall, who used the Flip-flops range of embellishments. Journaling in the file folders.

I just saw this layout and was IMMEDIATELY drawn to the mix of black and white and color pictures and the use of a little bit of everything and having it not overwhelm the design or the pictures!!!

I know we can't do the journaling under the file folders unless we want to do an altered layout - but we can sure do the rest of it!!!!!

I think we can really challenge ourselves with this one!

If you get a chance, browse Kerrin's gallery - you will be amazed at what she does.

So here we go - THE LIFTS!!!!

this one's my entry - and it's fast becoming my favorite of the lifts I did so far! I used Gina Cabrera for most of it - the ribbons, the background and cross stitches from her new Daydreams kit, I made the file folders with a brush and eraser from one of her backgrounds from the Shabby Shoppe, Dymo letters from Exuberant, beautiful tag from Wallflower Kit, letters and blessing tag from Forever Grateful. I used Ronna Penner's stitches from Essential Notions Stitches. I made the vellum flowers! :-) Font; MA Sexy

Amber says this about her layout: "Here is my loose version - and you were right. . .that was challenging!  It took me a bit longer than I planned - but I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.  Thanks for the fun challenges.  I like already having an idea for a page and not trying to create one from scratch! =) Credits:  Bg paper and some of the ribbons, the flowers, and ric rac from Michelle Underwood - I'm yours kit.  Some of the ribbon from Shabby Princess - sweet sprinkles kit.  Flower doodle (recolored) from Sarah carling as well as some of the ribbons from MishMash collection kit. Font - dinerdotcom, and annie btn, alpha (3) and brackets also from Michelle Underwood's I'm Yours kit.  =) 

Here's Janna's: J Thanks you for such good inspriation....I attached my SL Pictures of all 4 of my girls 1-2006 I used Heather Ann's kit from Shabby Princess dot com, called True Love, Font=DonnysHand.

mlewis offers this: I loved doing this one! It took alot of playing around before I was satisfied, but I think I finally got it. I used Vintage Artistry kit from SS Digital Scrapbook #4, Jen Wilson paper for the background. Fonts are Scriptina and SharonsHand. Poem reads "A family is like a patchwork quilt with kindness gently sewn. Each piece is an original with beauty of its own. With threads of warmth and happiness, it is tightly stitched together to last in love throughout the years. Our family is forever."

Robyn says: "This was a fun one! I've wanted to do these pictures for a long time, but couldn't come up with a way to use so many on page. This was perfect for it! Stitches are by Gina Miller. Flowers (recolored) are by Jen Wilson & Taran Conyers. Acrylic letters are from Michelle Coleman. The font is Garamond."






Colleen says: "What a great original - I decided to skip the folders. I might use this as Ben's first birthday invite. I put a black line around the edge, but for some reason it's not showing up. Oh well. Credits: Patterned paper by Sarah Batdorf (Candy); happy button by Katie Pertiet (Happy Together); "he", authentic sticker and duct tape by Jen Wilson (A Real Boy and Boyish Charm); stitching (recolored) by Shabby Princess (Splendid).
