{challenges for us CHA left-behinds...

Head on over HERE at Studio Calico if you're looking for a few challenges to keep you busy while waiting for all those CHA pics to start poppin up.

I started out by sorting through my SC past kit drawer and thought {YIKES!}, I really need to make a dent in this stuff.

So, along with the challenges happening over at SC, I am going to be using up my "old" stash as well as trying to stamp more on my layouts!

The first challenge I did was Laura's {use a quote as your journaling} challenge:
Found this quote on the web and thought it was neat.


And this one is for Sasha's {lift a fav layout from the Feb dt gallery}.
I chose THIS layout by the amazing mle.


I'm hopin to do a few more of the challenges over the weekend. We'll see.
Are you a "CHA left-behind" {LOL} and are you scrappin this weekend?

{Is 8 enough for you?

Over at the ella publishing blog they are challenging you to create 4 layouts using 8 products of your choice. This was just the inspiration I needed to get some scrapping done.
So, I figured this would be a great way to use up some of my goodies from my Studio Calico kits before the reveal of the Feb. kit tomorrow.

I chose:
1} October Afternoon - Campfire
2} Sassafras - Mix & Mend
3} October Afternoon - Homemaker
4} Studio Calico - Ascot
5} Sassafras - Krafty Cardstock Stickers
6} October Afternoon - Mini Market letters
7} KI - 3x3 pockets
8} Sassafras - Chipboard Garden bits
{cutter, adhesive, sewing, etc. are all freebies}



And I created these:





{okay, so I know I've scrapped this pic of ella a few times already, but I just love it.}



I'm thinkin this is one challenge I've got to repeat! So much fun!
