Here is this month's challenge....
April Challenge
The theme of this challenge is HOME.
We would like you to create a layout and interpret the theme "HOME" however you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as little or as much as you like, but your layout must incorporate this theme and this sketch.
And here is my example...
I chose to journal about how I love that our home is a large house in the country and that our village has a spirit of it's own, with traditions and many nice things. I have more journaling on the back.
I will share some close ups and maybe a step by step in a day or two.
And look at this gorgeous main prize:
Imaginarium Designs chipboard is donating this prize to one lucky winner of the blog hop.
This prize pack includes AUS$70.00 worth of chipboard PLUS inks PLUS Spray Mists PLUS free postage to anyone in the world.

ReplyDeleteUuunderbara foton från valborg! det är verkligen mysigt när man känner sina grannar och har den där speciella sammanhållningen som bara finns på en liten ort. Så fint med det svarta och persikorosa, pärlbandet och den gröna spetsen och den svart tyll/spetsblomman längst ned till höger. Tack söta du för mailet! ligger grymt efter med allting som inte har med skapande att göra, gjorde 8 sidor på 3 dagar och hjärnan är som potatismos just nu. Hälsa familjen puss puss

Great pics and love the instructions!!
DeleteCan't remember if I commented here or not & now there are HUNDREDS of comments LOL! Just wanted to say that I love that you have recorded such a fun mix of photos & love the idea of a friendly village. Here we don't even get to know our neighbours. Everyone is very unfriendly :( Wanted to tell you that I bought those leaves from Petaloo, which is difficult to find in the US as I think they are Australian (you commented on the velvety leaves on Facebook) so I placed an order with a WA store, Handmade by Suzanne, and it went VERY WELL - postage was a good price & it only took a week to get to me - RIGHT across the FULL width of the Indian ocean...not too shabby!!
