well they are not exactly flooding in......

but here is my take on this challenge.




It is QUITE different for me - but that is what i wanted out of this challenge - for us to all stretch out of our comfort zones a little :)




The original is by debee Campos

and OMG i just love it! There is so much happening, a lot of grunge and hey even a butterfly! however she manages to still keep that nice white space/negative space in amounst it all!


Here is my take on it -




and the heartfelt journalling isn't so groundbreaking but it says-


There was a time I thought our family was complete.

Then Piper came into our lives and I knew that I had been wrong.

So very wrong.

Are we complete now?

Could I be wrong again?

I don’t know.



Hope to see a few more entries in this week. It isn't too hard - just stretch beyond your norm and dont set yourself limits!

Georgous layout Amanda I have emailed mine,I was thinking the same thing and we have now got Bella our little suprise but if anyone tells you that 4 is not much different to 3 they are wrong well at the ages of mine it is but probably not so bad when your twins are so grown up.We hope things get a little easier as they get a bit older maybe I won't then have to dress at least 3 people plus myself before we get anywhere at least.

Awesome page Amanda! TFS, I have been wondering what everyone else was doing with this challenge.. I've started, but not happy with it so far - will keep working on it. And we obviously all wondered..............it is really hard when you say no more! We've agreed no more too, but yep, like Msryanne said, there are those times when you think about it. I feel guilty about thinking about having more.......does anyone else or am I just strange??

wow!!! you certainly are a scrapping master, this layout is fantastic.

amanda hall said...

just wanting to make sure i am clear here in that it is Debee's layout shown first on this post.

My paltry effort is second.

Didn't want people thinking that i was taking credit when the totally mind blowing one is the original here!

sandra said...

not exactly paltry Amanda!!!
I think we all know exactly which one is yours!!!
Lovin' that website as well Amanda, getting so much inspiration as well.
My mojo had gone awol for awhile.. but I think I might get some scrappin done tonight!

I have to agree with Maryanne's post on another post (what the??) that your LO is fantastic because your photos "pop" a lot more than the original page!! Love your page so much!!
