October challenges ...

So another month has flown by and now it's time for some new challenges ...

1. A hand cut title ...

Check out this link for one way of creating your title ... http://studiocalico.blogspot.com/2009/09/tutorial-handcut-titles.html

Here is my example ...


I would love to see lots of different techniques - if you use an idea you have found on the Internet send us the link along with your layout!

2. Your favourite drink or food documented on a layout ...

Over the last few days Amanda has been enjoying the sights of Clare and I am sure trying a few cold beverages along the way!! She may even have found a new favourite!!

Sue is heading away over the weekend so I'm sure she may be enjoying some nice drinks and nibbles!!

In our house we have a "birthday week" ... it starts when you want it to and includes the day of your birthday!! (To be honest it is usually John and I that have the birthday week!!) It's my turn right now!!

I have been choosing a few yummy meals to eat this week - Smoked salmon and asparagus with angel hair pasta, stirred mussel risotto, Madras beef curry and tonight I think one of my favourite steaks - Porterhouse with mashed potato and haloumi cheese and maybe some home grown broccoli!!

So record your favourite/s on a layout!! Recipes optional!!

3. Sue's sketch - to come


4. Amanda's choice - to come

Looking forward to seeing some layouts in the Inbox soon!!
