Challenge Blog post #2

I have wanted to do this before school started again. It is actually my "old-school style" as far as design goes. I started scrapbooking with creative memories and this layout definitely has that feel to me. I used some more modern elements, such as felt, stitching, fluid ink, and pop-up dots, but it still has my old style written all over it. I actually did a layout very similar to this one back in '98, but I used all cardstock and hexagons for each inch-worm segment. This layout covers the highlights of my summer (which is about to draw to an end) and as the final inch-worm segment says, "Enjoying my summer every "inch" of the way!"

Trying to get a picture of my layout in this heat was possibly the biggest "challenge" of all. Every time I would go outside, the pictures would curl. UGH....after 4 times of the back 'n' forth from the heat to the computer, I decided to just take it on the kitchen floor. So, the lighting isn't superb, but it will have to do. SOOOO, now I have two spreads that were inspired by Laura's Tostito ad on the Consider Yourself Challenged blog. Both were layouts that would have been finished before I returned to work, but there is no telling how they would have looked!
