Sketch N Scrap - 6th birthday crop

I took past in an online crop this month to celebrate Sketch N Scrap's 6th birthday. They posted challenges and sketches on facebook as well as their blog, and I've tried to do a whole host of them:

Challenge 1 - use 6 items from your stash older than 2 years

Everything on this layout is actually over SIX years old! I somehow misread the challenge hehehe.... but at least it stretched me to use up some of my stash.

Challenge 2 - use the word celebrate - I did this layout for The Cut Shoppe NSD Challenge #3 shared earlier.

Challenge 3 - use items to form the word HAPPY
H - handstitching, A - Arrow, P - Pattern paper, P - Pearls, Y - Yellow cardstock

Challenge 4 - use balloons and/or stars
This layout is using paper from the new LA Paper BirthYay range... love the bright colours.

Guest Designer

From their blog I also did the following sketch challenges:

Another layout using more from the LA Paper BirthYay range showing how versatile it is.

Birthday sketch 3

I have truly enjoyed my scrapping this month and having multiple challenges to do... and being able to enter some of these layouts in various other online crops too. It's been a great scrappy month.
