The Digital Press - Jan2022 challenges

The new year brought a whole host of new challenges to The Digital Press.  I've been so busy with CT and the MOC challenges that these ones got rather neglected. I've finally managed to get them done today(!) just before the deadline... yikes! At least they are done and I can rest easier knowing I did them.

Here's what I did:

Lay It Flat

Follow Me

Solid Start

Let it breathe

Then / Now

Template Challenge - Layout using Rachel's January Vibes kit



The Lilypad - MOC10 - week 4

And just like that The Lilypad Month of Challenges is done. Here is my final lot of layouts:

MOC10-26 Remembrance

MOC10-27 10 Things About Me

MOC10-28 Recreate part of a photo

MOC10-29 Black Photo background

MOC10-30 Cover Page

MOC10-31 Work of Art

My Work of art page got picked as a Gallery Standout.

I've had sooooooo much fun doing these all. This is definitely a crazy month of scrapping but so rewarding in the end... I've learnt a few things, done some layouts that I would never have attempted and generally had fun. The Added bonus of finishing is that I will earn $20 of free shopping!

I am almost up to date which is good seeing as the end is nearly in sight. Just a few more days till the end of the month.

The Lilypad - MOC10 - Week 3

Trying to get back on track with the daily challenges for The Lilypad Month of Challenges. Here are some of the actual third week's worth of layouts (plus a catchup) that I did manage to get done this past week:

MOC10-15 Filled Layout

MOC10-18 Black or White

MOC10-20 Bad Photo - layout created for Designed By Soco Simply Clean No 12

MOC10-21 Combine two templates

As I am still a bit behind I might do another catchup post before the end of the month, otherwise the next one will be the last lot on the 31st when I've finished them all. Will see how I get along.

It's been a rather busy month but I have still managed to get all 10 challenges done for Gingerscraps this month. They are all made though using MissFish or Dagi templates and have already been shared in previous posts. Just so that I have a summary, here's what I made:
