Pickleberry Pop - April challenges

Last month I took part in the Pickleberry Pop GDSO challenges and enjoyed them so much I thought I'd try the monthly challenges this month. I haven't managed them all (there are 9) but am happy with those that I have done.

Use it All

Template

Mystery Box

Playing with Perks

Plus these two shared earlier this month:

Colour - Miss Fish Slice of Life layout

Berry Big Deal - Miss Fish EveryDay Hexagon layout

I also did the designer challenge from Bellisae as I really love her kits. The challenge was to use more than 20 flowers!

I might very well try some of these again in the months to come.

and these two shared earlier:

Wonky Life - Back to Basics layout by ninigoesdigi

It's great to have these all done with a few days to spare in the month. I am trying to do a few last challenges before the month ends, and I also have lots of CT stuff already on the to do list for next month. Scrapping never stops!

ninigoesdigi - retiring sale

 It's Spring Cleaning time at The Digital Press and ninigoesdigi has a few lovely kits on sale this week... get them quick before they are gone.

As I have done layouts with most of them already I thought I'd play with just the one I haven't used yet, Back to Basics solids.... I made a "cardstock only" type layout

Check out this kit and all the others this week only at The Digital Press.

ninigoesdigi - I Can See Clearly Now

A couple of weeks ago Nini asked for some ideas on a kit about glasses. Well I gave her tons of words all about vision and even macular degeneration... especially as Mom keeps having to go for checkups and injections. Nini made a beautiful kit with lots of my word suggestions in it and it got released on Friday. It's called I Can See Clearly Now.

You can get this at The Digital Press

Edited: my layout got picked as a gallery standout 

Double Edit: my layout got picked as an April favourite at DigitalScrapbook.com
