Apr23 challenge summary

After the crazy busy last two months scrapping, I thought I'd take it a bit easier this month... yeah right! Well that didn't last long, because on the work side of life everything speed up double time with me landing a new private work contract... so now I am shuffling my life to fit in scrapping time. I thankfully did still manage to get quite a few challenges done.

The Studio - LAD Apr23

In amongst all my busy workload this month I still tried to do the LAD at The Studio... creating a layout a day with specific requirements. As much as I could I tried to use layouts that I had on hand to match, but others I had to make specifically. Here's what I achieved:

3. Two sides of the story.

4. Using DOTS

5.  Large focal photo - MissFish Blended Landscapes 1

10. Weighed down - using MissFish Happy Days kit and Former Freebies 3 from the retirement sale

11. Asymmetry - Gina Miller Willow

12. Bad Photo - Gina Miller Marvin

13. Journaling - I cheated a bit here and used a very old layout as I ran out of time to make a new on.

14. Equal Pattern & Solid papers (made also for TLP BYOC challenge)

15. Circle in the centre - MissFish Magical Kingdom

I really don't know if I will do this challenge next month... might miss it to relieve some of the pressure off me seeing as I am now so busy with work.
