Hey Scrappers

I did the SWL MIS this month and got my layout in on time. I used the layout from the SweetShoppe Scrap-A-Thon for Day 1 

Digital Scrapbook - Summer Layout Madness

 It was the Summer Layout Madness again this month at Digital Scrapbook. 

I was over ambitious and set myself a target of 31 layouts as I figured with all the other challenges going on this month I am sure to get at least that many layouts done. Well here is how it all went:

1. Declare a colour - ninigoesdigi Golden Lake Summer

2. Selfie - see SSD Scrap-A-thon August Day 1

3. Corner It - ASD Late Summer Serenity

4. Bingo - MissFish Summer Dots

5. August Good Life - DS Single Layout 123

6. Scraplift - ASD Biggie Masks Vol 8

7. Photomask - see pbp Scrap bingo: mystery box

9. Roll the Dice - BS Coastal Collection

10. Name - see TLP Week 7 Follow the leader

11. Ad Inspiration - see TLP Week 7 Mapping it Out

12. Surprise - DS Fieldnotes #21

13.  Project Life - see SSD Scrap-A-thon August Day 19

14. Project Life - see pbp Revelry 

15. Project Life - see pbp Story 

16. Template - see GS Word Art

17. Sewing - see GS Recipe

18. Selfie - see SSD Scrap-A-thon August Day 25

19. Selfie - see SSD Scrap-A-thon August Day 11

20. Corner It - see SSD Scrap-A-thon August Day 16

21. Sewing - see GS Template 1

Plus 37 for the No Prompt category. 

This gives me a total of 58 layouts done this month, which beat my goal and then some! Guess having so many Scrap-A-Thons paid off! It was just a mission to keep it all organised.

Sweet Shoppe - Summer Scrap-A-Thon - Aug25

It's the continuation of the annual Summer Scrap-A-Thon at The Sweet Shoppe. This month the theme is Shadow Box

Everyday there was a new shadow box revealed and there were two options to choose from to do the challenge.... so 31 in total for this month, or the smaller option of doing 10 or 20 layouts. Here's what I've managed to do in August:

The Lilypad - Summer Camp - Aug25

I had lots of fun last month with The Lilypad Summer Camp and it has carried on this month too with four more full weeks of challenges.

Here's my August layouts:

Week 5 - Start a fire

Week 6 - At one with nature

Week 6 - Nature photography - see layout using Rachel Etrog La Dolce Vita Summer

Week 7 - Follow the Leader

Week 7 - Mapping it Out

Week 8 - Take Aim

Week 8 - Bull's Eye

Week 9 - Three Legged Race

Week 9 - Fireworks

Edited 13 Sept: Prizes have been given out and though I didn't win any of the lucky draws for the individual challenges, I did win one of the second place prizes, a $25 gift certificate... so more shopping for me! For finishing all 18 challenges there was also a summer camp tshirt given to each person, or a $15 gift certificate option. I went with the gift certificate. So with all this extra money to spend I think I can get my most of my wishlist items from the store.
