Challenge Summary - Oct26
October is always a weird month for me with scrapping... It starts with DSD and then carries on with the monthly challenges. I do avoid a lot of the challenges in October as they tend to be halloween based and I don't do those. But thankfully this month there weren't too many and so I have still managed to get quite a few challenges done anyway.

Gingerscraps - DSD26 summary
Gingerscraps always has a week long event for DSD and this year is no different.
Besides doing some shopping to qualify for the latest mega bundle, I also played a few of the games and then even got a layout scrapped.
Give Me Some Space Challenge
Buzzbee Scraps - Childhood Tales
Karen from Buzzbee Scraps is the Designer Spotlight this month at Gingerscraps. She has a lovely kit as part of the daily download called Childhood Tales. As I'm on her CT I got the kit early to play with and went off-theme for my layout. I will more than likely make another layout with this kit next month.
