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.
