July - JUST FOR FUN CHALLENGE - WINNER ANNOUNCED

[Funky Fairy]

Are you ready for the next 'Just for Fun' challenge??
I've been really enjoying making these Lo's each month and love how well the kits mix together.

The aim of the challenge if you haven't played along before is to use your new kit along with the leftovers from your last kit. If you want to use up bits from older kits too, you can

You have until August 13th - 11pm EST to play along.
All you need to do is post your LO here.
A winner will be picked and showed on our blog.

This is my LO this month,



I am adding an extra little twist this month.
You need to add some good and honest hand written journaling to your LO's.

I've journaled about how cheeky Louis is being lately. He has an answer for everything.

I can't wait to see your pages

I really love your layout Lisa! The red background makes everything pop!

I am working on this... I hope to post it here tomorrow.

[Funky Fairy]

Thanks Anna.
Look forward to seeing your's.

I picked out that red paper as the tables in the restaurant and all on the walls were old distressed wooden doors. It was so cool.

I just adore this one. Having two boys I totally get it, and Louis.
wonderful, wonderful.
let's see what I can do.

[Funky Fairy]

Wonderful is one word to describe him right now Denise but an awful lot of other words would describe him alot better

[DeniseM]

Oh my gosh, that cracks me up.
Jameson is the same damn way, I can't even tell you how much I have loved/hated that boy in the past two weeks. AAARGHHH.

I can so relate to this layout -- my son is in the exact same stage! Wonderful layout and I can't wait to play along.

Oh my gosh, that cracks me up.
Jameson is the same damn way, I can't even tell you how much I have loved/hated that boy in the past two weeks. AAARGHHH.

He he he That is funny Denise! Ahhhhh.......the joys of boys So you all are telling me this is what is coming then?

[crystalyocum]

HAHA, boys are fabulous and amazing...and a handful at times, that's for sure. Mine will be 14 in December and he is wonderful a lot of the time, but downright evil other times. LOL I can totally relate to what you girls are saying here!

Love the layout of Louis, Lisa!! You did a great job. This month I am going to do this one for sure. I said that last month, but I just got too late of a start and didn't ever get back to it. Must make it a priority to use up kits. Right Emily???

[AnnaB]

Here's my layout...!!! I wrote about my feelings regarding going back to work at the end of August. I try to remember that it's good in so many ways... but I do struggle with my feelings.

Love your layouts Lisa and Anna! Great challenge!

[crystalyocum]

Love it Anna!!

[DeniseM]

Here's mine. I journaled about Libby, Conner's girlfriend. She is wonderful!

[alizadeutsch]

These are all so beautiful.
We just returned from a road trip and I can't wait to dig my hands into my scrap supplies. And my July kit was here upon my return!

As for cheeky boys: They are funny, and I love that both my kids "get" humor now. But, they also get it wrong a lot of the time and take it too far. I often tell them--part of being funny is that your audience has to find it funny, and if the people you are talking too are getting upset, you've moved past funny/teasing and into being mean.

Denise-I'm terrified of when my son will have a girlfriend. Is that weird?

[Sherry C]

LOVE your layouts, Anna & Denise! I believe I will be lifting yours soon, Denise!
