Here is a close up of the journaling... Challenge 4, by Jenn/nygirl...
Use the same photo more than once on your layout. I chose this photo of my nephew. I used Bazzill card stock, KI Memories pp, Making Memories Noteworthy, American Crafts Thickers, inked Grungeboard with rhinestones.

Challenge 5, by Chris/Chrispea...
Use at least 5 circles, and the photos must be circles...NO SQUARES! You would be surprise how many people missed that rule (insert rolling eyes here). I already had these firework pictures cut in a circle (don't ask me why), so I decided to use them. I used some Reminisce paper scraps I had and cut more circles. I tried to keep the circle theme with the American Crafts Thickers as the title, the oval sub-title on DCWV glitter cs and stamped with Target Dollar Spot stamps, then used Me and My Big Ideas rhinestone stars, all on top of Bazzill cs. I don't really like it, but that is why I don't normally use circles on my layouts, lol!
Challenge 6, by Debbie/Wyscrapper...
Create a school layout using primary colors and lined paper, again, some people didn't follow the rules, they didn't even do school themed! I used Scenic Route printed paper, some cheap-o card stock scraps, Prima flowers, misc felt flowers, misc brads for the centers, Walmart chipboard letters, misc buttons, Technique Tuesday stamps which I colored in with Marvy Artist Pens. Not a fan of this layout either, but then again, I don't usually use this color scheme.
Challenge 7, by Debbie/Wyscrapper...
Use 4 photos, easy right? HA! I got this 1 page kit free at my LSS, but couldn't use thier example with 4 photos, plus it wouldn't be my own if I did, so I came up with my own layout, using all the supplies-what you see is what I got! I used Bazzill cs, American Crafts paper, mostly Bazzill ribbon-the red ribbon is unknown, American Crafts buttons (I think), and Jenni Bowlin rubons for the title.
Challenge 9, by Heather...
Scrap a fear, dig deep with journaling, NO cardstock, and use something textural. I used my new Around The Block paper, Bazzill chipboard letters, some Prima flowers with misc buttons for centers, and a load of journaling-and I only made one mistake! Have I ever mentioned I HATE journaling? My handwriting is terrible, and I especially hate journaling right on the page because I always mess up! It turned out OK. The pictures, on the other hand, aren't that great. I hadn't found the different settings on my camera, and these were all taken in the shade, with the sun shining bright on the bushes in the background, I did the best I could with my simple photo editing software that came with my printer.

That is all for now! Tomorrow, after I do some job searching and the reluctant food stamp application, I am back to regular challenges. I will also be posting my DT layout for this week. Which reminds me, I gotta come up with a challenge for this month, and can't think of anything challenging. Do you have a technique or application that you are scared to try, that you would like to be challenged on? Any ideas are welcome!!

In case you are new to my blog, I put this link in here because I have a lot of subscribers who, like me, find it a bit of a hassle to leave Google Reader to leave comments, so I try to make things easier on them, FYI. :) Happy Blogging!!

WoW! You really got your "scrap" on! LOL! I really like the school one. Those colors just call my name...
Good luck with the job searching. I hope you find something soon. I totally know what you mean by reluctance when it comes to food stamps. At least most states have those card things now. We went through a REALLY tough 6 months during Dr. Hubby's med school years. We had to apply for food stamps. They would give me these booklets and I would have to tear them off at the register. It was SO embarrassing because I felt like everyone was looking at me and judging me. People who didn't know what it is like to go through tough times. Looking back I am very thankful for the stamps. They made things a little easier.
You'll be on your feet in no time.
Hope you have a great week!

Thank you bff, for featuring me on your scrappy blog again! The layout is beautiful! I hope things are going well. We need to get together and scrapbook. I ran out of refill pages, but am going to get some through ebay.
The doctors found that my dad's cancer spread to his liver:( but I'm still trusting in the Lord. Angie is coming up from Maryland next Monday for three weeks with Aaron! It will be a bittersweet visit! Love you! Mars
I've got a great idea for a challenge. Call it the Stamper's Trifecta and people have to use all three kinds of stamps on a layout...rubber, acrylic and foam!!! (This was one of the ideas I submitted when I applied for the Method Playground DT.)
