Challenges Galore! Deal of the Week!

SOTB has rolled out a challenge extravaganza and it is awesome. There are so many different challenges to participate in and for each one you do, you get a posting bonus. Better yet, the posting bonuses all coordinate, so the more you do, the more you have to work with. Kind of like a mega kit...just for playing!

Here's what I've done so far this month:

That is for the template challenge. I love these because Jill gives out a great template each time. Click on the image for credits (that is one of the really pretty Spectrum of Love charity kits at work there).

Then, for the technique challenge, I did my first Out of Bounds (OOB) layout. I would definitely want to tweak the frame and shadow to get it more realistic looking, but I had fun doing this. This picture was perfect for the challenge:

This morning when I got the SOTB newsletter, I saw that Sarah Kendall is having the special of the week...50% off of her store. So, I picked up a few kits of hers. I'd been admiring Luna Azure for awhile, so 50% off was irresistable and while I was at it, I also picked up My Lad Sunshine and Grey Blue Eyes:

Click on images for links to items in her store. I will definitely use some of these to do some of the other challenges in the forum this month. Scrap lift challenge...definitely going to do that. Scripture challenge...oh yes! After a few months of this challenge, we'll have made a fruit of the Spirit mini album! Anyway, thank you SOTB designers!
