You're Special

This was the Survivor Week #2 challenge. The challenge was Something Magical. From the forum rules:

"This Layout will be inspired by the magical ruby slippers of Oz! What item do you have in your life that is precious to you? Maybe quilt your grandmother made for you, or is it your wedding ring, your old cheerleader sweater or sweethearts Letterman jacket, maybe you have dog tags from your (or your loved ones) time serving your country, or maybe you have your very own special pair of ruby slippers! Whatever it may be, this is your opportunity to create a layout, all about your treasured item. "

The item that jumped out at me was a stuffed bear. The layout journaling tells you the rest...

"It's that tangible item I chose to cling to after you died. It was the last birthday gift I received from you and grandma. (Though uncle David actually chose it)
A simple, pink stuffed bear with a little pillow with the words: You Are Special. You were always one to see the worth of souls. This bear has traveled with me for 20 years and helped me feel like you've been here when I've needed you, especially anytime I hear the words, "You Are Special."
Though only one of nineteen grandkids, you always made me feel important and special, as if I were your only one."

A Love Like This

I got roped into a Survivor type scrapbook thing at GingerScraps. The first weeks challenge was to go from black and white to color (this years Survivor is based on The Wizard of Oz). Not sure how the idea came to me for this layout, but it's what I came up with.

A Spell On You

Some things are born out of necessity. Such is the case with this layout. Trixie and Connie Prince (they form North Meets South Studios) decided to bring back to life a kit that a lot of designers originally created pieces for, but they decided they could make a kit with just their pieces. So, Trixie needed layouts done with just those pieces. This was mine.

Love playing with newly released kits. This one is God Gave Me You by Trixie Scraps.


I fell in love with a word art and built my layout around that. I also made a tutorial on coloring just part of your photo. Read that here.

Draculaura

There was a post made in Trixie's CT forum about a Monster High themed kit, I jumped on the bandwagon and begged for this kit. Trixie wasn't sure how she was going to do this, because she wasn't familiar with the show, but thank my lucky stars she found another designer who was more familiar with it and they teamed up to bring us Ghoul School.


I totally grabbed this kit ASAP and got to work, I knew exactly which picture to use as well.
