This week I was drawn to a great page by Heather (aka Schnerbear) which is a brilliant design if you need space for a lot of journaling:
The attention remains completely on that adorable photo, and the placement of the stars and number make a nice, simple visual triangle. What I love about htis page is how it has so much text yet it doesn’t overpower everything else, with the use of the bold, torn edge making a nice counterbalance to the writing.
I can see a lot of interesting pages being inspired by this wonderful layout, and Connie, Joanne and I were keen to lift it!

The 3 Kits Challenge with a new twist! 3 x 3 = 9! That’s right there are 9 kits featured this week, but, you can only use 3 of them to meet the challenge.
What if you only had 3 kits to work with to create a scrapbook page? It can be done and Melissa and Amy and I proved it with our example layouts.
Mollie and I want to put a fresh spin on our old 3 Kits Challenge this week, so, that’s exactly what I asked Melissa (aka Melissa Hill) and Amy (aka mymalloryboys) from the DD Creative Team to do. I asked them to each pick which 3 kits from the Designer Digitals store they wanted to use. The challenge was to use only those 3 kits! I also joined in on my own challenge, so, there are actually 9 kits featured this week. If you’d like to join in, you can pick 3 kits to use for your layout from any of the 9 kits featured. Then, share your layout in the 3 Kits 3 Ways Gallery to prove you met the challenge!
Both Melissa and Amy always create pages with many expertly placed lovely details. They proved to me with their outstanding layouts for this challenge that they are also very resourceful and inventive even when limited to using 3 kits. If you are just getting started scrapping digitally, keep in mind kits like these for versatility.
Melissa chose these 3 kits to create her pretty, well designed page:
Artistry d’amour Kit by Katie Pertiet
Just Linens Paper Pack No. 25 by MapleBrook Studios
Worn Photo Edges No. 06 by Lynn Grieveson
Amy beautifully met the challenge with these 3 kit choices:
Simply Botanicals Mini Kit No. 01 by Katie Pertiet
Chocolate Candy Alphabet by Pattie Knox
Strung a Long Tags No. 02 by Lynn Grieveson
And, I created my layout with these 3 kits:
You and Me Kit by Katie Pertiet
Announced Photo Overlays No. 03 by Lynn Grieveson
Remember Sentiment Stacks by Ali Edwards
Here’s the link for the 3 Kits 3 Ways Gallery. Please join in on the challenge! Remember, you can choose 3 kits from any of the 9 kits featured on the blog today. See if you can limit yourself to the 3 kits only, just like we did!
