It’s still Friday! I swear, time goes by sooooo quickly.

OK, so here was my layout from last week:

And this week I asked Merrilee Larson to give me her take on this layout, and it’s fantastic:

Soooooo… did I get your attention? *wink* Yes, today is Wednesday and today should be Wendy’s “3 Kits 3 Ways” and not another “typo” challenge! *grin* But, Wendy needed the week off (for some very good reasons, too, by the way!) so I said I’d jump in again! But, with a little twist this week!
Your challenge? Well, I kind of combined “3K3W” and “Just My Type”... so, here’s the deal. This week, I’d like you to use the following on a layout this week:
• (1) patterned paper
• (2) brushes
• (3) fonts (that’s where the typography comes in! LOL)
• (4) elements

 
Can you see the challenge in my layout?
• One sheet of patterned paper
• A “watery” brush and a “swirly” brush = two brushes
• Journaling font, title font (stickers) and the font on Anna’s photo frame = three fonts
• The soccer ball, the staples, the piece of tape and the “joy” card = four embellies
So, are you ready to join in this week? I sure hope so… this was FUN to do! So, join in this week… just remember to post your layout in the gallery! Since Wendy couldn’t be “here”, let’s post all our layouts in the “Three Kits, Three Ways” gallery! Enjoy and have fun!

This week’s layout comes from Aly D - who is a master of striking looking graphic layouts.

Isn’t that combo of rich color against the white background so striking? (And you can’t go wrong with Katie’s famous Cabana White paper!) Great brushwork too - and I love that strong titlework! Combining brushwork like this with a strong, graphic design is a great way to add that extra something to a page. All in all, a very cool page!

And it’s a scraplift challenge with a twist this week! Have you tried playing with a layered template yet? With the storewide sale on until early Tuesday morning it’s a great chance to pick one up and give it a go (although be warned, you may find yourself addicted!). I love the way a template provides you with wonderful strong bones of a layout leaving you free to play around with all the fun stuff like color, paper and photo choices!

If you love the look Aly achieved (and especially if you want to make it 12 x12), then you can’t go wrong with this template by Kellie who has lots of fantastic ones in store:

Hope you can join in! It’s always fun seeing how different layouts using the same template look!

Lots of great double page spreads in the Saturday Scraplift gallery this week - plus one clever single page interpretation of Vinnie’s great layout!

Hey everybody…after a very brief and unexpected hiatus last week, we are back with Round Robin #1 for November. If you’re like me, you have about a zillion Halloween shots, and there are only so many Halloween layouts you can do. I decided to use several photos for one layout and journal about how we managed to have fun AND not spend money on costumes. (Yay us!)

Now it’s your turn. Did anything about this layout inspire you? Post your version in the Round Robin gallery on DD - and have a great weekend!
