A couple of challenges...........

I can't believe it..............I'm actually getting some
challenges done this month!
I always have this long list of all the challenges I want
to do but I am lucky if I get one done!
Not this time!!

I'm playing along at Get Picky this month where
the challenge is to tell a story and of course, to scrap
more than one photo. I scrapped this layout of Sophie and told the story
of the drama we had when we trying to work it all out
at the beginning. She had a tough time with her feeding, my
breast milk wasn't nourishing her and she rejected
formula at first.....it was a long battle but we finally got there.
It breaks my heart to see her so skinny and scrawny
but look at her now!



and a close up of the embellies...........................


I'm also playing along at Bird is the word where the word is Time.
I've included it as the title and also as part
of the journaling.
I've gone for a 6x12 inch layout this time for something different.



and a close up.................
I've used an Alice glass cabochon, I can feel an
Alice kit coming on................


I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
The sun is shining here today so Michael has taken the kids
out to enjoy the beautiful day.
Gives me time to get my Christmas list sorted....I can't believe
there is only two weeks until Christmas!
I'm so not ready.................

Thanks for dropping by!
Monica

And the 6x12 looks great. You have fit so much detail onto such a small space. Great work.
