Beautiful layout and place! It looks so restful. I wonder if they take overnight guests.

Maybe, but would it be all cold showers and lumpy beds in the dormitory?

maybe, or worse, a slab of wood to sleep on and a bowl of cold gruel.

I started this LO when we were at (re)Create and only recently finished it. It was one of those pages that seemed like a good idea at the time but made me crazy because it needed "something." I added the centers to the flowers and that was it.

I don't really have a favorite color, but guess if I do it's black. Technically that's a combo of all colors, so this works on several levels.

oh that came out fantastic--I remember you working on it with all the brads.
Beautiful

Beautiful, Pam! I've always wanted to do one of those with all the brads.

[katymjo]

What a beautiful layout Pam. I love all the spots, on the umbrella, round the oval and in the centres of the flowers.

Ok, now that all that excitement is over for another year, let's get back to the important stuff. You have another week to get your December challenge in. I even extended the deadline through next weekend to give you the whole weekend. Let's see some more entries!!

[mpizzazz]

Remember everyone, I am extending the deadline for December until Sunday night at midnight, January 3rd so you have the holiday weekend to do some scrapping for the Dec. challenge.

I will post the January Challenge tomorrow on the first as usual. For 2010, I am hoping that we will do some more challenging Challenges!

[ChristyB]

Thanks so much for doing this MArianne
Your challenges have resulted in some of my favorite layouts
You rock!

Awww, thanks,

I'm in! I did my own background using the soon to be released roller from Stampin' Up! called Very Vintage, using my current favorite color green, plus stamping, using brads and black & white. The journaling block uses a soon to be released corner punch from Stampin' Up! called Pinking Hearts. The photos are of me taken in October at our ReCreate Gathering.

Wow, Cheryl, you really DID this challenge! I think I count about 7 of the challenges on there!

That background roller is gorgeous. I love it. Enabler! Using my rollagraph more is always on my list of tools that need using. Humm, I will add that to a future challenge. Thanks for the idea.

[troublesmom]

I haven't used my rollers in a long time but since I just got this one thought I'd use it. I can see this one as a great background (in other colors) for thinking of you and birthday cards. They would be quick and easy.

[katymjo]

What a beautiful effect you got with the roller, Cheryl. I think it would make some really elegant cards too.
