Why not go on over and have a go at one of the challenges! I entered a couple of them. The first was the 'All or Nothing Challenge' hosted by Country Liv's Graphics:

Liv gave us a kit to use and we had to use all of the items to make a layout:

 

Here is the layout I made for the challenge using photos of my grandson Tyler taken at his first Christmas:

 

The other challenge I entered was the 'Decorate your Tree Template Challenge' hosted by Mamrotka Designs. We were given a couple of tree templates and had to choose one to decorate:

I made a layout for the challenge using a photo of Tyler taken three years ago:

The kits I used were GLORIOUS CHRISTMAS and A SNOWFLAKE KIND OF DAY by Country Liv's Graphics which you can find in her store here:

Summer Moments by Brenian Designs with Sweets and Summer Afternoon by Country Liv's Graphics

We had a wonderful week's holiday on the Isle of Wight with Susan, Ian and James. James went for a dip in the sea and absolutely loved it.

He really enjoys the water and splashes away.

I am sure that I have plenty of photos to make some great layouts. Watch this space.

Before I forget I should show you a layout I made using the SUMMER MOMENTS Templates from Brenian Designs. I also used the SWEETS Bundle and the SUMMER AFTERNOON PAGE KIT from Country Liv's Graphics.

The beautiful photos that I used in my layout were taken by my husband Richard.

Here is the preview of the template set which you can find in Brenian's store here:
