October Challenge - TEAM B Reveal

Hi everyone! I hope you have been enjoying our current challenge. Today the second half of our team shows  us how they interpreted the challenge. 



Theme: The following quote..

great life quote.

We would like you to create a layout based on this quote. You can interpret it ANY way you like. There is no wrong or right way to interpret this quote  but your layout must incorporate something from this quote AND the sketch below. Please make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and please tell us where your journalling is . Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.





I am also very excited to announce this month's Guest Designer. This lady was a very big inspiration for me when I first started scrapping and her style has continued to be timeless. It is with great pleasure I welcome the gorgeous...

Welcome to the winner of our August Challenge 



My name is Miranda, and I live in sunny Florida with my wonderful man and our 2 pets! I started scrapbooking about 2 years ago. It started with wanting to make an album to show my honey how much he meant to me, and it blossomed from there! I have spent a lot of time searching for my style, and what I like the best. That tends to be more on the grunge side of things, but I never like to stay put in one area of art. I am always pushing myself outside of my boundaries! I strive to think outside of the box , and use techniques that allow me to express myself! My fave products are flowers , metal, laces, gesso, sprays , masks, and texture pastes! I appreciate all different types of art , and cannot imagine life without it! If I am not crafting, I am usually spending time outdoors at the beach or any place with a beautiful view! I also am a huge bookworm!

We are very fortunate to have a gorgeous Danish manufacturer with us this month. Please welcome..



Riddersholm Design is owned by Connie Riddersholm and was founded in 2010 in Denmark . Connie has a background as a graphic designer and has earlier been into Web design and worked as partly self employed since 2004. It all started with Connie designing digital scrapbooking kits for her selves and later moved onto a few digital prints in 12X12 to see how they looked for real. Connie then had a group of hardcore scrapbookers to look at her designs and asked for their “honest” opinion.
They liked it and believed in it. So she decided to give it a go and invested her spare money into Riddersholm Design!  Today Riddersholm Designs sells paper lines in 10 countries and launch their new collections every spring and fall/Christmas 

Go HERE to see where you can get Riddersholm Design paper from and visit the blog for lots of inspiration from the Design Team HERE. 




Our other equally beautiful sponsor this month is the gorgeous Etsy shop owned by Natasha Naranjo- Aquirre called..


Moments of Tranquility online store grew from the requests of the followers of Natasha Naranjo-Aquirre's Blog.  Natasha shows such passion and love for her favorite products in her work that her blog followers often asked if she sold it, or could sell it... and so the online shop was born.   Natasha stocks all of her very favorite items, specializing in Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx and Spellbinders Dies, Want 2 Scrap Bling, Dusty Attic Chipboard & Blooms and beautiful Pion Design Papers.  By specializing in a few select items she can always offer the best service to her customers.
