Bingo with the Babes - April 17th
 

I've loved seeing all the creative and awesome layouts you all did last week! Some of you have even finished your blackout! Kudos!
Let's see what you've got this week :)

#2: Pick a side and scrap it. All on the left for me!

#4: Your favourite font. I don't have a single favourite but The Sweetest Thing font is one I love - I often use it to make titles.

#9 reflect, refresh, renew: This is what my life is about all the time.

#19: Signs of Spring. Spring is my favourite season - I love to scrap it so I can use lots of flowers on my page!

I made this for the 'clustering skillz' challenge. I love clustering, anyways, but I made sure that EVERYTHING except for the paint swash at the very bottom touches everything else on the page so it's one HUGE cluster.

#4 Your Favorite Font
I basically LOVE any font by Kimberly Geswein!! I used KG Sweet n Sassy on this layout. It is cute and clean!

I'm on a roll this month!

#5: How does you garden grow? As my journalling says, with lots of weeds! My kids loved it though so why not scrap it!

#6: Local attractions. At this time of year, the Lindt factory outlet store is definitely an attraction!

#9 Reflect, Refresh, Renew
When I saw the Press Pause kit by Kristin Cronin-Barrow I knew it would be perfect for this challenge. The colors are refreshing and just thinking about cruising in Alaska lets me reflect on what things in my life are super important to me - my family and seeing the world.

Bingo square # 2 - pick a side and scrap it.

I felt like this square could be taken as a theme (pick a side of an issue and scrap it) or literally (pick a side of the scrapbook page and scrap it). I chose the second way and it made me use one of my favorite templates from Crystal but move everything over to one side. I would never have thought to adapt the template that way, so this challenge was fun to me :)

#16 - Photography Challenge - black and white
I love doing pages with a black and white photo. I always think that the colors from the kit just look so beautiful with the b/w photo. Plus - a lot of the time there's a kit I'll be dying to use, but no pictures that would work well with it, until - magic! Black and white photo for the win!!

I used my favorite font to write the answers to their interview questions. I actually asked 25 questions, but only had room to scrap 15... I will be keeping the answers to all of them!
