Challenge 11

Hard to believe that we are almost at the end of the race. It seems to have gone so fast. I'm not sure about that 13th blinkie that the race website refers to - maybe we get a 13th layout to do - will be interesting to see.

Here's my take on challenge 11. Challenge 12 is a two person challenge so looking forward to that.

Challenge 9

Finally finished challenge 9 - I'm not sure why I had so much difficulty with this - this is probably my 3rd attempt at the layout. This photo was taken at Christmas 2008 of my niece and her great aunt - they absolutely adore each other and I think this photo reflects that.

Challenge 10

First let me just say what a wonderful layout no. 9 Chris has done - just blew me away - love everything about it and I really hope that someone recognises her brother and nephew and gets them back in touch.



In Challenge 10 I got the chance to interview Chris - and I apologise for some of my silly questions. The layouts had me laughing out loud and with what she told me I had the easiest time doing the layout. Was interesting restricting myself to just two colours. I decided to do the layout as a double pager and do it as a magazine interview. Of course I have left you hanging on some of the answers to some of the questions I asked Chris and I am sorry to say there will not be a follow up layout so you will just have to wonder what the answers were.

Challenge 9 - Lost Generations

This was a really interesting challenge for me, and I'm so glad I took some time to ponder it, otherwise I might never have scrapped this page.

The photos are of my brother Pat and his son Sam, and we haven't seen or heard from them since Sam was two years old. Despite frequent attempts to trace them, I've no idea where they are. So creating this page gave me a chance to express that sense of loss a little, and I guess, some part of me is hoping that if I put this out there - someone might recognise them and get in touch???
