As it turns out, it is easier to load my challenges directly from the Forum, so here goes ...
OCTOBER CHALLENGES:
Rockin' Around the Clock - this is a progressive scrap, over a series of days we get all the instructions (I just wait til I have them all to start)
1. Choose 6 papers... at least 3 patterned papers, and at least one solid paper. Stack one patterned paper and one solid paper. Make the solid paper smaller, so that the patterned paper makes a border around the page. The remaining papers will be used in a later step.
2. Make 2 circles and 3 paper strips with the various other papers. and arrange them in the center of your page in the top half of the page.
3. Choose three pictures and arrange them in a row on top of the paper strips and circles, leaving some of the paper showing under the photos.
4. Add journaling to to the bottom half of the page, filling up at least half of the area below the photos.
5. Add Title using an Alpha, close to the photos.
6. Add Embellishments and shadows, and upload to RAC Gallery… Be sure and post back here for your points!

Off the Line , Quote Challenge: Once in a young lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness as one can possibly want and hold. Most artists did Halloween, but I immediately thought of these pictures of Blake's first birthday, and his FIRST TASTE of cake. He had his mouth and hands full.
