online crop & other treasures

My Scrap Shoppe is having an online crop this weekend. Lots of great challenges that you can check out here.
Here are the layouts that I made:

For my challenge "8 is enough"-- to use 8 items on your layout (not including photos):

For my challenge "Alter It" to alter chipboard on a layout:

For Marcy's challenge to include something blue, something off the page, initials and a heart on a layout:

For Marcy's challenge to include 5 patterned papers, a number, your handwriting, staples, chipboard and stitching on a layout:

For Marcy's challenge to scraplift someone from the Gallery. I lifted Eva's "Treasure" layout.

And for Liz's sketch challenge and Anita's "Odd Man Out" challenge to have one colour on the page that pops out (mine is the orange "he said" chipboard circle):

Our next door neighbour had an auction sale and Sage and I saw this little stool there and we both fell in love with it. Cameron bid on it for us and got it for $5.

I thought it would be perfect for sitting on for pictures, like this:

And yes, this is the new colour of my kitchen walls. I didn't go as dark as what I'd first planned, (Cameron already thinks it's too dark as it is!)
