For this stop, Oscraps came with a great idea: scraplift your idol.
But not that simple, you had to stick to these 2 requirements:
1- include a star somewhere
2- include the word DREAM somewhere on your layout.
I chose to lift this layout by Bubaczik because I like the way it is focusing on the photo.
This is one of my nephew here, doing faces!

Amanda from Sunshine Studio came up with this funny challenge and a minikit to use:
"Make a layout using everything in the freebie. You may recolor, resize, etc. as long as you use it all in some way."
This seemed like a real challenge for me since the stuff in the minikit is not like the one I am usually playing with, but as we were allowed to recolor and add elements from other kits, I finally managed this layout, which I am quite pleased with!!
The photo is featuring my grandmother with some of her friends.
Inspiration Lane challenge was a ROAD BLOCK which means only 1 person can particpate.
Mel is our official poster for this one :)
"You must choose a layout from your partners gallery and scraplift it using the following direction: Take your chosen layout from your partners gallery and flip it either horizontally or vertically. Now take the layout and rotate it 45 degrees. You must use this "new" version as the sketch for your layout. When creating your layout you must use the EXACT same number of items that your partner used in the original layout, no more, no less."
Melissa picked My portrait of love layout (one of my favorites)

Here is our challenge :
"Your challenge for this stop is to create a layout that has no photos on it, but includes at least 3 different and separate photo frames.
Sometimes we have special thoughts, feelings and/or memories about a person or place or event or pet or whatever, but no photos. OR, we could be missing someone who has passed on or something that is no longer in our lives and would dearly love to be able to express that on a page.
Because scrapbooking is all about recording our life journey and that of our family we can still create a page to record and preserve those special thoughts, feelings and/or memories with a little thought and planning and with the creative use of photo frames and journaling (although journaling is not required for this challenge)."
And here is my layout for this one, really a challenge for me not to use any photo!

Just uploaded it this morning in the gallery at Ndisb.
I love how it turned out and for once, I was inspired for the journaling part ;)
Here it is:
... well, as my style has changed and I have more stash on my HD, without mentioning all I learned about Photoshop, I really had a blast redoing this old layout that was one of my first layouts ever and the first one I posted at 3Scrapateers.
Here is the original page made in November 2006... (totally flat and no shadow!!)
And here is my redo:
Must say I am happy the 2nd challenge for this week is already revealed: this will leave us plenty of time to meet with the requirements before Sunday, midnight :)
These 2 ones are really inspiring me so I am a bit excited and taking the time to choose all the stuff for these. Without mentioning that the requirements are clear enough to not raise a million of questions...
Here we have:
Challenge 3 at Gotta Pixel:
Find the first layout you created that is still uploaded to a gallery and scraplift it using techniques, trends and concepts that you have learned since you did that original layout.
Rules are to not change the number of photos and to keep the original journaling. Simple.
And the challenge 4 is hosted by Tangie Baxter:
It's an Art and Soul challenge:
-Your layout must have an artistic flair, i.e. including 3 artsy or altered things
- and it has to includes a journal from your soul. Can also be some lyrics or quotes representing what you would like to pass to the next generations or that you've learnt.
See you later, I must go through my stash and see what I will be using for these great challenges!
