Kraft plus October challenge

This October at Kraft Plus, it's all about friends. How nice is that, and leaves you free range for your design:

I had this photo, taken of our group of friends, friends my husband has known since his childhood. We often take vacations with these people, and we celebrate all the big events in our lives together. You couldn't ask for a better group of people, who also know how to have a good time. 

I have kept this layout reasonably simple, it didn't need to be too overdone. I added a Charms Creations super star to the layout, it seemed to work. The addition of the string is symbolic of tying us all together in our friendship. 

My Tribe

Scrap the Boys October

We are well and truly on our way to the end of the year, how it has flown. For the October challenge at Scrap the Boys, we have this moodboard to play with:

I normally struggle with adding pink to a male themed layout, flowers as well, they are not regular items on my boy layouts. So this month probably was a struggle for me. I used the colours as closely as I could for this layout, and kept it simple. 

Groom

Lol, wedding photos make it easy to add flowers, and as you can see I have both pink and flowers on this layout. Also featured is a Charms Creations heavenly heart, perfect for a wedding layout.

I hope we get to see how you are inspired by this moodboard.

Scrap the Girls October

Wow how the year is flying, October already. This month at Scrap the Girls, we are paying tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here is the moodboard:

I don't know of anyone personally that has had breast cancer, I guess that is a good thing. However, the story of Connie Johnson, the founder of Love Your Sister, was one to touch my heart, and the heart of many others here in Australia. She fought a brave fight, and was gracious and beautiful throughout. Her brother Samuel Johnson, fought the fight alongside of Connie through to the end. A story of enduring love and courage for both of them. 

Yes, my layout has Samuel Johnson - a male - on a female related page. However, this photo was not all about Samuel. It was about the money we raised through our work, to donate to the Love Your Sister Foundation, a charity raising money for breast cancer research. We asked Samuel to attend our work Christmas party, which he did, and we were able to personally give him the donation. In return, he told us about Connie, her fight, and the foundation. It was a privilege for all of us. So it was right to have this photo on this page. 

Love Your Sister

As you can see this is a very pink layout, no apologies for that, it's the theme. It is simple in nature, no apologies again for that, it didn't need to be fussy. The flowers add to the softness of it all, and to finish it all off, a gorgeous Charms Creations heavenly heart, which has really helped to depict love. 

I hope we get to see your layout this month.
