August Challenge - Team 2

Hi everyone! Welcome to our second reveal of August Challenge :-)
Thank You for all wonderful entries in our gallery! We love them all and we ask for more :-)

Have fun and play with us :-)
And now take a look at all those amazing inspirations from our Team 2!

Journalling Theme: "The men in our lives..."

You are free to interpret our theme ANY WAY you like. It is for your inspiration and this theme word DOES NOT need to be part of your title or journalling. But please make sure your layout is based on the sketch below and includes journalling (hidden journalling is fine). Acceptable journalling is MORE than just a sentence, or generic writing such as date/place etc. It needs to be present and at least 3 lines long. Remember, hidden journalling (under a photo/tag or behind your page) is perfectly fine but please DO let us know in your post where your journalling is!

Please welcome
GALINA SAZONOVA
[June Challenge winner ----for the 2nd month running!!!!]

Hi everyone!
My name is Galina Sazonova, I live in Moscow with my sweet family. I am a landscape designer, but about a year ago, I discovered scrapbooking and found it really exciting and interesting. ...
I like different styles and to try something new. Today I want to share with you my project for August "The Best Day Ever'. This layout is about the day my son was baptised & the bond between him & his Godfather - my journaling is hidden on the back of my page. Thank you for choosing me as a winner again - I could hardly believe my eyes!

Galina's blog can be found HERE.

Now here is what our Design Team came up with. Please click on their blogs for more details on their creations. I am sure they would love to hear from you !!!
