August Challenge

Hi everyone! Welcome to our August Challenge. 

We hope you like this one :)
The theme is very inspirational and can be interpreted in so many ways :-)
So we hope you'll have fun.


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! 





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