Are You Up for a Challenge...?

Then check out the fun going on at Love.Joy.Paper!!  Amanda (aka okanogangirl) from Club CK is starting a monthly challenge on her Blog!!  There will be a giveaway and there will be highlights of your work from the challenge!  The great thing about the set-up for these monthly challenges, is that they can be combined with many of the other challenges that are out there...for example with a sketch challenge.

Amanda invited me to be a guest for this month and offer some inspiration on the first challenge, which is to:

 
I had a lot of fun with this layout and Amanda's challenge was a great jump-start for finding time to do more pages about me now and about my childhood...so this was a perfect way to combine the two.  I chose a picture from probably somewhere around a year old, and one that I recently took after a much-needed haircut!!  :)

And just in case you are wondering...no, my ears don't stick out like that anymore!!  :)  I hope you will head over to Amanda's Blog and check out more about this great challenge and post your layout/project to Mr. Linky for your chance to win!
