July - Challenge #3: Kitchen

Welcome to the beginning of another new month everyone! Continuing with our warm thoughts, we're going to be hanging out in the kitchen this month... kitchens truly are one of the hearts of the home, I think. So, without further ado, here is the gorgeous room for this month...

In addition to taking inspiration from the room, I'd like you to follow this recipe:

1 x photo or picture/drawing of a favourite food/meal/cafe/restaurant

2 x flowers

3 x kitchen related embellishments (e.g. spoons, cups, forks, crockery etc, which can be stamped or die cut or chipboard etc)

plus, I'd like to see some baking twine somewhere on your project.

I'd also like to introduce you to our Guest CT member this month... the lovely and very talented Leonie Neal-Dawson. Hi, my name is Leonie Neal-Dawson. I've been scrapping for almost nine years now, after a friend invited me to a Creative Memories Party. I loved it from the beginning, started buying products and haven't stopped! I love patterned papers and am often inspired by the colours and patterns in them. I have 4 children so there is always plenty of photo's to scrap with. I love all the different challenges available on the internet and find that a picture or a few different criteria are a great challenge and really get me motivated to get scrapping. That's why 'beyond the door' is great, you can choose anything in the room that catches your eye and just go with it to create your layout. Thanks Catie for inviting me to participate for July.

Here's Leonie's gorgeous layout for this month's challenge:

Sorry about the dodgy formatting - Blogger is being extremely unhelpful, and has taken me a good couple of hours to get this far!

Hope you have fun doing July's challenge and I hope to see LOTS of entries this month! Don't forget, we have fabulous prizes up for grabs from our generous sponsors!

Thanks,
