3-in-1 May Sketchy Challenge by Kerry Engel This monthβs Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketchy Challenge Β is bubbling with fun. There are so many ways to interpret this design.

Way up on the Mountain – Featuring BoBunny – Take a Hike By Kerry Engel Creative blocks? Do you every get them? Sometimes I move the photos around for days. They sit on the counter and everyday I come in and move them around until something jumps out for me. With this set of pictures my first impulse was my go-to βgrid layoutβ.
