Swan River Races

This week there are two challenges going on over at Club CK that I wanted to do.  I decided to combine both the weekly challenge and the issue challenge into one layout.  Gloria's weekly challenge is to do a scraplift of an expert's page so I chose this page from Rebecca Cooper.

I love the design of her page and the soft colours she used.  So pretty!  You can check her blog out here.  She's also a contributor to Write.Click.Scrapbook, which is where I discovered her during her last feature week there.  I was going to do just a one-pager but I just had to use more photos so I stretched it into a 2-pager.

Erika's issue challenge this week was to use a banner on your page.  I love the look of them but just don't use them often.  I decided that a banner would look really cute with this layout so I added one also.  So here it is:

I used Echo Park's "Life is Good" digi kit - I am sooooooo happy that EP has gone digi (over at Jessica Sprague's site).  I have almost all of their digi stuff; it's just so cute!  I also used the string and staples from Pattie Knox's "Do It Yourself Party Pennants", the sanded overlay is from Katie Pertiet, the scallop border template is from Julie Billingsley and the title font is Annoying Kettle.
