    Happy August! Thanks for joining us for another challenge using Lynn Grieveson's products. If you look at any of her kits, you will see some of the following in every kit: banner, paint/transfer, brown title/word art and postage stamps (just to name a few). For your layout lets see one or more of these items and don't hide them...lets show them off. Use several if you want. We would love to hear about your favorites and what you used.

    For my layout- I used several transfers/paint, banner and postage stamp. I always like to use the banners. The two kits I used were Porto and Winds of Change.

    Oh Gosh, what do I say?
    I am trying to move towards a cleaner style, but I don't seem to be successful because I love ALL of your elements.
    I have been waiting to use the Apple of My Eye kit and used a stamp, paint & flower, as well as all the stunning papers. Then I used the "Peaceful" wordart from Botanical Mix 2 because that is the way I felt when I looked up in the tree and saw the apples. I used a gradient on the wordart and had some purple in it so that took me to look for more purple/wine elements ad I found them in the strip of paper, banner and corner from Turning Around, along with some flowers and leaves from Madras, Sprout, Boho Branches...and I love your paints, especially this one from Apple of Your Eye. I may never succeed in my quest to adjust my style, but I LOVE this page.

    I have loved Lynn's banners since I first saw her work. I LOVE them, too and use them a LOT. I also used two of the postage stamps from the Botanical Mix Kit.

    I used paint transfers (just as they were and as a photomask - I really like to use them as a mask), some post stamps and titles.

    Using mostly the retired "Lyon" kit, which sort of captures the spirit of this coastal town. I love the postage stamps and the transfers, which I used in various places, and all of the friendly little sayings they let me scatter throughout the LO.

    I also just like the sayings Lynn chooses. I struggle with "best ever" kinds of sayings. I don't go in for hyperbole. "This was a magnificent moment" rings a better chord for me.

    My favorite elements in Lynn's kits are glass buttons and small postage stamps. I also love worn photo frames.

    I used paint splatters/overlays ( I love Lynn's paint elements so had to use them) and also postage stamps (I haven't really used these often so wanted to challenge myself)

    While Sharon is dealing with the after-effects from Hurricane Ida, I'm stepping in and closing this challenge. Give me a bit to collect the participants' names and announce a winner.

    And please watch this forum for another challenge sponsored by Lynn to be posted soon. :-)
