PixelScrapper - Summer Layout Madness

Along with all my CT layouts on my plate for this month, I also took the plunge and signed up to do the Summer Layout Madness (slm 2021) at Pixelscrapper. I set myself a goal of 31 layouts... which works out to a layout a day. 

I did these with various CT layouts and some of the challenge layouts that I do each month. I managed to work some of my layouts into specific PixelScrapper challenges too. Here's the results:

1 - Vertical - CD Anchors Away

2  - Recipe - CD Stargazer 

3 - Template - Heritage Day using CAP The SimpleLife

4 & 5 - In The Pocket - I'm so Happy and Best of Friends layouts using CAP #2019Aug kit

6 - Screenshot -  So Proud using CAP Travelogue North Dakota

7 & 8 - Journal - Delightful layout using CAP PC Cabaret and Wish layout from TDP Aug21 challenges

9. - Scraplift - CD Just Bee

10. Roses -  RE Our Story Begins Here

11. Paper Only -  GDD Summer Treats

12. Colour It Forward - Sunset layout using CAP Sunset

13. Art - Moon and Back layout using CAP Moonlit

These last few were all created for DDD Mojo Mod as well:

14. Black & White -  B&W layout 

15. Product - Reflection layout

16. Story - Dream Big layout

17. Recipe - Splish Splash layout

18. Page Starter - Nature Walk layout

19. In The Pocket - Summer's End layout

No Prompt - all the other 34 layouts made this month

So there we have it, I made my goal and then some! A total of 53 layouts created in August. That's a LOT of scrapping!!!

Dandelion Dust Design - Aug21 Mojo Mods

I got excited to see the new Mojo Mod challenges when they were posted at the beginning of the month. Then I got so busy scrapping CT layouts that they got pushed a bit to the back burner. Now it's a mad scramble to get them all done... but done they are:

Black & White

Reflecting Back

Dream Big

Nature Walk

Splish Splash

Summer's End

I am super chuffed with these... I've done some very different layouts and also managed to combine lots of kits for each one. Really happy to get them all done before the deadline too.
