Just as some of my American friends are getting ready to go back to school, we are enjoying the start of our summer holidays here at the moment! Sadly, the British weather is not co-operating as we would like it to, but we’re determined to enjoy a leisurely summer, despite the rain! Many congratulations to July’s blog challenge winner, the random number generator picked JackieClayton’s beautiful Shenandoah layout as our winner this month! Please check your PMs over at The Lilypad for details of how to claim your prize Jackie.

And now, onto the new challenge! This month we’re scraplifting another on my Creative Team members: Christa! Christa is a very creative scrapbooker who uses blending effects and layer styles to create beautiful pages with her own unique signature style. I’m sure the layouts in her gallery will inspire you as much as they do me, I always look forward to seeing what special twist she will use next! Here’s the layout that inspired this month’s template:
