a couple of challenge layouts

here are a couple challenge LOs i did yesterday.... this one is done for casino royale challenge #6, had to go either rags(distressed and torn) or riches(blingy), with journalling................... and also its my take on this months sketch at addicted to sketch(in my blog list)....... journalling reads, what is it with boys and broken bones, when matthew broke his arm he couldnt be more prouder if he tried..... he was so happy to be the first of 6 boys to break a bone... struck down?? i dont think so, struck it up more like it!!... thanks for looking
i have used, basic grey pp, jenni bowlin diecut pp, dcwv pp, thickers alpha, carolee creations alpha, masking tape,

this one was done for the november scrap yourself challenge at challenge heaven(on my side bar). you had to scrap a pic of you with someone other than your own kids, and have lace and handwritten journalling................... i used reba macentire's song for this, my fave song in the world. thanks for looking
