Backlogged!!

I went to Chicago for a week and have a ton of new photos, several of which I've scrapped. I've still got at least one DHD challenge for May yet to complete and I haven't done any challenges for Gotta Pixel yet. But I've been busy!

 I did some post-processing on a photo for this, which is my interpretation of an advertisement for an ice hotel in Sweden. (Peppermint Creative Ad Challenge, May)

 The DHD {inter}National Scrapbook Day speed scrap was on May7, and this is my result.

 I put this layout together for the DHD Blueprint Challenge. The photo was taken by a staff member of McCormick Place at NTI.

 May's DHD Color Swatch Challenge called for the use of hot pink, orange, yellow and charcoal grey. These photos from the Jellies exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium were perfect!

May's DHD Journaling Challenge was to create a layout that paid tribute to our moms in some way. So I did.

And May's DHD Scraplift Challenge had me lifting my own work! The layout below is the one Gennifer chose for the challenge... my first such honour! wOOt!!

I did this layout just to keep busy one Saturday night when there wasn't anything on TV. The old farmhouse in the photo used to be just down the hill from the grain elevators. It was demolished in the fall of 2008, not long after I took the photo.
