From Ange :)

This month's challenge made me think brown, lots of brown and I had the cutest idea for a layout after I heard my son's response to wearing his new shoes for the first time. This is what I came up with.

All the layout details are on my blog. I hope to see your take on this fun challenge! :)Ange http://scrappingcompulsion.blogspot.com/

For this LO I decided to use Hot Chocolate colours for a photo of our autumn holiday last year- the colours fitted nicely  with the October holiday title and the colours of the photo itself.

Hot Chocolate by Tiffany

Our friend Tiffany came by this month with a Hot Chocolate layout! Send yours in too! All of the information is written on the right side of the blog as to how to play :) Deb♥ From Tiffany: Hello! here is my layout for the Hot Chocolate challenge. I used a chocolate brown cardstock as my background, inked the edges of my papers with chocolate ink, and used pics of my kiddos in the kitchen for my layout!

Hot Chocolate by Elizabeth!

Hello Everyone,

This month I have used the colours suggested by the Hot Chocolate theme and I've really tested myself by creating a double page layout ... I have only ever made single page layouts till now.

The reason for the double page is that I had so many photos of the Shell Garden, taken from different parts of the garden showing some of the special features, it seemed a shame to leave any of them out.

To give a bit of interest to the embossed base card I've splashed chocolate and raspberry coloured paints randomly around. There's very little patterned paper in the layout - I thought the photo's provided more than enough pattern - just the Kraft Kuts die-cut, split in two over the layout and a few scalloped circles punched from Bella BLVD's Family Circle paper, used as embellishments.

Title letters are from various sources as are the flowers and doilies. The shells are from Cornwall. 

Because the photos were all different sizes this proved to be a difficult project, however, I am pleased with the end result, but it could be a long time before I tackle a double page layout again.

Thanks for looking,
Elizabeth

Hot Chocolate by our Guest Designer: Rachelle!

Hey Everyone! Have you participated in our Hot Chocolate Layout Challenge? Rachelle, our Guest Designer for this month, is here today with her beautiful layout! I LOVE this dog!!!
Deb♥

This is my take for the chocolate challenge using a simply and clean style. I used layering, banner, twine and a picture of a beautiful brown lab dog. Perfect for the design.

This challenge was another easy one for me because I think Chocolate Brown is the most used color in my scrapbooks.  I used this opportunity to use my favorite color combination of pink and brown.  I really dug into my stash for this one.  For more details, visit http://MyScrapbookingBlog.com

Hot Chocolate by Brenda!

Hello Everyone! Brenda here with my interpretation of our HOT CHOCOLATE challenge! The first thought that came to me when we were given the hot chocolate challenge was the color brown. There were a few other things that came to mind later, but I stayed with the color brown because I knew I had this cute photo of my great nephew which has been waiting on the scrap production line! LOL To create my layout I used a sketch by Diana Fisher and the following supplies from my stash: Echo Park This & That Charming PP and embellishments Bazzill “Bitter Chocolate” Cardstock Lily Bee Tiny Alphas Thanks for stopping by and I am looking forward to seeing everyone else’s take on this challenge!

Hot Chocolate by Debbie!

For this month's "Hot Chocolate" challenge, I pulled out my "brown" drawer of embellishments and took a peek. I immediately came across the biggest item in my drawer and it screamed "chocolate" to me. It was a big, round scalloped circle made of thick felt. I can't even remember who the manufacturer is, but I think it came as part of a mini book that I pulled apart to use on different projects. I then went hunting for photos to scrap, and I came across these two of my grandchildren and some good friends posing for a photo near a water fall. After playing around a bit, I figured out my title and where my photos would go. Everything I used on this layout has been in my scrap stash for at least two years. I am so happy to have finally put it all to good use! I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with for this challenge. Happy Scrapping!

Hot Chocolate by Tammy!

My kids are crazy about the drink hot chocolate, much to my surprise I don't have a single photo of them drinking it (note to self: take photos of kids drinking hot chocolate this winter).  Instead I found a photo of my son eating a s'more on his very first camping trip--plenty of milk chocolate both on the s'more and in the layout!  I used Echo Park and Simple Stores papers and stickers for the layout, as well as Jillibean Soup corrugated alphas. 

Hot Chocolate by Haley!

Hot chocolate always makes me think of winter, but I've already created a layout of my daughters and their love of hot chocolate.  It's not cool enough here to make some yet either, although I'm sure we'll make some wonderful memories this winter.  When I found these pictures of me when I was four playing in a South Florida snow, I had to scrap them!  If you look closely at the Chocolate squares, you'll see pots and mugs of hot chocolate.  All of my supplies are from Close To My Heart (some new and some old).  If you'd like to learn more about my layout, head on over to http://inkyscrapper.blogspot.com.

Hot Chocolate by Charlotte!

Hot Chocolate makes me think of winter and winter makes me think about Keeping Warm and what a better way to do this than to drink a nice, hot cup of Cocoa! I made this little card to give to someone once Winter strikes us. I used some pretty old stash that I had. It's a line from Echo Park called Wintertime and I just happened to have the cup of cocoa sticker left over. I also used up some really old sparkly ribbon that I had laying around. It's hard to photograph, but looks really pretty in real.

Hot Chocolate by Wendy C!

This is probably one of my most favorite things about Winter...yummy Hot Cocoa!  I used up lots of scraps from an Echo Park kit to put this page together.  The chipboard pieces are a mix of Bo Bunny and Basic Grey.  And the cute bow on the mug is also from Basic Grey.  I cut apart some of the Bo Bunny swirls to make "steam" for the hot cocoa.  I can't wait to see what concoctions the kids come up with this year for our hot cocoa treats!  Stay Warm!

Hot Chocolate by Tamara!

The minute I heard hot chocolate was the challenge for October, I knew I was going to do a monochromatic layout in Brown.  I love to work with monochromatic so I just went to my brown pattern paper and started to pull brown things out of my stash that I thought would go with this fun fall photo of my husband and I. I love to ink up the edges so that is what I did.  I used brown paper, brown ribbon, brown brads, I even found some brown flowers.  I love the final result and encourage you to grab some brown and whip up yourself some hot chocolate!
