Some 8x8 layouts

I've been doing a few 8x8 layouts lately, and loving the smaller format.

This one was based on Leanne's challenge over at the Scrap Pile cybercrop:



# Midnight Madness ~ Sketch 20
# Simon Says ~ Stitch it Up
I stitched around the distressed edges of the patterned paper.

This one was for the September monthly challenge at Scrap Lounge ~ using fabric, polka dots and a journalling card:




And the last one is my entry for the September 123 Challenge Blog ~ using a book page, a non-scrapbooking item (broken butterfly brooch) and the word 'smile' (on the journalling card):
