Here's a layout of my wonderful mother and I while vacationing in Vegas a few years ago. I tried to incorporate two challenges into this layout (yes, trying to maximize my scrap time!)

The first was to "use your scraps" from last month's scrap session, which I did by arranging leftover strips of patterned paper from Stampin' Up! to form a circle. I then used a circular punch and cut out circles for a border around the main circle.

The second challenge was over at Scrapbook Star using Grommets. I had actually never even heard of these things until a few weeks ago and then by luck, while browsing around my favourite dollar store (LOL), stumbled upon a few packages! They are basically like large eyelets and you can use them as hooks, mini photo frames, attach ribbon through them, etc.
