For the folks who haven&#8217;t taken part in a <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Recipe<\/strong><\/span> before, I look at it like a <strong>Speed Scrap<\/strong> but without the ticking clock. The host of the <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Challenge<\/strong><\/span> provides a list of required elements for the <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Challenge<\/strong><\/span>, and each participant approaches the <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Challenge<\/strong><\/span> from their own angle. This month&#8217;s list looks like this:<\/p>\n<p>1. warm tone background<br \/>\n2. a frame<br \/>\n3. a button or a brad<br \/>\n4. at least 3 flowers<br \/>\n5. a string<br \/>\n6. a journal or a pocket card<\/p>\n<p>(These 6 are obligatory.)<\/p>\n<p>Today I have seven layouts to share with you, and we&#8217;ll look at each one to see how well it meets the terms of the <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Challenge<\/strong><\/span>. Are you ready?<\/p>\n<p>Before we jump in, I have to provide the obligatory info part of the post&#8230; Each of the layouts is linked to its spot in the <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Challenge Gallery<\/strong><\/span>.
