Hi everyone and welcome to this week’s Grand Theft Layout Challenge!
Today’s choice is Yolanda aka y_baros. Her gallery is a big inspiration for me and I hope you’ll love it, too!
Soooo, your challenge this week (and the whole next month!) is to browse y_baros’ gallery, find a layout you like and come back here with both the page you picked and the page you scrapped!
And because our designers here at ScrapMatters love Yolanda’s work, too, there’s even some more help for you all in the shop!

This is the page I picked:

and turned it into:

And more inspiration from our wonderful CT ladies!

Tracy (sunshinetk) used one of Yolanda’s inspired templates to create this all boy page:

and created this wonder which is actually a double pager!

Hi guys! It’s Kathleen here to bring you another round of scraplifting! Since we already lifted princess.erica this month, I decided to keep it in the family and lift her sister, melanie3boys. She has an AMAZING gallery, which you can find here, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding inspiration! Here is what the CT and I came up with….

Monsu chose this LO to lift

and here is her version.

Cristina was inspired by this LO

to create this one.

Krisi616 took this LO

and put her own spin on it.

princess.erica was inspired by this LO
