ValerieT Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate. My original plan for this week was a tour of upstairs, but I think that might make a good theme for colour challenges. So you are going to have to wait for that idea. I don't know what it is like where you all live but here in Yorkshire we do something rather unusual. We all sit down to eat our evening meal together. I'm sure most of you do the same, but here in Yorkshire the kids eat separately to their parents. I personally don't understand why they do and I sincerely hope it's a habit I never pick up. Anyway, when we are all sat around the table, we talk. Sometimes we talk about what we've all been up to or the news but mostly we have fun. We tell jokes (bad ones), play games and generally be silly. For that hour or so we try to forget what's stressing us out, or what problems we may have and just enjoy each others company. I did wonder for quite some time how I could turn this into a challenge, but the answer was obvious really. When we sit around the table we are a "group". And what do I love to add to my layouts? A cluster. A cluster is a group of embellishments, do you follow my thinking? So you challenge is to include a cluster on your layout, and as I have four children I would like your cluster to have at least four embellishments in it. Post your completed layouts in the Thursday Challenge Gallery and post a link back here so we can all leave you some love. Here is my layout The Terrible Foursome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapgran Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have a phobia of clusters. Mine never look any good so this will be a BIG challenge for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Great challenge! Is it scary that I completely followed your line of thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyladybug Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Thanks for the inspiration--it has been a long time since I've done a layout. This one was a great ice-breaker for me. I loved the idea of celebrating our "group" with a nice little cluster--brilliant! Greg's Birthday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhbren Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Our group for dinner was nine - DD & her husband, kids, and in-laws. And before they arrived, while the turkey was roasting, I worked on this page. Thanks for the challenge, Valerie. This is yet another set of photos that have been waiting for several years to be scrapped and printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momvetkat Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi everyone! I am not happy with my cluster, but at least it distracts a little from the lousy photos! Thanksgiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
