52 More Scrapbooking Challenges - Layouts

I recently reviewed the book 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges for Craft Critique (you can find my article here). I had so much fun with the two challenges I wrote about, that I decided to continue with each challenge, and eventually complete all 52. I then thought it would be great to have a place solely dedicated to the challenges and my progress with pictures of the layouts. I'll update each challenge once I complete it!
