WEEK ONE CHALLENGE – [DSO-D001]

There’s NO PLACE like HOME.

The Internet is such a wonderful thing.  I think we sometimes forget how great a thing it really CAN be.  One of the best examples of this, is the variety of people you can meet, friends you can, literally from ALL OVER THE WORLD.  So I thought, why not a challenge to demonstrate that.  Wouldn’t it be great to see just WHERE your Internet friends call home?  Your challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to show us a layout of your home.  Don’t be shy now, we really do want to see!

Check out some of these great "Home" layouts for some inspiration!

Here’s one I did..

Some times, the photos say more then any amount of words could.  So I pretty much let them do all the talking in my layout.  The only scrap supplies I used were Bundle Stacks by LPand3Dogs.  My Home is Kentucky, USA  The photos were all photos I’ve taken, right here in Hopkins County, KY.
