Challenges and new goodies!

I decided to do some challenges again, with 2 of my designers being on holiday I had some spare time on my hands. There are all challenges at Digiridoo Scraps

Calendar Challenge- everything I used is by Design by TinaTemplate Challenge- Spring in the Air:Design by TinaPhotographic Challenge- my take on the word Patriotic. I used some Rugby photos taken during one of the World Cup finals when South Africa won! South Africa is very patriotic about their rugby!
