I just unzipped them and was able to open a couple of them. Didn't attempt all of them. Seems like it is fine.

I am sorry I missed the swiss challenge but I did a layout anyway http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/galle...68&limit=last1
I have an idea for my japanese layout but I have to get my mom take some pictures of a kimono my grandfather brought my grandmother in 1939. That is the only japanese object I can relate to and I might as well use this challenge to fill out one more page from my heritage album. I am loving these challenges and trying to scrap things that are far back on my list.
Thanks Olga, and I'll try to make it on time for this one.

Thank you for this challenge Olga - I used to love writing Haiku in school - I had a whole book of them that was lost over the years. This really took me back - I think I may even pick it up again. I also had this picture that I took at a Japanese Garden that I've wanted to use for the longest time and just couldn't figure out how. Thanks again- great challenge!

I didn't think it was really fair to use a layout I had already done so I did another in a different style for this challenge. I really hope you like it. You can find it here:

I LOVE these challenges. They really make me think about how I want to represent each place. I am a very literal person so most of my layouts will be about the country chosen and I love the opportunity to delve into each country like this.

Thanks, Olga, for starting this. It has been great fun (and sorry I missed Tunisia).
