Victory - How I made my June page II
We used Papermania Portobello Road papers.
I started with the blue dot and gutted 9" from the centre. The straw bazzill cut to 11" and mounted centrally. The paper pack contains some die-cut flags so I used on behind my photo mount which is cut from blue patterned paper 5x8". The photo's are 4.5 x 3.1/4" and are from my Dad's collection.
I cut a strip of red bazzill and added a torn strip of the red floral paper.
We had some union flag ribbon so I cut flags off, distressed the edges with ink and stapled them to the strip along with some twin which I wrapped around.
Various elements from the postcard paper was cut and added, some on 3d foam.
The message was punched with an SU oval in three colours and offset with my notes on top.
I added some twine across the top of the page with staples and "hung the flags out".
Another piece of ribbon was added along the bottom of the photo mount, some ruffled with double sided tape.

How I made my Glorious Queen Page
As 2012 is a big year for Britain, with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee I wanted to feature this in my June Design Team layout.
I love these Portebello Road papers from Papermania and they were prefect for the theme. I googled images of the Queen and picked these two as they were just right being red white and blue. I think they were photographed by veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards
In addition I used straw, red and indigo Bazzill, Best of British and Vintage union jack ribbons from Crafty Ribbons. The red, white and blue Divine twine is from Papermaze, the heart doily is also from Papermania.
We are scraplifting this layout by Rô Phillipson, and the technique is to use 'white space'.
This is the Page Maps Sketch Rô created her layout from, so we used it too!
Here is what I did to make my layout:
Take the Union Jack paper and gut this to make a 1 ½” frame to save some of the paper for future use.
Cut the Straw Bazzill to measure 11” x 11”, ink the edges and stick down centrally over the border paper.
All the following were prepared and then stuck into place when they were all ready and positioning worked out. Trim the two photos to measure about 3 ½” x 3 ½”, stick to the cream paper. Trim around close to the edges of the photo with stamp effect scissors. Mount these onto the blue polka dot paper measuring about 4” x 8”.
Stamp and punch the Stampin’ Up decorative label onto a piece of Straw Bazzill cut from where you know your photos will cover the gap! Ink the edges and write your details in the centre.
Lightly ink the heart doily with blue and red chalk inks.
Cut letters from blue card and their shadows from the red, glue blue to red, using the Storybook Cartridge and the Cricut.
Prepare four ribbon flags – for each one cut ribbon so you have two whole flags and a small amount of the next flag on both sides. Glue together with DST tucking the ends in so they don’t fray, giving you a double sided ribbon flag.
Now work out where everything will be placed, mark lightly with pencil and remove. Stamp with the Prima brick wall stamp so some of the image will show from behind your items when they are stuck in place.
Run a length of DST across the bottom of the layout about 3” up from the bottom. Lay the ‘Best of British’ ribbon across pleating it randomly as you go, making sure it’s flat where the photo will be. Tuck the ribbon ends under the cardstock at the edges.
For the flag poles - Cut 3 lengths of twine as long as you want them, stick all three firmly to the page under where the label will be. Thread a flag or two onto each length of twine. Bring each length up towards the top and spread them out and thread each one through to the back of the layout with a large needle. Add a button or brad to the top. Stick the ribbon flags into place on the layout.
Now add all your prepared items. Stick the heart doily down then the photos. Add the label with 3D foam pads. Finally arrange and stick down the title.
Thanks for looking and I hope you will take part in the challenge. Pop back to the 1st June post ' W is for White Space' post to learn more about the challenge. More info on my blog too.
