How I made my Ripped page......


This my version of this months scraplift using Basic Grey Lucile papers.


Use  scrap paper to build your layout on, this will not be seen once layout complete.
I used 'Seams' paper marked at 5 3/4" and ripped down a ruler to create the top layer.
I then tore two 2" x 12" pieces of both 'Pleat' and 'Pin It'. The torn edges were further distressed more and place under the top layer rolling them over. 
Layer the papers so that the larger pieces cover the main area, and the other two papers show beneath the opening. As the papers are double-sided you will see all six surfaces of the patterned papers.

Use two pieces of 'Pleat' to fill in the gaps at the top and bottom of the layout. These need to be about 4" x 2 1/2".

I used two pieces of leftover paper underneath to cover the scrap paper. 

 Circles were cut with Creative Memories cutters as follows:
1 circle with 'Pin It' and the outer edge of the medium size ring using the blue blade. 
Gut this circle with the inner edge of the large ring and the red blade
Set smaller circle aside to use later.
Cut 1 circle with 'Pleat' using outer edge of middle ring and the red blade.
Distress the circles and mount the smaller one over the gutted larger circle.
5" and 4 1/2" once cut.
Place to left of centre on page.

I cut two photo mats approximately 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" from "Pleat' & "Pin-it"  and added a 4" x 3" portrait photo onto them, then placed over the circles. 

I used elements from the sticker sheet and layered them with 3d foam – I also added the sentiment “tell me about it” and placed over the centre of the torn page.

A Judi-Kins, gift tag envelope and 'Pin It' paper were used to make a small envelope. which was placed to right of circle. I added the two tags from the element sheet and made a 3rd from leftover paper and added some ribbon  through the holes in the top.


The decorative strips from the cut-off section of the pages were added to the bottom right of my page, the ends were cut at an angle.
Roses cut from the leftover Pin-it  paper were added over this area, along with a butterfly from the element sheet to which I added a rolled paper body and drew antennae.


Some of the bunting triangles were placed in a semi circle below the photo mounts and outlined with a black pen.  A piece ofblack lace was tied into a bow and stuck just above.
The pins were placed through the knot of the bow.



I made a rolled rose with the gutted circle leftover paper and added to the left side with  a circle from the elements sheet.

A reminder of Morag's beautiful original which inspired us.



And of course our sketch.


Still time to enter :)

Good Luck
