How I made my October page II

I used Bazzill Olso cardstock as the basis of my page with Bo Bunny Barefoot and Bliss papers:

Barefoot Cutouts, Bubbles, Beach Bag, Stripe and Surf.

Each panel is cut and mounted onto the blue bazzill before adding to the page to create the borders. 

I added part of a doilly under one panel (mounted on 3d foam pads) with some prima flowers.

The title was cut with the Cricut Life's a Beach and faux stitched with a white gel pen.

Some of the Hibiscus flowers and leaves were added to the side with 3d foam.

The journalling block came from the Cutouts sheet and the remainder of the doilly and flowers were placed under the edge. The other tag was also from the cutouts sheet, only using part of it.

This is the sketch we worked from...

And Georgia's original page.

Challenge closes on the 5th November with another fab prize on offer for the winner, so still time to enter.

B is for Borders

For the month of October the design team selected this great layout designed by Georgia K Keays.

Please see Georgia's blog ON MY MIND for more of her layouts. As you will see from Georgia's layouts, many of them feature narrow borders around the page, patterned papers and photos. We want you to use this idea in your scraplifts this month.

"I’m Georgia and I live in the Perth hills with my lovely husband and three kids, Lucy, Eliza and Archie. I started scrapbooking in February of 2008 and it quickly turned into an obsession."

This is the Design Team sketch:

And here are our layouts for inspiration.
