Winner of the July Scraplift Challenge

Well done Ladies for some brilliant layouts for the July Challenge, scraplifting our talented friend Gabrielle Polloco.

Gabriella said " I have to say, it's always hard to pick when you know how much hard work people put into their work! I pick Jackie's layout....I thought it was cute the way she made the layout her own by changing the circle design behind the photo into a heart....very cute!"

                                                                                     

So very well done Jackie - congratulations.

Please contact us with your details so we can get your prize in the post to you. (email address in side bar).

Thanks toall our entrants for July and to Gabrielle, Jill and our guest designer Carolyn.

How I made my August Layout - Netting I

One of my Design Team layouts for the August Challenge.

This is my daughter Catherine dressed as a teacher for Victorian Day at school in 1999.

Please see my blog for more details.

Here is a reminder of the original layout was created by 2 Dogs, chosen by the DT for this month's challenge.

This is our sketch

I used Kaiser Craft papers from Charlotte's Dream Collection - Vision and Die Cut.

I also used some die cuts from the Charlotte's Dream Collectables.

The Die cut sheet was distressed and inked before being stuck down to a piece for Fuzzy Peach Kaiser Craft cardstock.

A 5" circle cut from Vision was distressed, inked and edged with lace. I stuck this to the right of the layout and mounted my photo onto it.

I cut a 4" circle from cardstock and mounted it onto a small doily, both were inked.

This was then trimmed with a strip of pleated gold netting, and attached to the left of the bigger circle.

I decorated with paper flowers from Kaiser Craft and Wild Orchid Crafts.

The date and 'Catherine' were spelt out with Kaiser Craft Charlotte's Dream Stickers.

I cut the sign from scraps of Bazzil and using a Sizzix die. These were heavily inked and I added eyelets to the holes. I hung the sign from the hanger with some cord then stuck to the layout with 3D foam pads. The word 'Teacher' is made with Thickers letter stickers from American Crafts.

I added some gem swirls and some decorative brads.

Thanks for looking and please check out the challenge post 'N is for Netting' for more details of the challenge which runs until 5th September.
