Scrap the girls - June

I have had a go at this months Scrap the Girls

you had to use:

WINTER COLOURS

e.g. brown, blue, red, orange, green, no pastels, no brights

Here is my take:
I have used some texture paste and some chipboard/wooden pieces 

(As I have so many in my stash, its about time I used them!!lol)

Week 4 - SB top 50

week 4 of the scraplift challenges over at Scrapbooking top 50 Aust

This week we had to scraplift

Sharmaine Kruijver

and here is my take of her awesome page

 I have kept a similar sketch but flipped it, but went also with:

oranges and blues,felt items, badge, circle behind the photo and stars

next up was a lift of Em Stafrace

Here is my take on her page:

I have flipped the sketch, but kept a similar shape.

Still used the filmstrip inspired photos,

the banners under the photo, similar colour scheme,

stenciling on the background and replaced the

buttons with brads 

these scraplift challenges have been so much fun and because

I have done both lifts each week I have now completed

8 extra pages this month!!!

Gotta be happy with that!

I had photos that suited the criteria so I gave it a go

sport photos, 1 photo smaller than 6x4, stamping, and I have picked the colour 

red from the list

to compliment the colours in the photos.

Here is a closeup of the stamping and embellies

Here is my take

I used mini photos from this years school

so I scrapped one and the other is hanging

proudly in his room. 

Items used:

various pp, American craft thickers, Kaisercraft stamps and letters,

Week 2 over at SB top 50 has another 2 amazing pages to 

scraplift for their challenge.

Firstly was this lift of a page by Charmane Koch

Here is my take

I kept to the same sketch as the original page.

 I even used a lush lollipop of Charms Creations too

now here is my take of Rikki Graziani's page

 I kept the same sketch shape, just went for

brighter colours to suit the

 party theme.

I even used up some items i got in the amazing race kit from last year

that was run by Top 50 too.

I have also used a clear cut doily coloured black by AH Scrap

Thats all for now, thanks for looking. Hope to see
