LAYOUT OF THE WEEK

Sorry I am a little Late, this weeks LOTW is by Top End Girl. Thanks Karen for showing us a wonderful way to use a sequence of photographs and I just love those colours.


TSO June Challenges - My Take

Looking for a fun challenge this month ??

Still time to get creative!!!!

Why not head over to The Scrappers Outlet.

I managed to get a chance to get the challenges done that were set by my fellow design team members. I must say I had so much fun creating these layouts.

This were the colours chosen for the Chocoholics Challenge.



My take on this challenge


A close up

I promise you in real life it does look like the colours.. just for some reason I can't get the true colours showing up.. no matter where I take the photo.

My next challnge was the June Inspiration challenge.

This was what was chosen to inspire us.

Ready Steady Scrap !!!

Looking for something to do as winter sets in this month...

There is still a bit of time to get this done before the end of the month.

Why not head over to The Scrappers Outlet.

I have been given the opportunity to set the Ready Steady Scrap for the month of June.

The "ingredients" for this month recipe are:
Pinwheels
Embroidery Floss
Buttons

Plus using this sketch:

sketch from Page Maps

Here's my sample:


If you have never made pinwheels before here's some instructions.. beware they are super easy and addictive!

You'll need:

Tape
Thumb tacks
Scissors
Double Sided Paper

Method:

* Cut a 5 inch square piece of paper.

* Fold it into a triangle, unfold it and fold it into a triangle the other direction so that you have an "x" in fold lines through the center of your square.

* Start from one corner of your square and cut along the fold line towards the center of your square stopping about 1/4 inch from the center. Repeat this process for all four corners.

* Starting at the top left corner, work clockwise around the square folding in each corner (don't crease the folds). I recommend taping down the corners in the center to keep them from slipping. You can always cut the tape later.

* Then you can just put the brad through the center of your pinwheel and secure at the back you're all done!

Don't forget to head over to The Scrappers Outlet Gallery to see what everyone else creates this month,
