Welcome to.....................

WOW girls what a whirlwind of an adventure, you all made this a very hard decision, so hard in fact that Sue and Craig left it up to Sheree and Myself to make it!!! And it wasn’t an easy one at all, Sheree and I chatted about it for a long time, sure we had our favourites, and believe me this changed from round to round, BUT what we really needed to do was sit down and come to a decision for our **NEW DT GIRLS**.

So we sat down and discussed it heavily, going from challenge to challenge, entry to entry, and all of those that completed the requirements, (and well done to all of you because I don’t remember coming across an entry that didn’t) We were after entries that applied the requirements in a unique way and had stand out pages, something that really stood out to us in the overall comp. Of course we changed our minds time and time again, but in the end our decision came down to 2 lucky ladies, SO without further ado the new members joining the Scraploot Design Team are…………….

Kylie &

Kim

Congratulations Girls!!

We are all looking forward to working with you, and I am sure everyone is looking forward to your inspiration!

Sue has informed me that you were both over the moon, Congratulations once again, very well deserved!

NOW for some more good news, its not over yet….we are now working on selecting three of you wonderful ladies to be Guest DTs…so stay tuned….we will be in touch early next week…


OOO its exciting isnt it!!

Design Team Challenge #4

So how are we finding all of the challenges? I have to admit I am loving seeing the
Gallery so full of GORGEOUS pieces of work! so well done to you all!!

On to this weeks challenge. This week I want to see a multiphoto layout, I want to see

~ at least 3 photos of various sizes
~ a punched shape of any size/shape
~ rubons
~ and I want to see you make use of patterns in some patterned paper

here is my sample

Photobucket

Here I have used 5 photos in 3 different sizes, I have used my circle punches (3 different sizes), some Basic Grey and Scenic Route rubons and made use of the Basic Grey Arctic line, cutting out the Dinosours and Wavey lines from the papers.

SO, dust off those punches (remember you can use 1 or 100 different punched shapes) print off those multi photos (hmmm thinking Parties, Holidays, Christmas, Easter...........) get out those rubons (can be as old as the hills, so long as you use rubons on your layout somewhere) and cut out those patterns (oooo LOVE those Flowers, Flourishes, Dinosours, Robots, Birds..........) and get scrapping.



Now Nitty Gritty stuff.

The Layout must be up in the Gallery by Sunday 11.59pm 8th of June EST
Please only one entry per person
And follow these guidelines for the challenge, we want to see your creativity, but within these set guidelines.



Anthea

Oh and if there are any questions, please just leave a comment and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
