Summer Scrapbook Page

Hello everyone,

This week at For Fun Challenges the theme is to make a summer scrapbook page. I must admit to the whole Internet community today – this is my first scrapbook page I made. At first I thought it is a complete mess (very busy and bright) but I think it is publishable in cyber. In the light of this, please be kind with your comments! As I live in the Southern Hemisphere we have just reached the end of winter and today is spring day in South Africa. I used two photos my husband (he admit he is not a good photographer) took in our garden during last summer. I based the layout on the following: Summertime  means friends, fun and flowers, and my two best dog friends, Twyla and Katie, are always ready for playing a ball game in the garden.

I used the following to create the lay out:

• Scrapbook paper from K & Company
• Plain cardstock in lilac, pink and green
• Martha Stewart punch “Double loops”
• Brads for flowers
• Tim Holtz Alterations Bigz die “Tattered Florals”
• Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades embossing folder “Swirls”
• Cuttlebug Embossing Plus “Fanciful Labels”
• Words computer generated

Hope you like my scrapbook page. I will definitely try a lay out again sometime in future. The Design Team at For Fun Challenges did some beautiful lay outs as inspiration – we would like to see your layout this week too.

Greetings and happy scrapbooking,

Amelia
