MAY CHALLENGE IS...

Hi everyone, I am here to announce our May challenge which is to get creative and use some texture paste somewhere on your layout!!

Plus, don't forget that handmade embellishment :)

Here is CT member Leonie's lovely layout:

She has used texture paste and gelatos to create this vibrant background.

A close up of her handmade embellishment; A Piece of Cake Designs Cherry Flair buttons.

Here is Ebony's layout:

Ebony's always keen to 'get messy' with paints and mists, so this months challenge was right up her alley.

Ebony has used an A Piece of Cake Designs Cherry Flair for her handmade embellishment

Here is Charmane's layout:

Her handmade embellishment is a Charm's Creations chevron available through her Facebook page.

Here is a close up detail of how she has used the paste. She has actually used the border strip as a mask. What a great idea!

And finally, Raquel's layout:

Raquel has used texture paste mixed with pink paint and a Dylusions mask.

Hello kids,
I hope you have had a great holiday and had a great first week at school!
I'm sure you are all very excited about getting back to school, seeing your friends and meeting your teacher and that's why I decided that this months challenge will be to scrap a layout about school!
This means you can scrap any photo that relates to school, either from your first day this year or one from last year! It can be from school sports day, a photo with your friends in the playground or your school potrait! You might also include a test or drawing you did at school!

I chose to scrap the Year 12 'crazy' photo that was taken of us on school photo day!
I looking forward to seeing your entries! Make sure you get your mum to link them to the side bar before the deadline!
Happy scrapping,
Sophie xx
