Swirlydoos DT Challenge

We had our first ever Design Team challenge at Swirlydoos.  The subscribers came up with the challenge idea!!  We had to scrap a photo from another DT's family.  We also had to use the photo a minimum of two times AND the photo had to be altered.  To add to the twist, the photos of the finished lay outs were posted to our members but they weren't told who did what page.  Did you follow that?!  LOL


I had the pleasure of scrapping one of Robin's granddaughters.  Isn't she pretty?!  I was sooooooo nervous to scrap this.  I mean, come on....this is ROBIN we are talking about.  She's a flippin' legend!  I decided to run the photo through a Florabella action in PSE and then print an 8x10 on a transparency.  Robin uses transparencies a lot and I did this as a tribute to her style.

I used paper from Prima's Fairy Flora collection (love love love this paper).  I decided to tear one page back, kind of opening the page.  I used some of my favorite stamps and stamped on and off the photo.

I love this branch from Prima.  The little yellow flowers and birds are so cute.  I made the orange flower using a Sizzix Tattered Florals die and yellow card stock.  I then misted the card stock with Tiger Lily Glimmer Mist.  I love the broken brick wall embossing folder I have and decided to add that to the page as well.  I was trying to get a vintage, groovy, urban, girlie feel to this.  LOL  I'm not sure that I pulled it off, but I had fun trying.


Thanks so much Robin for letting me scrap your beautiful granddaughter, and congratulations to you for winning the challenge!!!!!  


Thanks for stopping by!!
