'XO Scotland'- Kimmy

Kimmy here, with my lift of Joanne's page! I was inspired by the overall layout, the tag, and the grungy/painty look of her background. Glimmer Mists and a toilet paper tube to create the circles, the edge of my tag for the lines, and then an eye dropper for the big splotches.  I also used the new Market Street collection by My Mind's Eye. Loving this paper line, so pretty!

Here's Joanne's layout. :) 

You've got less than a week left! Let's see those lifts!! :)

"Nerves of Steel" - Michelle

This month Joanne's page got me inspired to get my son's 4th birthday photos scrapped. My son will be 5 in September! I have carried these photos with me to two retreats and never got the motivation to do them!

Used heat embossing, which is something that I haven't done in awhile. The motorcycle, diamond plate, tire track, little star circles, wing and tag were all heat embossed. Added some distressing using a paper edger and ink!

Here is Joanne's page:

COME ON AND JOIN US! THERE IS STILL TIME TO PLAY ALONG! 

Meet our June Guest DT...

Please say a warm XOXO welcome to our guest DT for June and July...

Phillis Walrath

I am an elementary librarian at a rural school in Northern New York. I live with my husband of 19 years and my 15 year old daughter and my 17 year old son. All are taller than me. I began scrap booking when my kids were little. Now that they are teenagers I continue to create keepsake LOs to save the memories of my husband, me and the kids. I scrap mostly chronological because that is how my brain works and how I organize my books. Scrap booking has become an obsession for me. Since I have part of my closet as my scrap space I can leave my materials out and work on a LO or card whenever I have a few minutes or half a day to work. 

 

Here is the layout Phillis put together based on Joannes page

Why not have a go... There is still plenty of time and we would love to see what you come up with. Don't forget to link it to the linky tool so that we can call past your blog and leave some love!

Another XOXO Reveal...

Hi! Kim here to share my scrap-lift of GDT Joanne's layout for our June challenge here @ XOXO.  As soon as I saw the page I was excited to join in.  I was inspired by the fun page and I knew I wanted to scrap-lift using a similar photo with the motorcycle.

 Here's my layout-

Here's Joanne's layout-

Looking forward to seeing what you were inspired by!

'This Happened' - Tess

Tess here today sharing my scraplift of Joannes challenge page for June. I had so much fun putting this one together and really wanted to use all of these photos (which wasn't easy). I have tried to keep the diagonal flow and a lot of the basic elements that were on Joannes page, but added the extra cluster down the bottom.

'This happened'

This is a photo of a good friend of mine and I at the Colour Run in our home town in Australia. It was so much fun and we came out covered in colour.

Here is Joannes page that it has been lifted from
