August Challenge & July Winners

Well we all had fun with the June “Layered Labels” challenge. Once again you all blew my mind with your incredible talent and inspiration! Bit of a special mention to Faye for the stunning Melting Moments!!  WOW!

The Challenge for August brings with it memories of the good ol’ days before all these dang-fangled things like pre-made embellishments, flowers,  and miniature just about ANYTHING!!!  LOL!

Your challenge this month is to produce a layout celebrating the onset of spring making sure that EVERYTHING that goes onto your layout is completely handmade!  No breaking open a bunch of products and sticking them on – every aspect of every element must be completely created by you!

You can use punches, dies, tools and mediums and if your element does come pre made, then you need to somehow alter it to make it your own. You can ink it, emboss it, or paint it – whatever it takes to make it your individual “handmade” creation!

The theme is spring has sprung – so naturally Mandii will be making her own handmade flowers. After all – that’s what spring is all about!! 



The winners for this month’s Challenge (July – Layered Labels Title Element), chosen by the ever fabulous Tania Ridgwell are:

1. Cyndy Prettejohn

2. Sue Prade

3. Debby Williams 

4.Willemina Garrett

5. Donna Sims
