One week to go!

Have you entered the August Challenge yet?

If not, here's a couple more examples from the design team that may inspire you............

Leanne Jago has created this beautiful masterpiece. How gorgeous is that photo!


And here's mine....rather than use an image of a camera, I was inspired by the "pinboard" feel of the prompt and the hanging camera straps.


See you soon!

Hi everyone!!! Its Ebony again! Marelle is still living her dream in the states so I am here to share this months challenge with you!!

                                 Here is your inspirational prompt...



And here is a few of the examples created by the talented design team!!!

First up is Leonie!!!! Hahaha this reminds me of my Maya!! Our children soon become sick of being our little models don't they!?? Great  background technique on this layout!!!!


Next up is Charm! Check out that cool background paper!!!!! Love thise selfies Charm! great way to interpret this challenge too!!!!


Next is Leanne Nankervis. Great challenge for scrapping those holiday pics!!!! Love the film strip and chippie camera!!!

Next is Sophie . LOVE Sophie's interpretation of this challenge! If you have a love of photography this is  a great challenge for you to scrap about it!!!
And I wasn't going to share mine yet but when I saw Sophie's layout I found it ironic that I had scrapped about her and her love of photography in my layout! We went on a mini shoot together!!!! So this photo of her with her camera was perfect to use for this challenge!!!!


Great job by all the DT girls! As you can see there are SO many ways to interpret this challenge!!! So get to it!!! We will share he rest of the DT's layouts over the month! So get scrapping and we can't wait to see your layouts!!!!
