SUMMER FUN CHALLENGE.



This one is an EASY PEASY one... Just scrapbook about SUMMER!
Vacations, the beach, summer treats, or just kickin' back & relaxing...whatever YOU do to make summer fun! Here's some inspiration from The Lollipop Girls...

Jeanette a.k.a. Lush Liquorice


Jeanettes lush color palette just screams of sunshine and blue skies.
The flowers make me think of a summer garden. And the little kid noshing on an ice cream, one of the cutest things ever!


Kristin a.k.a. Pumpkin Sue


Kristin knocked it out of the waterpark with her fun colorful page
featuring one BIG fabulous photo! Love the title work & embellies on top of the photo!

Mo a.k.a. Lil' Mint Mocha


Mo scrapped about a summer trip on this ultra fun layout
that just screams of vintage travel!

Kimmy a.k.a. Foreign Chocolate Correspondent


I chose to to my layout about a beach trip and used mainly printed off digital elements to create my page. The title was scratched din the photo after it was coated in bleach.

Foreign Chocolate Correspondent Kimmy here with a brand new challenge for all you Sweethearts!! :)


PINTEREST CHALLENGE.





I LOVE this site. It's full of inspiration.
Go to the PINTEREST DIY Boards and find something to inspire a project.
You can also just browse Pinterest for something inspiring, or use a something you've already "pinned" as inspiration. Don't want to go searching ? Then just use the photo above! Easy peasy!

You can just use a photo as inspiration, or follow a tutorial.
When you post your project please include a link to the photo that inspired your creation!

The first two Lollipop Girls used the photo above as their inspiration.


SOOKIE a.a. CINNAMON SWIRL

Sookie was inspired by the frames in the photo to create this romantic, elegant layout.


KATE BLUE a.k.a KIT KAT

Kate was inspired by the clean simple lines in the photo,
the butterflies, scalloped shapes, & the colors to create this fun whimsical page!

KRISTIN a.k.a PUMPKIN SUE
Kristin was inspired by the color palette she found on pinterest and
created this wonderful boyish LO of her nephew.


JEANETTE a.k.a LUSH LIQUORICE


Jeanette was inspired by the quote on this wall hanging
to create this adorable girly page! :)

KIMMY a.k.a FOREIGN CHOCOLATE CORRESPONDENT
Page by Maggie Holmes (Studio Calico)


I was inspired by the soft color palette of Maggie's page above
and by the words across the top of her banners. : )
