Big news scrappers!!!
I'm so excited to be able to announce that I have been accepted onto the Lasting Memories Layout Challenge blog.. This was the very first blog that I was a DT member for many years ago.. I am beyond stoked that I am back to join the other DT members and share plenty of inspiration with you.
LM#450 'Vacation Photos'
Our theme this month is 'Summer Fun and the Outdoors'.
Your challenge this week is to scrap those wonderful vacation photos. Anything goes and if you don't have vacation photos, then do a 'staycation' layout.

For my first layout back as a DT I'm so excited to share this layout. I have taken a slight twist to the challenge and actually used a photo that was taken on the day off of a working trip.
I was chosen along with these 3 guys for an experience of a lifetime in my passion for being a Speedway Steward / Official. I am so lucky to have been able to do it with them, our mentors and our handler... :)

As always I start off by laying out my page with the general design concept of what I want.. This is actually the first time I have cut up a photo and matted it for this effect. I LOVE IT!
This above photo is my work in progress and I'm that weird crafter that always clears the desk and fully resets everything (putting everything away in it's correct spot, leaving the glass cutting mat empty and clear)..
I used a beautiful brown for the base that matched with the polka dots on this pattern paper. It is the backside piece from Ultimate Crafts "L'aquarelle Designs" collection.. A stunning 12x12 pack that I have not been able to bring myself to actually use until now.
Then I added some white Gesso to the sides in a wide sweep so to add an element to catch the eye but not to over power..
Plenty of layering using the Kaiser "Hide and Seek" collection.
Twine and the use of 3D tape gives the extra feel of dimension too.
I have not added a journal card yet, but I will soon. I will add it to the left side of the large photo matt.
Well there we go. Thank you very much for joining me today and I'm so excited to be able to share with you all my big news of joining the Lasting Memories Design Team!
I really hope that you will drop by the blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the team members and then get creative to link up your own entry.. There is plenty of options for this challenge theme, we all have some Vaycay photos laying around somewhere.. lol
