Design Team Inspirations

June 29th, 2009

Piradee’s Patchwork Challenge closes tomorrow and you still have one more day to get that layout in !! It’s a great challenge and good for getting those creative scrap juices going for scrappers who would like to try something different. Post your layouts in the Gallery *here*

There was much excitement at Made With Love as scrappers waited for Basic Grey’s newest offerings of Lemonade and June Bug. The two lines did not disappoint with Lemonade containing a delicious palette of Pinks, Greens and Yellows and June Bug with spunky Orange and Red tones.

Three of the Design Team were delighted at working on the Basic Grey collections as well as the accompanying gorgeous lace paper. You will love the dazzling eye-candy they created :

Merdrey used the large blooms backed with the beautiful lace paper.

Sharon worked with the sweetest colours for a beautiful layout of Mom and Child.

Leena created this punchy layout of her son with the lace cardstock as the background.

Click on their names and you will be taken to the Gallery for more details of their layouts.

We get scrappers who say they love Basic Grey but find it difficult to work with the large floral designs in the paper. As you can see the layouts above will defintely give you a couple of ideas on layering and how to successfully combine the paper designs to get stunning results. Try them and remember to share your layouts in the Gallery !

Have a good week ahead, stay safe and happy scrapping ! Aida

Layout of the Week

June 28th, 2009

Hello there !!!

We are often asked about what we look for in a LOTW. The most important is the story or journaling in the layout, after that the photos and overall design, colour and if any unusual techniques were used. What we love best, what we feel it’s the biggest privilege, is getting to know the scrappers through their layouts and being able to feature a variety of styles or see a fresh take on a product. Featuring a layout in this blog is our way of saying **Great job, keep going, we want to see more !**

LOTW #34

{ Designed by Avina }

Congratulations Avina !! The journaling is very personal and really sweet, a great tribute to a grandfather at the beginnings of a life-long bond with his newly arrived grandson.

I hope your weekend has been good, Term 3 of school starts tomorrow and I wish everyone a smooth, safe start to the week ahead !

Keep scrapping …….. Aida
