July 2025 Challenge #3

 Welcome back to Flashback Month.  Here's a reminder of our kit which,hopefully by now, you have created your own version.

Now for our 3rd Challenge.

Here is a layout I did back in 2014 when we had the original kit

Appropriately the title is "This place makes me so happy."  For this challenge I want you to scraplift it. In case you're curious we were looking around Vancouver.

The Design Team have created some ideas for you.

I pulled in this paper from DCWV "Taja Mahal" from 2009. I thought the circle design was a good representation of Julene's paper. I also had no ideas of the photos I would scrap when I pulled my kit together. I found a few pictures of Derek helping out when we were shoveling snow. I thought the circles made excellent snowflakes. 

I did not use any of the embellishments that I included in my kit. I added a few things when it came time make my layout, Dark Blue, white, orange and red cardstock, 3 snowflake punches, alpine snowflake, crystal and large Fiskars snowflake punch, I am using the Martha Stewart Cherish border punch.

I matted the paper with the dark blue cardstock along with the photos. My photos are a different size than Julene's 1 4x6 and 2 4x4. I added the punched border to the bottom of my 4x6 photo and the top of the page. I found a mitten ephemera and added that to the circle. The snowflakes are punched in the orange, red and white cardstock. I love how this layout turned out.

I kept close to the basic structure of the lift, but I was able to add more photos by replacing two 4x6 pics with four 3x4 pics.

I used the same structure as the original layout as it worked perfectly with these 20+ year old photos.  I also loved the "happy" so made sure to use that in my little title under the right side photo.  I also loved using the chalkboard elements on this one!

Now it is your turn. Make sure you add it to Facebook in the appropriate post.
