September Challenge by Laurie


Posted by Picasa
Design Team Member Laurie created this layout for the September border punch challenge.  She said, "I decided to do something different and actually use the border punched pieces on the border of the layout, whereas I usually use them somewhere in the center of the layout. I thought this would ground my page yet add some other color interest. I then also brought the color in the center of the layout by using my cuttlebug embossing folder, another tool I often forget to use. The brochures about Muir Woods stand in for my title as I used a part of a transparency to make an invisible pocket."

Time is almost up - the September Challenge ends at on the 30th.  Be sure to get your project submitted before the deadline.  See all the details in the September Challenge below.  And don't miss out on our other fun challenges going on right now see the following posts below:  Pagerize This Challenge and the Frugal Friday Tip Challenge.

  1. Laurie! Great job! I think you are totally correct...that edging at the bottom totally grounds the page and I love how you used the brochure as your title work! So creative!
    I love Muir Woods! So beautiful and amazing. Did you go recently? I haven't been in a while.

  3. Love your color choice. Your page looks so Woodsy! I agree that the border punches at the bottom of the page ground your pictures. And how cleaver to use the flyer as a part of your layout.
