This layout brings so much happiness to me every time I see these photos of my grandson Brennan.  His Mom thought he would do good at soccer.  She wanted him to run out some energy.  He totally just goofed off at every game, and was not even into it. I grabbed these pics on the sidelines.  This shows his over active personality in action!  I used my triangle punch to create a border with personality placing them off just a bit. Then I added embellishments, my title and some journaling.

Tear It by Wendy K

Wendy K said this about her layout:

Tearing is such an easy technique because you really can't mess it up however it's something I haven't done in awhile.  I really like using this technique with white-core paper!  I used a sketch from My Sketch World.  Visit My Scrapbooking Blog for details.


Here are the exact details about our challenge for November: Breakout the scraps of paper and start tearing! Create a layout using those torn papers in small amounts or abundance. You choose! Then, email groovydeb@yahoo.com with your layout. You may be chosen to be our guest of the month with your participation :) Now it's YOUR turn to play!

Wendy C said this about her layout:  

How fun is it to use up some scraps that just can't be thrown away! I love this Halloween text paper and found the perfect use for it. I also used up some bits of Kraft paper. Since the photos were of my kids making a mess, the photo mat just had to be torn up too. What a fun challenge! And great way to "clean" up the desk!

Tear It by Tamara

 Tamara said this about her layout:


I love to tear and create some serendipity.  On this layout I just tore small pieces, inked them up and placed them along the bottom of the photo.  Pattern papers make for a pretty scenario on this one.  I also tore the edges of the pattern paper in the upper right hand corner.  I love the extra embellishment feel that this kind of tearing creates for my layout.

Lindsey said this about her layout:

Little Bunny Rabbit by Lindsey Krauss.

Paper: Crate Paper, Flocked Lace: We R Memory Keepers, Sticker letters: Adornit, Glimmer Mist: Tattered Angels, Template: TheCraftersWorkshop.com, Marker: Sharpie.

Note: I loved Wendy's 3-photo layout with the design on the bottom, so I took that to a page of my own. I added a little layering, a few critters and sprayed away!

DT of the Month Tamara!

I asked Tamara to be our Designer of the Month. I know you will love her projects being shown throughout the month. Here is her first. Maybe you can start a project just like this one and give it as a wonderful Christmas gift next month!!! Deb♥


Tamara said: This was a fun project to complete. First I added the Christmas paper to the frame, sanded the edges and placed my photos of the Elves at Gardner Village in the frame. I added 3D flowers for embellishments, added the banner in the corner and labeled the event. This is now my favorite new darling Christmas item I get to look at on my desk!

Tear It by Brenda

Brenda said this about her layout:
Hello SOS Friends! 
I am sharing a layout with you today that I created for our Tear It Challenge.  This is one technique that I struggle with and hardly ever use.  I find it hard to rip and or tear perfectly new paper, but I was so happy how this layout turned out and the paper tearing worked perfectly with the theme of my page.

I created my layout using some of my old Echo Park Apothercary Stash, some Recollection embellies and a sketch by Nathalie. For more details on products and to see the sketch visit my blog:  granddivasscrappyplace.blogspot.com

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to show SOS how you use your torn papers!

Have a Scraptabulous Day!!!

Tear It by Karen

Our designer, Karen said this about her layout : 

MY LO for the tear it up challenge broke my normal paper rules.
I tore into a whole brand new sheet of paper for this and it nearly broke my heart as I intended just to use scraps. Still I'm really pleased with the result as I used both sides of the paper and it looks really pretty.

The Lo is a picture of my daughter eating an ice cream on holiday in the summer. I used some pretty ice cream colours torn into strips and layered up at the side of the photo.

Tear It by Groovy Deb♥

Hello SOS Friends! It is hard to believe it is November already! We have a new challenge for you this month and I think it will get us ready for the holidays! Before too long we will be scrambling to get packages wrapped so to get us prepared we are going to tear our paper just like we may end up doing if we are not careful when we begin wrapping!

Here is my layout which has a lot of glare from my glitter, but you should be able to see those torn papers. The layout represents my youngest daughter's birthday when she turned 8 this summer. We had no birthday cake yet so we celebrated with a candle and some fortune cookies that went along with our Chinese food, lol!

Pagerize This by Debbie

Debbie is swinging by today with her version of Wendy's layout. Let's see a reminder of Wendy's and then on to Debbie's. OK!
Deb♥
























From Debbie:
To Pagerize Wendy's layout this go round was an absolute pleasure! I loved the design of the three photos in a vertical row and embellishments going horizontal. I just moved my photo line onto the left side of the page, and lifted the horizontal line up to almost the middle. I also loved her line of buttons. I found the matching circle garland in my stash that went with the My Mind's Eye Kraft Fun Day collection that I used for my layout, so I used it instead of buttons. Thanks so much Wendy for the inspiration!

From Ange :)

This month's challenge made me think brown, lots of brown and I had the cutest idea for a layout after I heard my son's response to wearing his new shoes for the first time. This is what I came up with.

All the layout details are on my blog. I hope to see your take on this fun challenge! :)Ange http://scrappingcompulsion.blogspot.com/

KAREN said this about her layout:
I decided to use the strip of three photos from the Pagerize original as the inspiration for my LO. I love scrapping with Instagram photos so this was the perfect opportunity to use a few at once. I used softer colours instead of the brights. The LO is about a day out in Birmingham we had when my husband ran a half marathon. We had lunch in one of our favourite places after- Wagamama

Guest Designer Rachelle is a Layer Queen!

I love each project Rachelle has shown us  already, but she keeps bringing more beauty to the blog every time she visits. Gracious, this is lovely! Her use of layering shows that more is better! Deb♥

From Rachelle:
This is a shabby chic style. I used 
 metal trinkets, rossettas, layering, and followers.

Karen said:
For this LO I decided to use Hot Chocolate colours for a photo of our autumn holiday last year- the colours fitted nicely  with the October holiday title and the colours of the photo itself.

Guest Designer Rachelle is in the House ;)

I am pleased to show more work by our guest of the month, Rachelle. Her ability to add each touch to form a unique layout is flawless!
Deb♥ 

Here is what she had to say about this next layout: This is a challenge take using the distressed style. I used: sand, shells, wood, burlap, and greenery. It is a funny layout with Adam afraid he saw a sea monster.LOL!!!

Hot Chocolate by Elizabeth!

Hello Everyone,

This month I have used the colours suggested by the Hot Chocolate theme and I've really tested myself by creating a double page layout ... I have only ever made single page layouts till now.

The reason for the double page is that I had so many photos of the Shell Garden, taken from different parts of the garden showing some of the special features, it seemed a shame to leave any of them out.

To give a bit of interest to the embossed base card I've splashed chocolate and raspberry coloured paints randomly around. There's very little patterned paper in the layout - I thought the photo's provided more than enough pattern - just the Kraft Kuts die-cut, split in two over the layout and a few scalloped circles punched from Bella BLVD's Family Circle paper, used as embellishments.

Title letters are from various sources as are the flowers and doilies. The shells are from Cornwall. 

Because the photos were all different sizes this proved to be a difficult project, however, I am pleased with the end result, but it could be a long time before I tackle a double page layout again.

Thanks for looking,
Elizabeth
