Back Porch Memories - Guest Designer for February

Last month, I entered Back Porch Memories (a kit club) Guest Designer contest based on a sketch from Becky Fleck. My layout was chosen and I am the guest designer for February. I am thrilled to pieces. You can enter for March - details are right here. Contest closes Feb 10th.

So, below is my winning entry, a layout of my sister Julie and her family. My favourite product right now, which you will see on most of my recent projects, is Maya Road's velvet ric rac ribbon. So many colours and so much soft texture. If you read below, you can see examples of how I dyed the cream colour ribbon to suit my projects.

TIP: See those orange numbers by Pink Paislee??? They were too bright initially, so I took some brown fluid chalk ink and rubbed it on top. It really toned down the bright orange. You can apply ink to any chipboard letters as long as the ink is darker than the letters. It should make a difference.

Happy scrapping!

PS: Scrapbook Star is having an on-line crop this weekend with prizes drawn randomly for people who complete challenges.
