July Blind CropVille

The July Blind CropVille once again proved to be an entertaining event, with some wonderful outcomes. The girls all set out on a trail of cutting, distressing, paper crimping and sewing to complete their layouts in record time!  Just as well there were Scones with jam and cream waiting!!!  Have a look at Melinda's Reveal, then see how it compared to what the girls all came up with.

Thanks to Melinda for the Layout Design, and Sally for sitting in on the class to help the girls with "intrepretations..."  We're glad to see you and your family arrive back home safely after a monumental trip across America....... and a gazillion photos to scrap!!!

July Sketches!

Each month Scrapville runs a sketch challenge with randomly drawn prizes. The sketches are purely to give you inspiration for your layout and or card, with a design already in mind. You don't have to follow the sketch verbatim, you can flip it, turn it, alter it slightly, add to it, however the original sketch design must be recognizable in your final entry. All entries must be emailed to scrapville@iinet.net.au or dropped into the store in Wodonga before midnight, 14th August. Winners will be announced on the blog on the 15th August.

And if you are wondering about the gorgeous butterflies on each of the layouts... they are made from the Monarch Butterfly punch by Martha Stewart which Janet has in-store at Scrapville along with numerous other popular Martha Stewart punches.

Helen

Helen has had a bit of a break from scrapping, and we are all pleased to see her Mojo return with a vengeance!  She has produced some beautiful work in this double layout for the sketch, right down to the pin pointing at the bottom.  Thanks Helen, lovely work.

Shiralee

 Ok, who else is impressed?  Check out that ribbon weaving... and nice ribbon to boot!  And also noting here the embossing at the bottom of the page, great effort on your take of the sketch Shiralee.

 Sandie D

You just can't go wrong with October Afternoon.  Sandie has put together a lovely card using bits and pieces of this wonderful range.  Looks great Sandie, thanks for joining in.

Monthly Pack Creations!

The monthly packs for July have raced out the door once again, and your creations are now starting to filter back in... and we love what we've been seeing.  From the July Websters Papers Pack we have some very inspiring layouts, each with their own main focus of embellishment, technique or theme...  Have a look at these and see what you think!

Allana

Also completed and brought back into the shop are some of the Sassafras Lass Packs.  I think we are going to see some very interesting and different packs using this one!  I am loving how everyone is tackling these packs, there is such an air of excitement in the Mojo!!  Keep it up girls, the results are just beautiful.  (.......boys too, any boys out there wanting to show off their scrapping just let me know!)

Anthea CT

Heather

We also have some packs of past months to show off.  Please feel free to keep bringing these in girls, we all love to see what you have all been up to and how you've worked it all.  From the June October Afternoon Pack we have a layout from Roz featuring her cooking up a storm in the kitchen........... or maybe it's a storm in the cooking pot........... or maybe it's the kitchen staff doing the drying up............... or maybe it's just too gorgeous to care either way!!  Super photo of this little man Roz, and the pack has just worked together so well.  Thanks for sharing!

There has been some very enthusiastic girls out there, inspired to create by the latest Sketch Challenge.  And not only do we have some wonderful layouts to share, but cards as well.

Roz - Layout

Love, love, love how those flowers came out.  Roz knew as soon as she saw this MS Punch that she had the perfect layout for it - and rightly so! 

 Jennie - Layout

Lots of cutting out and mounting up here, and a nice touch with the fringing too Jennie.  Great to see you getting ........... on board......... with all the new techniques you're learning.
 

Roz - Card

What a great way to showcase those beautiful photos you're just not sure how to use.  Just a beautiful photo Roz.

Rosanne - Cards

Rosanne has been busy with her cards again, using a couple of different themes here with the sketch.  These look like they'll be on the next birthday list..........

Donna - Card

Welcome, welcome, welcome Donna!  Where have you been?  This is just beautiful, your quilling is just awesome, and doesn't the embossed background look great too.  Thanks so much for sharing.

Monthly Pack Layouts

We also have some layouts from the June Montly Pack to share with you as well. 

Jane

This layout is using the My Little Shoebox Flying High pack. Jane has done a great job cutting out mounting up on her layout, and that picket fence is awesome!

 Cassie

Cass has shown us all here that Miss Party Piper really has grown up and isn't a baby anymore!

Mind you, she's still cutie.  Always nice to see how you workup a layout Cass.

Great work girls, so many different ways of putting a layout together from the same pack or sketch.

Thanks for Sharing.  Janet
