June Mid Month Reveal!!

We are now half way through June, and the weather has definitely turned wintery with lots of rain and cooler temperatures, so what better time to rug up and get some scrapping done! We hope you have added our 'Abandoned Items' challenge to your list! 

All you need to do is use this sketch anyway you like, as long as we can see the bones of the sketch (check the DT inspiration below - they are all such different takes on the challenge!), include at least one of the abandoned items from the list, and of course, your handmade item! Simple! :)

This month's sponsor is none other than the lovely Janet's very own handmade business...

The Resin Rainbow specialises in unique handmade resin embellishments and much more! You can keep up with all their latest news here, and shop in their Etsy shop here!

Now for some DT inspiration to get you started this month...

June Challenge!

Hi everyone! Well winter is finally officially here, hoping it's not too cold at your place yet but if it is, am hoping you are rugged up and warm.

This month's challenge comes courtesy of design team member Janet Bott and looks like this...

That's right - it's time to dust off all those poor "abandoned items" in your stash and put them to good use again! In conjunction with that, we also have a sketch for you to use as inspiration for your creation and as always, you must also include a handmade item.

Lisette

Loved this challenge. Everything on my layout, except the photos, has been in my stash for a very long time - inlcuding the cardstock & paper. I have used buttons, brads, eyelets, wire, braid, pins rhinestones. I think the shells were from one of the first pack of embellies that I ever bought - many moons ago!. My handmade item is the flower. I put two flowers I received in a swap together. 

Amanda

Managed to somehow include all the abandoned items! Lol. 

Handmade item is the Gold vellum bow from Rainbow Splendour.

We hope these pages have inspired you to have a go at our challenge!
