SAM Challenge - Olivia

Its challenge time at Stampamemory - this time you are challenged to scrap a photo that is more than 10 years old - not such a problem when you are as behind with your scrapbooking as I am :)

Olivia was almost three when we had this photo taken.  A local photographer asked us if he could take Olivia's photo for a Kodak competition - it wasn't the winning pose but we did get to keep about 50 proofs and her photo hung in the shop window forever and a day.

I've used Sunny Garden DSP - such a lovely pack of paper - perfectly co-ordinated with the In-Colours - oh and the Cottage Garden stamp set.  After placing all the pieces I stamped the outlined flower and cut around - using In-Colour brads for the centres.

Can you spot the one of the new punches from the Autumn Winter Mini?  It's brilliant - fits well with Oval punches too - I think this will be a popular punch for this mini.

There are a series of carry over products from the Summer Mini including the Lattice embossing folder - so I've cut the alphas out and then run them through the folder to create the title 2 Cute.


So now it is your turn - dig through your old photos and see what you are inspired to create - don't forget to post a link to your blog or send a photo to one of us and we will upload it for you.


Happy scrapping!

Oh, how adorable! Y'know, I just had this paper pack out last night, trying hard to make something with it but just couldn't get it to 'work'. It's perfect for this layout, Nikki; nice job.
