OoH its so exciting isn't it. I love the Big Reveal part of our team scraplifting game! Lets take a look at the original layout that I created that got passed to all of your DT leaders.
There is a lot of detail in there and I hope that it challenged your teams well! Lets take a look and see what
Team One did with my layout.
Firstly Rosey scraplifted my original layout. You can see she basically flipped the basic sketch plan 90* clockwise. She used a portrait photo instead of a landscape one and folded the top right corner instead of the top left. She used tiny embellishments in place of the buttons, but kept the title with a mixture of fonts. Her layering of paper looks really cute and really highlights her photo. She has kept the rik rak, added some journalling and doodled with a white pen to create her border. I really love how Rosey copied my title. She used a song as did I to create a full effect.
When Rosey had completed her layout she passed her layout to Roulien. Roulien switched back to a portrait photograph, but kept her journalling in the same place on her layout that Rosey did. Instead of layering paper vertically down the page she layered some border stickers across the page instead. She used a couple of different fonts for her title but chose not to use the little cut out squares. She added some more journalling to the top right of her page. I particuarly love the wavy stitching Roulien has added to her page to create an adorable border.
Roulien's layout then got passed to Caroline to scraplift. Caroline really shook things up! She kept the horizontal photo and it's matting but moved it to the far right of her page. She kept a border below the photograph but shrunk it to fit under her photograph instead of trailing across the page. Caroline added a large circle behind her photo to draw your attention to the area and embellished with a beautiful blingy swirl and a flower. She used one font but I love how she made it follow the curve of the circle, it makes the edges of the layout so soft.
Caroline's layout then got passed to Lindsay to scraplift. Lindsay kept true to Carolines layout. She kept the circle, the horizontal photo, the matting and the title all in the same area. She used a different scalloped border and embellished with a heart and a flower which really complimented the patterned paper she used and indeed her photo too. I like the way Lindsay has stayed true to Caroline's layout but made it more central to the page, it seems to take up more space.
Lindsays layout then got passed to Tracy. Tracy once more kept true to Lindsays design but she jazzed it up with a scalloped circle instead of a round circle. She extended her patterned paper across the page a little further and god rid of the bling, instead adding a vintage feel flower border. She added some ribbon and buttons for texture and her title went across the page instead of around the circle. I particularly like how Tracy has used ribbon to create a lacy feel, vintage style border across her page rather than the scalloped edge.
Tracy's layout was then passed onto Mindy. I love how there are quirky coincidences as this team is progressing! Mindy made the scalloped circle back to a normal circle, but she made it much smaller, to ensure it fit inside the background matting paper. She used patterned paper for her background too and kept her title moving across the page, although she kept it to the right hand side of her page. Mindy has introduced the rik rak and buttons to embellish (just like the original page) but kept the ribbon as her border like Tracy did. I really like Mindy's choice of colours on this layout - everything is muted and blue then you get a real splash of colour with the buttons !
Mindy's layout was then passed onto Vikki to scraplift. Vikki mixed things up again - she cut the centre out of her circle making it more of a border, she extended the backing paper across the whole page and moved everything up to the top left of the page. She added some brads to the outside of the circle to draw your attention to the photograph and she switched her title to run down the page instead of across. She has used 2 different fonts like some of the original layouts. The white pen journalling has made a come back on Vikki's layout too. I think her embellishments are really cute and cleverly add to the Easter theme.
Finally, Vikki's layout was passed onto Carey to scraplift and everything changes again! Carey keeps the basic layout but adds a variety of different patterned papers to her page. Instead of the hollow circle border she has combined the scalloped circle with a normal circle to create a journalling spot which she has then embellished with some patterned paper. She has kept her title in the same place and used the two different fonts. She has taken the ribbon away though and replaced it with a paper border strip instead. She has then added a little journalling block another scalloped circle and a big flower. I think the combination of orange yellow and brown totally works for this photo and the accent of blue really picks the sky out of the photo too.
So, there we have it! Team one have finished! This is what the original layout looks like next to the final layout from team one. Can you spot the similarities and differences?
Come back later on for team two's big reveal!
