WOW - Have we got a challenge for you this month - over at the SCRAP OUR STASH BLOG!!
This month's Golden Globe Challenge is to create a GRID layout - and use a TRANSPARENCY or VELLUM on you page!! Please head over to the SCRAP OUR STASH BLOG - for full challenge details, inspiration from the rest of our awesome Design Team, and PRIZE info too!
I sure do love a good challenge and this certainly was one for me!! If you've seen my previous layouts - you know that I like to use lots of "STUFF" and lots of layers. I felt a bit worried as to how I was going to handle the "grid" requirement of this challenge. Well, I have to say - I really like how this came out, and I had lots of fun with this challenge! I encourage you to give it a try and play along with us!

| I used photos from our 2012 Disney Wonder Cruise to Hawaii to celebrate out 30th Anniversary. For the added "Transparency" requirement, I used an acetate overlay from the Kaisercraft Tropicana Collection. |
Here are some close ups for you:
 |
| I added a piece of fishnet between the base page and the matching acetate overlay. I then glued various embellishments to the top of the overlay - seaglass, flowers and seashells gave the layout more depth and texture. |
 |
| I have had this palm tree sticker forever! I think it finally found the perfect home on this layout! |
 |
| Here we are standing on a black sand beach - with shirts on that our cruise group had made. - It was a truly a vacation to remember! |
 |
| I added a journaling card as part of the grid elements - and since it was a Disney cruise - I had to add the cute little pink Mickey head! |
 |
| I love the little pink embellishment flowers - and I especially love the photos of the beautiful hibiscus too! Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you join us for this challenge over at the Scrap Our Stash Blog! ((HUGS)) ~ Sherri

ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the challenge, Sherri. I love how you used that tropical themed acetate overlay; how you placed the netting under it, and the photos and embellishments on top of it. Really neat. The little seashells are perfect for this layout, and I love how you found embellishments to match the seafoam green and pink of your shirts. Beautiful photos. We visited Maui a few years ago, and just like you, I have all kinds of pictures of the wonderful flowers they have there. Thank you for sharing.
