Sense-ational Summer Comp

This is the third month of this six month competition with Soul Scrappers but we are only required to do one layout a month. Here are the 1st and 3rd challenges as I've only just realised I haven't taken a photo of the second challenge as that's when the computer crashed. Missed the points score on that one!

This comp is points scored and the highest total at the end of the comp wins the overall competition. There's also prizes for each section of the comp so you can jump in anytime to participate and have your go at being a winner.



The Smells of Summer (Challenge #1)

Compulsory item for this was the technique of stitching. I machine embroidered on some cloud fabric I had as I haven't machine stitched on paper or card before and thought I'd make a mess of it .Stitching through paper/card is not kind to your needles either. Bonus items for more points were using string, using ribbon, using a tag and 2 or more photos. I scored highest for best photo with these - thanks Mother Nature!

Journaling reads: "I love a storm coming in on a hot summer's day. You can smell the moisture in the air when the breeze blows and then when it does rain it's like the bush releases all it's aromas and suddenly it seems like you can smell every blade of grass, every tree and even the soil they are growing in all at once."

The Textures of Summer (Challenge #3)

Compulsory item for this one was distressing.  Bonus items were using a journal tag, staples, 3 different fonts in the title and ric-rac trim. This comp hasn't been judged yet.
