More updates of scrapbooking pages

More scrapbooking pages for you mum!! :-)

My first challenge!! Scrap with scraps!

As this is my first ever challenge over on Colorful Creations, I decided to do something that would also be a challenge to me! I sifted through lots of idea books and this is the one that really caught my eye.

I’d like to see you use all those left-over scraps of fabric. You can use them however you want, make a patchwork quilt effect, make them into flowers, cut out shapes for embellishments or borders, whatever your creative mind tells you!! 

I used my fabric scraps to make the flowers, cut out leaves and added a grass border. Hope you like it!

And here is the RAK you are all creating for a chance to win! It’s a Colorbok page kit ‘Summer fun’.

Remember, your entry must be new as of June 15th to enter and cannot be combined with any other CC Challenges! 

This is a stand-alone challenge for the month of June, so everyone who completes this one on time will be entered into the RAK drawing!!

There are 4 of these challenges a month, with a different guest designer each week. You must complete 2 of the 4 challenges in order to be eligible for a prize.
