Ta Daaaaah!! Ali's Submission for August

At last Ali's first submission for the August challenge at From Screen 2 Scrap can now be uploaded after she has had weeks of computer problems! It must have been so frustrating, getting a new DT poisition and being unable to participate, but alls good as we now have her gorgeous layout to share and give you all some added inspiration.

Ali Coles - I love Elephants

This is what Ali had to say: For this page I used the heart from the poster as my main inspiration. As my computer was down I was limited to the photos in my camera and I chose this one of me feeding the elephant at the Zoo. It was amazing to get so close to such an awesome animal. I thought the poster was quite dark so I used dark colours and used the red to brighten things up a bit! I distressed the edge of the black card with blue acrylic paint and I used Die Cuts with a View Chip Chatter Glitzy chipboard letters. You can't see it on the photo but they are glittered! A few red heart buttons and red ribbon to add a bit of colour and chip board brackets from a QVC kit.
Torn paper - I tore the heart shape out of patterned paper
zig zag - Ric-rac ribbon frame around photo
Single photo - yep!

Well Ali, it was really worth the wait :)
The photo is fantastic, it just gives you a glimpse of whats happening and I love the way the elephant is stretching out his trunk to reach the food! It would have been a great experience! Love your colors and the "Elephant ' word font really suits the theme of the layout. The other DT girls are really going to love this...... from Shazza
