Deb Clark - So Fresh and Fun

Hi Shazza,
Well, I have enjoyed looking at the Screen 2 Scrap blog & thought I would join in..........
The woman in my life who I admire very, very much is my darling daughter. Using the red & green critera was a great colour combo, & had so much fun with this layout....bit of fabric, stitching,laces & bits & bobs, plus a little speech bubble saying 'whatevs', something Jade says & then laughs...& the laughing is what is important hey!
Thank you for the fab challenge. Cheers, Deb Clark

Hi Deb!

Here is my VEry,Very very late submission.....

Shazza Bishop - The Ring

hi Ladies!
So sorry my submission is late........better late than never :)
I'm really struggling to catch up on some layouts that I have fallen behind on. It's also very basic, red and green, green title and my fat tomato. The layout shows my mum and my daughter at my daughters 21st recently. My mother gave Jenna a ring given to my grandma when she turned 21 exactly 90 years ago. Mum got a bit emotional as my grandma has the patience of Jobe and was a loving caring woman and she said she hoped it instilled some of these beautiful qualities in my daughter by wearing the ring.......

We have a great entry today from .....

Robin Jenkins - Best Sister - Friends

Hi Shazza! I hope this is the right address to send this LO to you for the "Fried Green Tomatoes" inspiration poster. I immediately thought of my daughter, Temple and her BFF, Tatiana. These two girls have been fast friends since the moment they met more than 3 yrs ago. They are always plotting their sleepovers and outings, and they love each other like sisters! I also managed to showcase a tomato in the middle of the LO! Best regards, Robin

Hey Robin, Yep you sent it to the correct email address lol This has come up a treat, gorgeous and colorful! I love your hand made flowers you added, and the tag. Temple and Tatiana make gorgeous BFF's. Thanks for joining in this month, Well done! - Shazza

We have a layout from a newbie........

Irit Shalom - First Grader - "Wow" Haircut

HI!! MY FIRST TIME HERE AND THIS IS A LO I DID FOR THIS CHALLENGE: RED AND GREEN, GREEN TITLE- SORRY FOR NO TOMATO- BUT STILL THE CONCEPT IS OK. I DID THAI PAGE WITH MY DAUGHTER VERY OLD PHOTO AS A FIRST GRADER AND DID SOME CUTE ONE WORD JOURNALING TOO.. DONE WITH ALL MOM'S LOVE AND WAS VERY CHALLENGING AS I DECIDED TO USE MINIMUM EXTRAS ON THIS ONE.

HOPE YOU LIKE IT - IRIT SHALOM

Hey Irit, nice to see you here, with another gorgeous layout. I love the background pp you used on this page as it really suits your 'First Grader' theme. The red and white spotted pp really stands out against the background pp. Love 'Ortals' little bob haircut :) The red and green has come up well on this page. Great job of the challenge - Shazza

Have a look at this creative layout from..........

Sarah Elliott - A Family is a Patchwork of Love

I went with a sewing theme... the 1st Tomato thing I thought of was the infamous Tomato Pincushion. I um... did wound one in the making of this page.
I sliced it in 1/2 then attached it to the page along with a thimble, part of a measuring tape, buttons, thread, needle and... of course, some pins! ;O)
The background is 'patched' together out of Photos and Paper. The Stitching between the patches is Liquid Applique I let dry over night then heated to make it 'puff'.
ALL the title is Hand-Stitched (Can you say "owww!!!") with Green Plastic Canvas Wool and Red Embroidery Floss. I ran some lighter Green Paint over the Title to give it a little more 'pop'.
A Family is Patchwork of Love!!!

Oh Sarah!! there is so much work in this layout and how clever of you to put together a patch work theme. Love all the little sewing embellies you added. I love your hand stitched title, the layout has turned out fabulous.... You must be very pleased with the end result!
Great work - Shazza

We have another great layout from.......

Belinda Boyce - This is my Mum

HI Shazza

Heres my May entry. Lots of red with very little green! Just couldnt work anymore in!!! Green title and no tomato im afraid. Still had lots of fun with this one though. Thanks - Belinda Boyce

Great layout for this months challenge Belinda, I love all the red with just a touch of green! Nice photo of your mum :) I also love your single bloom, it's just the right embellie for the page. I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge. Good luck! - Shazza

Here is a Fab! entry from a newbie.........

Sonia Bowers - Love

Wow, this month's theme just suited me to a tea.....was so happy with it and jumped in and got creating.....it even shows of my New Flowers that I have created and stocking over at Forever Always I was totally in the RED and Green zone ....after watching Fried Green Tomatoes, with added Criteria if we scrapped an important woman in your life...who can be more important than my Mum and My Daughter - my inspirations.!!! Also had to include a green title, Yep got that one, and Green and Red as the feature colours yep and yep....and then the killer include a tomato on the page....well it's there - can you spot wally the tomato {it's a transparency} that's the clue and it even has some green leaves still on it too. But it is there.... - Sonia

What a great take on the challenge Sonia... I love those photos of your mum and daughter and what great embellishments you have used. Your red flower from your new flower range looks fantastic and is just perfect for the color combo theme.......... I'm loven those flowers!!! A great stand out page! - cheers Shazza

Here is an entry from last months winner!!

Cathy Cafun - Sisters

Shazza,

Here is my page for "Fried Green Tomatoes" May movie poster. The important woman in my life is my sister. This is a very rare photo as we both hate having our photo taken. I really love this pic as we both look happy. I managed all the criteria. I used teal green and red in beautiful Prima pp's and flowers. There is a tomatoe in amongst the flowers at the top of the page. Hard to see, but it's there and a teal green title. TFL - Cathy Cafun

Stunning page Cathy, I love the Prima pp you used its suits the color theme perfectly :) The photo of you and your sister is just beautiful and yes, you do both look happy! I can see your tomatoe at the top of the page, so all criteria met. Thanks for playing along again you've done a great job - Shazza

Today we have another entry from a newbie.....

Mary Steinmetz - Sisters

Hi Shazza,

Here is my layout, I If hope you like it.

It's so funny I have never seen this movie before, so what I did, I google the famous quotes, and here is what I came up with.

"I found out what the secret to life is Friends....Best Friends"

This is a picture of me (blue tank, yes I'm blonde in this picture.) with my 4 sisters taken the summer of 1990.

I'm am so close to my sisters it like a circle of friendship.

Have a great day. -MAry

Hey Mary! Of course I like it , you've done a great job, and followed the criteria to a tee.......I can see your tomatoe in the bottom L/H corner lol. A great theme to scrap to.........'you and your sisters'. You should grab a copy of the movie it's really a great flick!! Thanks for joining in and good luck when we do our voting at the end of the month. - Shazza

We have a layout from a newbie........

Cynthia Seguin - Sisters by Marriage

Hi Shazza,

My layout is of me and my sister-in-law Michelle. Neither one of us grew up with a sister (we had *ugh* brothers!), so we were happy to forge a sister-like friendship over the years since I started dating (and subsequently married) her brother.To fulfill the requirements:

My title has a green background and green lettering

My colours are predominantly red and green

I have a tiny green tomato ;)

Thanks for posting such a great challenge… I look forward to taking part in many more!

Warm regards, Cynthia

What a great page Cynthia. I love what you have done with this challenge. A great pic of you and your Sister-in-Law. I love all the swirls and flowers and your little tomatoe :)
Great work - Shazza

Heres another entry this time from....

Chantal Vandenberg - Mummy

Hi Shazza,
Here is my take on May's movie poster "Fried Green Tomatoes"; "Mummy".
As the theme is to scrap about an important woman in your life, I chose my Mum - and my page features a vintage photo of my Mum and I. For extra points I covered all the criteria - 1. Green Title, 2. Use Green and Red as "feature" colours, 3. Have a tomatoe on your page (note where the very hungry caterpillar is coming from...lol).
I think you can tell... I had a awesome fun time with this page!!! Thanks Shazza! Cheers, Chantal Vandenberg

Wow Chantal! This looks so cool and colorful, a real mixed media piece :) How cute is that catterpillar, and you have your tomatoe too! This is great! Cheers Shazza

We have a great entry today from .....

Jennifer Manis - Mom

Hi Shazza! I had fun with this month's challenge, and I love the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". My Mom is definitely the most important woman in my life, so I used this photo of her I have been wanting to scrap. I even found a tomato sticker! My layout is titled, 'Mom'. Thanks, Jennifer Manis

Great layout Jennifer for this months challenge. I can see the resemblance of you in your mom. Lucky finding a sticker to use on your layout, this has come together well. Great work - Shazza

Here is our second entry for the month......

Dale Tiernan - On the Menu

Hi Shazza, Here is my layout. I've got all the criteria. No teeny weeny tomatoes for me. The important woman is me. I take very seriously my role as food provider for my family. My eldest son (not the one in the pic) has serious food allergies. Eating out is no easy feat. Eating at a pizza restaurant is really a big deal. Kind regards, - Dale

Hey Dale, this looks fantastic, what a great page.....and I love your BIG tomatoe lol. I can understand the importance of being the food provider when someone in your family has food allergies, its not an easy task... I really admire you! Well done and thanks for your entry! Cheers Shazza

Here is out First entry for the month.....

Lisa Kamphuis - Dear Nana Flo

Hi babe
I was doing my blog checks this morning and saw your new May challege and I knew straight away who I wanted to scrap - my dear sweet nana who passed away when my eldest was just 1. I often think she is up there looking out for me. We had a special relationship with me being the first grandchild. Lucky me - she was a fabulous woman - Thanks, Lisa Kamphuis

Hey hun! lol
This is beautiful Lisa, I'm glad your Nana Flo was special to you, and you had a great relationship with her :) What a lovely photo of her watching your son playing. Love your cut out flowers and that bling swirl is just gorgeous. Thanks for playing along. Well done, Shazza
