We have an entry from another newbie....

Darlene Servolini - Home is Where
the Army sends Us



Hey there! I made a layout for Juno, and didn't know where to post on the blog (I don't see a Mr. Linky or the contact info posted on the sidebar of the blog?), so I decided to just e-mail you my attempt. I'm not sure if you will count this as Juno inspired, but I did do a handmade title (journaling strips in my handwriting) and used stripes on the house paper pieces. Thanks!

~Darlene~

Hi Darlene, your entry is so sweet, I love those little houses along the bottom. your title looks great made up of a mixture of journaling strips and printed words (Great idea!) Go to love a girls that journals!! lol A very eye catching page, well done!! - Shazza

Woohoo!! Who's next with the inspiration......

Libeeti - My Treasure


Hi Shazza!
Here is my lo for August challenge. I've made this lo about 4 month ago, and I hope it's okay to submit it to the challenge.
The photo is of my eldest, 4 days after he was born.
I dressed him up to get home from the hospital, and it's me & my mom holding him.
The title says in hebrew: "My Treasure", and I've made it out of used cereal box (my fav recycled product to work with... LOL), with acrylic paint. It took my long time to cut it out carefully...
And I used dp with stripes.
So I think I've covered all criteria, right?
Hugs,
Libeeti

Hey Libeeti! Yes, you have covered all the criteria for this challenge. Well done! You can submit older layouts, thats fine as long as they take the inspiration from the movie and you use most of the added criteria :) The blue flowers look fab and love how you also scallopped your buttons, great idea! - Shazza

Another fantastic layout from.........

Deb Clark - I See


Hi Shazza,
Please find attached my LO for Screen2Scrap this month,
with the inspiration being the movie poster for Juno.
I enjoyed working on this one, as I scrapped a piccie
of myself & my little bebe son playing our little game
in the mirror. My son is now 30!! But it is a good
quality photo, & a lot of photos of that era' were not
great quality.
I have used pp that has stripes of sorts on it, plus
cut paper & cardstock to resemble stripes, lots of
distressing too, handcut my title...now that
was interesting! Plus journalled in 'stripes' too.
Once again, thank you for the inspiration.
Cheers, Deb
Hi Deb! Love this layout for the Juno challenge, adorable
photo of you playing with your son. The spotty handcut
title looks fab and really suits perfectly! The pp is so
pretty! you must be happy how this turned out?
Thanks for joining us again this month Deb :)
- Cheers Shazza

Here is our next entry from.......

Faye Perata - Proud Papa


Here is my layout that I call Proud Papa! I had a lot of fun with this one. I think my favorite part is the green ribbon around the blue matt… I was thinking Paulie Bleeckers headband from the poster!!

Thanks for the fun!! Love this movie.... even if they did mess up the Morgan Freeman line :)
Faye

What a great entry this month Faye :) How cute are those baby pics hey!! I love the way you did your 'Proud' part of the title, that font looks fantastic. well done on the handmade title! It looks like you have covered everything with your stripey pp. Great work! - Cheers Shazza

Sherrie Plummer - This Equals These


Hi Shazza,
This is my entry into the Juno challenge. My son's girlfriend just gave birth to twins. So this was an easy one to work on. But getting it to lay out the way I wanted it was a bit of a challenge, had to think about this one. Have a great day!

Here ia a great take on the challenge from.......

Brenda Wyllie - New Baby Brother


Hello Shazza, here is my entry for this months Juno movie poster. I loved this challenge it was extremely inspiring!

New Baby Brother - I cut the title out of MDF using my scroll saw, painted it and lightly covered it with Kindy glitz.

The verse reads .......

A little bit of heaven
Drifted down from above -
A handful of happiness,
A heartful of love.
The mystery of life,
So sacred and sweet
The giver of joy
So deep and complete.
Precious and priceless,
So lovable, too
The world's sweetest miracle,
Baby boy, is you.

Brenda Wyllie

Great page for the challenge Brenda! Your pretty handy with the scroll saw, you title has turned out fantastic :) I have a similar photo of my two boys together. Love the added tag and those bears just add a cute addition, well done!! - Shazza

Here is our next entry from...

Annemaree - School Photo


Hey Shaz, heres my layout for the new Screen2Scrap challenge, I just used the stripes out of the bonuses listed.

Thanks!

Hi Annemaree! Well at least you used stripes! Is this a photo of you or your daughter? I love those school photos , I bet they are from ARthur Reed photography! lol Thanks for joining in, cheers
shazza

Thanks Shaz, thats me back in the day, 80's catholic uniform/potatoe sack ICK lol. - annemaeree

Yep, nothing flattering about those 80's uniforms, thats for sure!!! - Shazza

Look at this fantastic entry from....

Chantel Vandenberg - Lucy


Hi Shazza,

Here is my layout for this month's challenge based on the "Juno" movie poster. I was inspired by the whole graphic design aspect of the poster and used it like a sketch. Loved how it turned out. I used butterflies in place of the actors' names, and as you can see, I followed the poster pretty closely. :D I also included the extra criteria 1. Use a handmade title (I hand drew and cut this out - what a great technique - should do this way more often!!!), 2. Use stripes - I don't think I need to point out where they are... lol, 3. Scrap a pregnancy or new baby photo - I finally have scrapped these photos which are now over 7 years old of me holding my first daughter, Lucy. These photos have really come to life now and I love this page. Great challenge, Shazza! Thanks! :D


Chantel, I just love your work, everytime you send in an entry it has a bright and happy feel to it. I love what you have done here with your use of brights!! Love your hand made title it looks fab and loved how you followed this poster as a sketch :) Doesn't it make you feel good when you scrap some older photosand you get them into an album! Well done - Shazza

Here is our first entry for the 'Juno' challenge from....

Sarah Elliott - Pink

Well... I have procrastinated long enough.
I decided to scrap ALL the preggers pictures and get it over with.
If you look *real* close in the pictures, particularly Robert's,
I'm sure you can see orbiting satellites around my belly.
*sigh*
Ok, you can stop laughing at the pictures...
I covered the criteria:
1. Handmade Title: Check! PINK is hand cut, glimmer misted then inked.
2. Use stripes: Check! Pattern Paper background.
3. Preggo pictures a plenty: Check!
No seriously!
You can stop laughing at the pictures... now.
please?
LOL

lol, sorry I'm holding back the tears of laughter not at your pics but at your comment about the orbiting sattelites around your belly lol Your so funny Sarah!!! I think Amanda Taylor will appreciate your title as she is a mum of 6 boys!!!
Anyway back to the layout lol, glad you covered all the criteria Sarah , you've done well and I'm happy that you got to scrap all your preggers photos lol - Cheers shazza

Erika Martin (Stampin' Mama)


I'm Erika Martin and I live in Ferrisburg, VT, which is close to the Canadian border and right along Lake Champlain. I've been married to David for 12 years and have two children, Zach (10) and Elise (9). I'm a work-from-home mom as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, but also as a design team member for GinaK Designs, a reporter for Craft Critique and the Education Director for Paper Craft Planet. I love to teach and share my enthusiasm for paper crafts and all sorts of other crafting mediums through in-home classes, in my studio and also through online classes.


I've been rubber stamping for 8 1/2 years and scrapbooking for 12 1/2 years. Over the years, my art has taken on many different forms and has gone through many different phases and transformations. I've done display boards for a local craft store, worked there as a teacher and have been teaching my own classes for the last 8 years. I teach courses at an art school in southern Vermont during the summer, fall and winter seasons, as well as occasionaly teach Altered Books as an integrated art which creates a hands-on approach to traditional subjects in Vermont high schools and elementary schools. I have also appeared on quite a few craft segments for a local cable station.

One of my passions is creating commissioned work for people that enjoy what I do.

And, of course, I continue to work on my own personal scrapbooks, altered art, stamping and papercrafts.

You can find me on www.stampinmama.com

Our first DT submission comes from.......

Natalie Elphinstone - Sweet Lollipops

Dear Shazza

Here's my layout inspired by the Juno movie poster. I just love this movie! I took inspiration from the poster by scrapping a pregnancy photo of myself at about this time last year - and now my little girl is 8 months old already, how time flies! I also took inspiration from the stripes all across the background, and I've hand-drawn my title. Certainly you can see my banner obsession in full throttle on this layout!
xx
Natalie
