ATC Challenge - July

Past the halfway point, and but not quite managing to keep up this month. These are my creations for the July Scrapping Clearly 2025 ATC Challenge - 

Week 27 ~ Art Deco
I used papers from Graphic 45 and some vintage lace from my habby stash.

Week 28 ~ Self-Portrait
I used a free avatar app to make my self-portrait, and decorated with bits and pieces from my stash.  The sentiment is from a Heidi Swapp sticker book.

Lots of smiles

This page was inspired by the Soul Scrappers July Colour Board with added criteria - fussy cutting. I fussy-cut the ferris wheel from a journal card {Simple Stories Say Cheese Main Street collection}.

Stay Wild

Inspired by, and sharing at::

* Life is Art ~ Explore Japan Online Crop

* Park Hopping My Happy Place ~ Jungle
I scrapped a forest theme, using lots of green tones.

* Creative Chaos ~ Fun in the Sun #1
My take on the starburst design - dimensions were scaled to suit my 8x8 layout size (and the size of my paper scraps)

Thirsty Cockatoos

Making more progress on the LDST album, with another two pages done. Not exactly a double layout because they are quite different designs, but more like companion pages with the same theme and similar elements.

This is the left hand page -

This layout was inspired by the Soul Scrappers July Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I used prompts from the diagonal column:

PEN {Doodled borders with my trusty Staedler Triplus Fineliner - Chocolate Brown}
KRAFT 
WASHI {wide washi tape Tags strip}

===================================

This is the right hand page -

The page design was inspired by the Soul Scrappers July sketch challenge.

A land of sweeping plains

Sharing at:

* Scrap Challenge YOUrself ~ Patriotic mood board

Photo taken in outback Queensland - on a bush track somewhere between Winton and Old Cork. Non-Australian friends may not recognise the title reference - it is a line from Dorothea Mackellar's beautiful and iconic poem, My Country. The second stanza in particular, is the most well-known, and most quoted. I used mostly Australian scrapbooking papers to make my layout {Cocoa Vanilla and Kaisercraft}.

* Simon Says Monday ~ Red, white and blue

Piggies

I'm sharing this layout at Soul Scrappers for the July One Word challenge, featuring the letter P for Piggies. I rummaged through my old alphas to make the title {American Crafts Thickers - Marquise pearl letter stickers}.
