Sue's Theme Challenge

For my challenge this month, I couldn't go past the fact that (here in Australia) this Sunday we celebrate Fathers Day. So yes, you guessed it - we are going with a MASCULINE THEME!

You don't necessarily have to scrap about your dad, but you do need to scrap a layout about an important ADULT male in your life. This could be anyone - granddad / dad / uncle / hubby / adult son...heck, even the postie if he's that important to you! LOL Just no "little boy" layouts!

In addition to that, I would also like you to include:
- at least one "non scrap" item and
- at least one button

Here is my sample layout for you...



Entries for this challenge will need to be uploaded to the gallery by midnight, 30th September.

The winner of this challenge will receive a prize pack from....Lovelybug Bits n Bobs (AKA...ME!!!!!) (DEFINITELY worth scrapping for, wouldn't you say? )
If you haven't seen the full range of products available, pop over HERE and check them out!

Great LO Sue- and a great prize too.

Oh my!!! FABULOUS page Sue!!!! Love the use of the pocket!!! Will get my thinking cap on

Just a question but what would non scrap item fall in to?
cause im not to sure

A 'non scrap' item would be any item that is not considered a traditional scrapping embellishment. Think stationery items, recycled packaging materials, items from the garage, etc....just think outside the square!!!

(You can see on my layout I have used a jeans pocket and also a bulldog clip.)

cool
thanks

Awesome challenge Sue and i love your example!!

Just to clarify, can we scrap the kids with the important male??

If they're adult kids you can!

Otherwise, it's a kid-free zone this month!!! :twisted:

No probs, just wanted to check!! Will be a good opportunity to dig out some pics of Matt cos i never get around to scrapping anything about him!!

Awesome challenge Sue. Love that jeans pocket

I've already told you how much I love this but I'll tell you again

Oh I like this challenge! I love your layout! Its awesome!

Love love love that LO Sue! And the challenge too!

Love this challenge! My sons call me the trash-picker for grabbing items that should be thrown away for use on my LOs! I love the fact that our seasons and holidays are the opposite of yours because it makes for a wonderful change of pace. It is the beginning of our Fall and our Father's Day is the 3rd Sunday in June! BTW, Sue, I love the recycled items you used. Great example!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
My LO was actually inspired by one I saw done recently. (If you pop over to my blog, there is a link to it there.)

I can't wait to see some interesting items on everyone's layouts!!!

Great LO Sue, I love it and the challenge!

This looks awesome Sue!!! I love the use of the denim pocket

Thanks for the lovely comments everyone!
PS - make sure you take plenty of pics of your "important adult male" today if you get a chance, they will be perfect to scrap for this challenge! (And remember to keep the kids out of the photo!)

Hehehe - we are getting together today and the camera is most certainly coming along.

So is my family Anthea

So, did anyone get any decent pics for this challenge on Fathers Day??? Or has anyone made a start on this chall?

I didn't get any pics of Matt on his own on father's day, just some of him laying on the couch with Jorja and Emma (Bj was in the bath)!

I do have a photo of him in mind for this challenge tho, just have to print it off when i go to town tomorrow!

I took some fab pics for this challenge

My subject if my oldest son. I used buttons on the strip journaling. My non-scrapping items are a piece of corrugated cardboard and a paint sample strip from Dutch Boy paints under my title.
