July 2012 - Surprise Me! -Border Challenge

[JeepDiva]

I like the border challenge, it definitely makes me think out of my little comfort zone.
Here's mine, I used the fairies for my element, but I didn't like the look off all one color . . .

Here is my entry. I scrapped my niece Sarah and my great niece Abagail. I used the kit Our Life in a Year-May by Adriana's Kitchen.

Wow! While I have been busy finishing up my kit Honeysuckle & Honeybees, you ladies have been VERY busy! These borders are great! I love the variety of design and the different visions you have each had. The photos you have chosen to use are great too! I am off to the gallery to get a closer look! Thank you for joining in this challenge!

This is darling! I recognized Christine's new kit immediately! Super cute scene you created in your border! Love that you made it horizontal, under the photo! Great contribution!

I really love this border challenge and would like to see it as a regular monthly challenge. Thank you so much for hosting it.

I have made a layout:

I used the border in the kit to make a frame as the frame included in the kit was a little heavy.

Whoops, just noticed - I didn't add stitching or greenery. I'll correct it and add a new layout.

Here is my revised layout including the greenery and stitching.

Karen, thank you for using UTACH for this adorable LO. LOVE the nails! Cyndi - what a neat way to get your "border" requirement completed. Very unique and I love it! Twizzle - super cute LO and love your "recovery" with the stitches and where you placed the greenery! Dona, beautiful layout. Love the rustic vintage feel for this particular photo. Beautiful border and perfect for the layout. Thanks to all for your participation and your comments about wanting to see this challenge continue. Done.
