1st July - Big Shapes

Today's challenge is to use a ...

 Big Shape; use a big shape on your layout, any shape you like, its up to you, as long as it's big!

Denise
I love to use big shapes. Today I tried this beautiful butterfly cutfile from Paige Taylor Evans and I want it to be the eye catcher of my page.

Hannah

I used a big circle with many little circles for this layout .Under this photo I use watercolor paper and number Stickers to decorate.

Helen
I have this huge stamp from Unity Stamps that I love but have always wondered how to use on a page, well this was just the challenge to make me have a go. So with some help from some embossing powder I used the stamp to make my background.

Lisa-Marie

I was determined that I would not use a 'regular' shape for this challenge, so I decided to use diamonds for my page.  I ended up using two of them to create this piece.

You have until 12tth August to join in with this month's challenges. Which shape will you pick? We would love to see! Just link up your layout to the side bar when you're finished.

Happy Scrapping!
