We have a new SCS Scraplift Challenge (Monthly Scraplift Challenge - September 2013 - SPLT13sep by Lmn at Splitcoaststampers.) My post followed Sharon's (sewflake) post in the challenge thread, so I got to lift a page from her gallery. Sharon is an awesome paper scrapper and there were SO many pages I flagged to lift. But when I came upon her page with the lighthouse in the background, I knew I wanted to use that page for inspiration for my page about Montauk Lighthouse.
I used several features from Sharon's page on mine:
-Used a photo of the Montauk Lighthouse for my background to resemble her bg paper;
-Border along top;-Matted my photo with blue;
-Added a mix of papers and ribbons, tags, etc. for the journaling;
-Title bottom right;
-Strip of horizontal ribbons and fibers where Sharon had the blue lines.
This really was fun! I know I'll be playing every month!
Journaling: "Our final stop before heading back to LynnÂ’s was the Lighthouse at Montauk Point, at the very easternmost tip of Long Island. Commissioned by George Washington, it was first lit in 1797. Because of its location, this lighthouse stood, to some extent, as the symbol of the New World for almost a century. In 1886 it was upstaged by the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor."
