Scrapbooking with woodgrain
It’s 8pm so it’s time for another party challenge all about one of my favourite design motifs: woodgrain!
This layout isn’t brand new but it’s one of my recent favourites and it features woodgrain letter stickers and fabric strips from Studio Calico.
Your challenge this time is a little different — it’s not actually to use woodgrain but to use this layout as a sketch. Use a big picture if you want — or you can replace that with patterned paper and arrange standard sized prints over the top. Maybe just use the title portion as the sketch – that’s my favourite part of the page!
Of course… bonus points if you use woodgrain in your layout! Well, imaginary bonus points because we’re not counting but you know…woodgrain! It’s lovely! Is there need for further justification?
Oh, and how about another movie tune for our party soundtrack? Here you go!
This challenge: make something based on the design of the layout above — however you would like to interpret it. Then take a picture, post it online in a gallery or on your blog and leave a comment here with a link.
One project will be randomly chosen to win a prize package filled with woodgrain themed scrapbook supplies. You can enter until 6am UK time on Monday 19th April.

My attempt is here. It isn’t a very loyal scraplift as I find sketches extremely difficult. It does feature a woodgrain tag though. There’s another confession on my blog
17 April 2010, 09:12
Wonderful sketch!! Had lots of fun with this one! Here is my take: sketch challenge
17 April 2010, 09:30
Here’s my attempt! Actually scraplifted a card and turned it upside down – smaller piece of paper to the top.
17 April 2010, 09:50
Here is mine.
However, I don’t do woodgrain so I just used the LO for inspiration.

Finally the heart is dry and I could finish the page – take a look HERE

Loved this Shimelle. I remembered an old wiggly wood kit that had woodgrain tags in it and went for overkill and used them all. LOL.

Sorry that I couldn’t manage any woodgrain (I only have a short piece of ribbon with that pattern!) but here’s my version of the ‘sketch’: http://ispeakmelsh.blogspot.com/2010/04/party-on-and-on.html
17 April 2010, 14:36
I am not a woodgrain fan but I had a go at including it anyway :) Here’s my LO showing my puppy’s first walk.

Here is my scraplift :
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/323824-scrappycarrie/1616856-scraplift-and-woodgrain/
I don’t have any woodgrain letters so used Wordart and filled in the letters with oak woodgrain texture. I then printed it out onto acetate.

Beautiful LO, so many pretty touches & I love that your journaling is on the photo. I don’t often use larger photos & really enjoyed using a special one I had saved away on this LO:

Layout (click here)
My liftis far off and doesn’t look like the original except for the background being wood grain, the cluster where the title is and my photo is where the journalling went.

I don’t really have any woodgrain, so I used the layout as insiration. I’ve never scrapped a photo this large before, but it was fun!

Oh my, woodgrain. One of my faves too. Here’s mine. The paper has a subtle embossed woodgrain effect and the letters and numbers are woodgrain too!
18 April 2010, 18:49
This is an unusual ration for me, but I happened to have just the thing in my “to scrap” pile. Here you go: [Open in new window]

Woodgrain – I agree, it’s just gorgeous!

I love Studio Calico! This layout doesn’t use any SC though…
18 April 2010, 22:46
Awesome challenge! You can see my layout HERE. It is titled, “Go”.

Imagine a photograph that is taken of a piece of natural grain and then placed on a transfer material. To create the wood grain effect, a coat of powder is applied to a metal substrate and then semi-baked. When cool, the wood grain transfer is applied and a vacuum is used to remove any air entrapped between the powder and the transfer. Once this step is completed, a final bake of the combined system is performed to ensure the perfect fuse of decorative coating. The dye on the transfer volatilizes and forms the grain as a substantial part of the powder film. The end result is a custom finish coating.
