Saturday Scraplift: Grit and Grunge

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Scraplift! Today’s page comes from the scraplift chain so thanks to Merrilee for the original page and to Candy (cnewby) for this week’s inspiration. 🙂

I love a little grunge on a page and this one really captured my eye with the soft grungy background and the chain link fence. Even the floral brush looks a bit grungy and I think it’s the perfect accent for a tough game face.

Up first this week is Linda (earlofoxford) with a sweet Mother’s day page. Linda kept with the overall design of the page. I love how she used similar elements but placed them differently and then framed out her page with a solid color to anchor it.

Rachel (rache77) is up next with a sweet page of her little dude building with legos. Love the perspective of this photo and how she used paint brushes in various colors to grunge up the background.

Sherry (digi371) used classic vintage papers and photo strips for her grungy page celebrating her granddaugther’s graduation. Love the photo strips as design elements.
