March's trends challenge winner is....

Kim Ahern! Congratulations - you've won yourself a year's subscription to Up2Scrap!

We've got another amazing prize package to give away this month too... but first, here's your challenge from Elite Team member Delys Cram:

I’m really loving the curled edge trend at the moment... I think I’ve used it on all but one of my layouts recently... but the trend that has recently caught my eye lately is those curled paper scrolls that's been popping up all over the web.

The curling of paper is easy to do and looks so effective and softening to a Layout. It is suited to heritage, simple or textured styles. The curled paper scrolls are very easy to achieve too using the same technique of the paper curling. So how do you do it?

Cut your paper into squares, wet the whole of the square and then roll up carefully. Let dry...and thats all folks! Now I use a water or aquapainter to wet my double sided paper but you can just run a wet finger over your paper to wet it.

So this is such a easy way to make your own embellishments cheaply and will coordinate with your Layout beautifully!

And here is the sketch for you to have a go with for April using the scrolls as your trend.   

And now for the prize: this time you're in to win a 7gypsies Savannah 8 x 8” ringed board book with printed cover (RRP $28.99) plus Savannah French Ribbon (RRP $22.99). Did I hear you say yummo?

Have fun and don’t forget to link back to this post so we can all be inspired by your own creations.
