so, havn’t done a challenge in a while. this one was posted by maggie over on the mm blog and i thought i’d give it a go. the challenge was to use cardstock and paint.

i started with the white cardstock and knew i wanted to use those chipboard printed pieces … so that determined my paint colors. the polka-dots and the orange border were made using my foam stamps. maggie had done a layout about her husband so i figured i’d do one about joe … never done a layout about him before. is that sad? lol!

the rest of the layout just kindof happened. there was no plan to it. no design in my head. when i used the rubons for the title … i had to think of a short word since i didn’t have much space. so i’m not sure where i was going with the whole "you" thing. then i wanted to add some journaling … but didn’t know where to put it so that it blended with the rest of the layout. that ‘s why i went with just one sentence. short and sweet, right?
