we're back with our challenge … decided to give ourselves an extra week on this since we were all a little busy. this week mary and i invited wendy sue anderson to join us in our challenge. and what do we have going this time?
1. basic grey paper – something mary and i both seem to collect, but rarely use
2. rick rack – i use lots of ribbon, but not always my rick rack
3. metal – it's crazy how much metal i have laying aound
4. stiching - i'm not a sewer on my layouts … i secretly want to be, but i'm not … so i love my rubon stiches
make sure and check out mary's blog for her layout … and wendy's blog for her layout. we've decided to just post our own layouts on our blogs … and then you can go check out the other's on their blogs. makes less typing for all of us!
here is my layout. i actually started this as a lift of this layout by sarah klemish … which i then realized was a lift of a layout by lisa truesdell. knew there was a reason it kept catching my eye! i had just gotten back from utah … and needed something to use as inspriation … to jumpstart my creative mojo again. so i give them both credit for getting the basic parts of my page started!
i started by printing out a few pics from last christmas. i wanted to do a simple layout about the simple way we decorate the house for the holidays. i matted them on white cardstock … and then pop-dotted the entire thing on my layout. the papers are all from basic grey … i think it was last years christmas collections.
for the metal … i choose some older bookplates from making memories. i actually attached them with a needle and thread … more work that you'll usually see me do. lol! i backed each with a scrap of white cardstock … and used some tiny alpha stickers to add a few descriptive words.
then i added my rick rack … along with some ribbon. i used chipboard letters for my title. and then added some other fun embellishments … foam glitter tree, paper snowflakes, shimmer brads, metal star brad, rub on stitching.
supplies:
pattern paper – basic grey
chipboard letters – heidi swapp
ribbon – american crafts
rickrack, foam tree, bookplates, metal brad, shimmer brads, snowflakes, stickers – making memories
