challenge time again! i think it's kind of funny that we always plan these challenges as soon as we finish the previous one. so we give ourselves two weeks. and yet, i think 90% of the time … both mary and i leave it until the night before. lol! love that we're both procrastinators like that … helps us understand each other! this time, we have lynn joining us … a very talented and cool scrapper. and i have to add (after reading her post) … she did actually invite herself to join our challenge this time. but we're glad she did … because we both love her work!
for this challenge, we came up with the following.
1. die cuts – could be regular die cuts or from a die cut machine
2. glitter – love the look, but am a little scared of the mess
3. scallops – oh, how i love scallops
4. the color pink – i was in a pinkish mood when we planned this
i didn't start this until last night. like i said, i'm a procrastinator. but i had the idea for the photo already … and for the large glitter chipboard letters. the rest just sort of came together on it's own … in a fairly short amount of time. love when that happens. i love the 12×12 scalloped cardstock from bazzill … i love taking an entire sheet and adhering it to cardstock. and i also grabbed a scalloped border diecut from bazzill to add to the middle of the layout.
when i got to the die cuts requirement … i took a little bit of time deciding. i was going to make my own die cuts using my slice … but was being too lazy to get it out (not that it's any work to get out!). i went rummaging through my baskets … and came across these journaling die cuts. and i didn't even notice this until right this very second … but those die cuts have scallops too. how cool of a choice was that? even if i had no idea at the time! i just accented the die cuts with some metal grommets and a few pearl accents.
and i did cheat a little on the glitter. i would love to get out my bottles of glitter … and some glue … and have at it. but the neat freak in me just couldn't do it. lol! i want so desperately to be a glitterer … but the mess scares me. so i went with some glitter chipboard letters. best of both worlds, right?
