Challenge #5 ~ Color Challenge

I whipped up some samples for a Basic Grey Origins Layout class that I will be teaching at Macpherson's Crafts in St Marys. I must say that the papers weren't something I thought I would buy for myself. I tend to lean towards bright colors with lots of bling and glitter potential.

(If you live near St Marys and would like to sign up for the class this coming Friday, send me an email for info.)

BUT.... I just fell in love with this line. It is so lovely and elegant. The colors are so serene together. It worked with a few pics that I have been wanting to scrap.

This BG Class Kit allows you to make a 2 page layout and 2 single pages. What a great addition to my scrapbook!

Here are my two favorites. The first features Paige and is the Bloom and Grow page:



The second features a picture of my friend Michelle and I on New Years Eve. We attended a wedding of our friends Leah and Mark. They looked amazing.... congrats again to them.




Challenge: Use any of the colors featured in the Basic Grey Origins line as the main colors on your next card or layout. Email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for this months prize draw. A free kit of your choice from weScrap and a Chatterbox Denim Album!! Yummy!!

Due Date: January 31st

weScrap January Kit Reveal & Challenge #3

I have to say how much I love the January kit at weScrap. I love the vintage and Shabby Chic feel this kit has. The iTeam created some amazing layouts using this kit. iTeam Gallery

For a full kit description or for ordering details please click here: Wind Beneath My Wings Kit





The iTeam will be featuring more creations using this kit during the weScrap Crop:




Here is my favorite layout that I created using this kit. It features a wonderful photo of Emmy that my friend Sean Camp took. I used alot of ink and Glimmer Mist on this layout. I loved getting down and dirty for this one. I took a piece to patterned paper and misted it with water and then crumpled it up. I ran two different kinds of ink over it so the crack showed. I then sprayed it with Glimmer Mist. I also used Glimmer Mist on the Dollie. I also inked the edges of the cardstock to get that grungy look.

Quote Reads: " Thine eyes are springs in which serene and silent waters heaven is seen." ~William Cullen Bryant

Challenge: I would like to see a layout that is dirty and grungy. Fold, tear, rip or crumple your pages. You can add some subtle ink or alot. The degree of dirt is up to you. When you are done, email your creation to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for this months prize.

I have a great Chatterbox denim album and a kit of your choice from weScrap!!
