Hello everyone,
I know I shouldn't be looking for more challenges because I am spending too much of my free time in my craft room, but when I stumbled across this site I couldn't resist!!
I love the idea of using up all my old stuff and with this in mind I pulled out some old Websters Pages paper and got cracking with their challenges. Why did I buy this stuff??? It's very pretty but not at all my style!!! I think I get caught up with what I see other people create and I fall in love with what they have done but can never do it myself! Anyway I did my best with it and here are the results:
A - Z Challenge: G is for.......Gentle Man :0)
My DH at the Winter Wonderland show in Hyde Park
 |
| Tim Holtz clock face and stickers are Websters Pages |
 |
| Heart die is Spellbinders |
 |
| Die is Spellbinders and the flower is an old Prima one |
 |
| I don;t know where the little fabric ticket came from, but it's super sweet :0) |
 |
| Letters are Pink Paislee and man is stamped with Sassafrass Lass alphabet. The die is Nellie Snellen. |
The sketch was from Page Maps
super eh?The next challenge is to use 3 hearts (hmmm I didn't notice the 3 when I did the layout!!!!), well it is February :0)
My layout is of DD#1 and her chap on his birthday. for some reason they was a big gap between them so I chopped it in two to get them closer together!
 |
| Mist is Tattered Angels Hot Pink Chalkboard |
 |
| Heart die is Spellbinders, stamp is Hero Arts, flowers and leaves are Prima, rolled flower is made by me! |
 |
| Hearts were stenciled through negative of die cuts with Jenny Bowlin Dabbers - Malted Milk, Cough Syrup and Chewing Gum. The little hearts were punched with a Tonic Studio punch |
I may get away with the challenge as I did put 3 hearts at the top of the layout, lol!! Anyway, it feels great to have used papers that have been collecting dust for sooo long! The rest is going to DD#2 so that she can create something pretty :0)
Thanks for stopping by,

These are both wonderful Ali! I love banners and you showed a very creative way to make them fresh! I also love the circle of hearts! I got thru streaks where I put hearts on every layout! This is also a fresh idea!
