SNOW DAY (Two Crafty Challenges)

At the Two Scrapbook Friends, for this post, I have done two crafty challenges.  I really am pleased with how my double page layout turned out.  

The two crafty challenges were from Amanda and Ann.  

Amanda challenged us to use an element page sheet.  It took me a while to go through my paper stash and surprisingly, I did find several pages.  

Ann challenged us to do some ombre.  At first, I did not know this word, ombre and here is the definition for it,  (having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark— ombré noun   (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ombre)  I thought that it was a COOL crafty challenge!!!! Something new and different for me!

Brothers are Fun!

At the Two Scrapbook Friends, there was a Back to School Lunch Menu Challenge.  There was a LONG LIST to choose for my own lunch box.

I chose:
Peanut butter sandwich = CIRCLES    
Apple  =   AT LEAST TWO FONTS
Banana muffin  =   AT LEAST THREE PATTERNS  I used three patterned paper and used navy blue and light blue eyelets as a pattern.
Fruit by the Foot =   METAL EMBELLISHMENT (I used metal buttons)
Water  =   GLOSSY ACCENT OR DISTRESS INK (only distress ink)

Also at the Two Scrapbook Friends, Jayne challenged us to do this crafty challenge: DIG OUT the brads or eyelets.  I have decided to go for the eyelets as I have too many of them!!  Also I thought that the eyelets are challenger than the brads....


Here is the double page layout together from the two challenges.


Supplies Used
Paper:  My Mind's Eye : Breaking Free
Cardstock: The Paper Company
Eyelets: Making Memories
Buttons: unknown
Font:   Basic Grey  Mini Mono Letter Stickers "Sugar Rush"
           unknown word stickers
Washi Tape: MME Indie Chic
Punch: Marvy Uchida

Simply Curious and Lil' Pet Zone (Crafty Challenges)

It sure felt good to be scrapping again!  I believe that I have not scrapped for more than 2 weeks.

Today I was able to complete two September crafty challenges for Two Scrapbook Friends!  The challenges were from  Sharlene (DT) and Jayne (DT).

Sharlene's challenge was to use THICKERS font letters.  Thickers letters are always EASY to work with and of course they are great for time saving!  Thank you Sharlene!



Jayne's challenge was to have a EXTREME White Space on a layout.  Here is mine...  Thank you Jayne!


Together the two challenges evolved into a double page layout for me.
