Here is a page that I used scraps to create. The wheel is part of Guiding Light from Gina K. This page uses Stamp TV's Scrapbook Challenge.
I usually avoid color challenges because I seem to have a hard time finding paper to match the colors chosen. It is not like I don't have enough paper to choose from but it seems that I can't find the right colors in time. I used this new stamp from Sweet Pea Stamps called
This weeks challenge for Gingersnap Creations is to use buttons. I made my own using Silver Lustre and my Big Shot. I threaded them with twine. The base is the yummy Laser Gold Glossy Lustre. With using this paper, it makes for a quick scrapbook page. The lighthouse is from Guiding Light from Gina K. Designs. I used Distress Stickles Corduroy for the "sand". The photo and journal box are framed with Nero Incandescent.
I used My Sketch World's LO sketch challenge. The title & year is grungeboard covered with Faded Blue Jean Distress Paint and covered with Mermaid Stickles. This is a picture of my niece and nephew. The DP is one I got from Current.
Ok, I think this is a first for me. I got an event scrapbooked a week after the event. The challenge for this week for Scrap & Stamp was Halloween. The ghost journal box is a digi from Stamping Boutique. I added different stickles to color the ghost. The papers are unknown. I inked the edges of the photo blocks with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. I had planned to get this page done early in the week but I got started on Christmas projects and forgot about this challenge just this afternoon. The top notes were already cute from a different project where I used the frame. The ribbons are from Michaels.
