Over on Shimelle.com, Shimelle is running a weekend-long series of scrapbook challenges. (YAY!)
Here's Challenge Number 1: Use a Noelle Hyman flexible template.
Noelle's video is on Shimelle's page--watch that, then watch the video on Shimelle's take, then make your own page!
Super simple!
So this page is a bit out of my comfort zone.
Cuz I don't do purple, yo.
With that said, the page matched the color of the Thistle exactly. Seriously, in real life it really does match. ;-)
I made the tag by using a piece of the same pink paper under the photo, cutting the corners, punching a hole, and lightly stamping the floral image in Pumice Stone ink. I added a bit of bakers' twine too. That came out pretty cool, I must say. Heh heh. :-)
I used Noelle's template, but basically made an 8x12 layout on a 12x12 background.
And yes, I was that kid in kindergarten that refused to color inside the lines.
I also got into a few fights. But that's a story for another time....
Anywho. This challenge was challenging for me because I'm a layering kinda fool and I don't have many layers here.
And that's why they call it a challenge, my friend.
Play along with us, will you? It's fun! And you can color outside the lines!
But no fighting, eh?
Supplies:
Paper: GCD Studios (Margarita Collection: Morning Glory); KI Memories (Bloom); Dear Lizzy (Spring: Friendly Fern); Doodlebug Designs (paper strips)
Stamp: Stampendous (Agapanthus Cluster)
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Pumice Stone, Black Soot)
ETC: Dear Lizzy (letters--Fantastic); We R Memory Keepers (Fancy Floss: Marble); Crop-a-dile (corner rounder); Tonic (Ticket/Tag punch); Studio G (pink gems); Heidi Swapp (Tape Tears); Doodlebug Designs (floral washi)
Have a scrap happy weekend!!
