Recipe for a Layout

This week I have a layout challenge posted on the Scrapping Turtle forum. I gave an ingredient list of scrappy items needed to create a layout.

Base ingredients (these are the must haves):

1. Cardstock

2. Patterned Paper

3. Stitching (any type, can be already stitched or done by you)

4. Flowers (minimum of two)

5. Packaging from some type of scrappy item

6. Bling

Mix the above ingredients together into a pleasing arrangement. Add adhesive. Season (embellish with other items not on the list) as needed or desired.

Serve and enjoy :)

The patterned paper I selected already fulfilled a couple of the ingredients -- patterned paper, flowers and stitching. That was a lucky break LOL I used cardstock to mat my photo and my journaling block. I used a section of Prima packaging for my journaling block and added bling to the centres of each of the flowers.

The photo on my layout was taken in June 2009 by the extremely talented Kim Munro.

Cheer Up

Ever been challenged to use something "fuzzy" on a layout?

One of our challenges this week for The Scrapping Nook's Summerfest was called "Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Bear". We were required to use something fuzzy on our projects. The Prima flamingo was sitting on my work table because I honestly had no idea what I was going to do with it. I'd purchased it on an impulse buy when I was shopping for pink things and I didn't end up using it. So there it was and on went the light bulb --- it is fuzzy!!!! Couple it with this photo of Sara showing her 'attitude' side and I had the beginnings of a layout. I used my Quickutz Revolution and my Cloud border die, my Smiley Face die, and my Speech Bubble die. I fringed the grass to add a little bit more texture (not sure if that qualifies as "fuzzy" or not). 

Good thing it wasn't long before Sara did :Cheer up and put on a happy face".
