Pot'Pourri the 43rd Challenge

I loved this challenge because I had to really think about how to get all the items on the page in the correct order.  I stamped on the butterfly chipboard piece (grungeboard) and used some glimmer mist and an alphabet stencil in two corners, like you see above.  It adds a nice amount of texture on the page.  I used my scallop decorative scissors to cut the edge of one of the trim pieces and used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the other trim piece.  I am happy with how it all turned out.  Now, let's see yours!

52 Week Scrapbook Challenge Wrap Up!

I really need to "wrap up" this challenge so I'm posting the last ten challenges here all at one time.  As I finish each challenge I'll post the results.  Here they are:

1. (43) Pot’pourri (use the following items on a page at least once: letter stickers, rub-ons, punches, chipboard, stencils/masks, deco scissors,  ribbon, brads and stamps).

2.  (44) Using transparencies on a layout.

3.  (45) Go mega! (think really big for everything)

4. (46) Use charms and decorative pins on a page.

5.  (47) Decoupage on a page (Decoupage - the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf and so on)

6.  (48) Alter a photo, physically take a photo and scratch into it or paint on it or do whatever you think will create a fun focal point on your page.

7.  (49) Make a photo montage on a page.

8.  (50) Ric Rac and Scallops together on a page

9.  (51) Stamp on Patterned Paper (Use stamps on decorative patterned paper)

Challenge 41 is Wrap photos with string or ribbon and add a tag

I have to admit that it has been really hard staying the course with this challenge this summer.  And yet, here I go trudging forward.  Only 11 left to go.  It's also getting harder to decide on what to do for the challenges.  Any ideas?  If so, drop me a comment below this post.  Thanks.

Finally - I've finished Challenge 39 - A Day In Your Life page

I didn't have any photos to go along with this one so I improvised by using my Cricut and Gypsy to come up with different icons.  It was fun and surprising as to how close the images came to what I wanted them to stand for. So here it is:

Week 38 Challenge Results -

I have always wanted to use a photo developed at 12" on a 12 x 12 scrapbook page.  I took the photos below and ordered them in an 8 x 12 size from Costco and used them for my "anything goes" page(s).  They're simple and fun.  Thanks for coming by.

Finished with Challenge 33: Decorative Scissors

I never use decorative scissors, or maybe I shouldn't say that, I do use the Large and Small Deckle scissors from time to time, but the rest of them, never.   I made this page during our App & Scrap (Appetizers and Scrapbooking) Night and one of the other ladies was using them the same time I was.  And she rarely uses them also.  So it was funny to be passing them back and forth all night.  After we dusted them off of course.
Here's my page:

(I used CTMH paper in Juniper, Creme Brulee and Sorbet.

I usedCricut Cartridges Doodlecharms and Lyrical Letters)

Here's Nickel Nooks finished Decorative Scissors Challenge page!
