Day 25 40 Day Challenge WEAVING

I cut some strips of decorative paper and wove them together to make this fun background for the black die cuts.  I like how these pages turned out.  I never tried weaving like this before.

GREAT JOB RUTH!  I LOVE IT!

40 Day 24 Challenge LIQUID GLASS (glassy accents)

On these pages I used Jillibean for the base and Bella Blvd "Camped Out" for the cut out sentiments.  I liquid glassed the owls that were printed on the page and then I did the same to all the sentiments.  I liquid glassed the letters in "makin tracks".  I think I will go back and liquid glass the leaves on the trees too.

Day 23 40 Day Challenge CHIPBOARD

I started with the two photos, then went through my stash of chipboard and papers and came up with this layout.  I also used my cricut, sesame street font cart.  To color the plain chipboard pieces I colored them red with a copic marker then liquid glassed them. 

Some of the sketches really stump me, but once I get going the creative juices begin to flow.  I get inspired when I go through my stashes and think about what I want to use up.  Things that I've had forever it seems, jump out at me and say "use me"!  It's been fun!

Day 22 40 Day Challenge COLLAGE

Collage is my absolute favorite so this layout took me a little longer than usual and now I'm a day behind.  I'll try to get caught up again real soon.   Wednesday night is scrapbooking night with my friends here at my house, so I'll work to catch up then.  Anyway thanks for coming by.  SYS!

I'M HALFWAY THERE! 20 LAYOUTS FINISHED!

Day 21 40 Day Challenge DRY EMBOSS

I used my Scrap Boss by Fiskars for these pages, I haven't used that in a long time.  I really like how it turned out.  I used Basic Grey's Capella papers for this lo.  After I dry embossed the edges I sanded them a little to bring out the white core of this CTMH card stock.  TFCB!  (thanks for coming by)

Day 20 (HALF WAY THERE!!!) 40 Day Challenge HOMEMADE FLOWERS

With the myriads of choices for homemade flowers I chose to do some "lollipop" flowers.  I made them out of packaging paper.  I sprayed 4 different colors of glimmer mist on them to make them shine!  The second flower is made from silk paper, foam and cardboard with a star brad in the center.  I think they would look more like flowers had I drawn a stem with leaves.  (hankodesigns.com)

Cyndi's Challenge Pages

I was able to get some pics of Cyndi's pages that she has finished so far.  Well done Cyndi, I like what I see!  Thanks for sharing Cyn!

Home Decor - Made by Julie

Julie made this fun little canvas from scrapbooking materials.  I liked it so much I had to share it with you.  What do you think of it?  Isn't it adorable?

Day 19 40 Day Challenge GLIMMER MIST

These pages look much better in person, the camera really didn't pick up the background coloring with the glimmer mist. All in all I'm happy with how it turned out.  On to the next challenge.
