the challenge continues

8.01.2009


The blog hop continues from Willow Traders...today's creativity brought to you by the LEO challenge with the number 13. This is the 13th challenge of the every other day layouts. I have not played along the whole time, but I did jump in around the middle and have had a great time of being challenged to use up stash or think outside my little box.

This layout above is super-duper simple. The challenge was to use old stash. The cardstock is older than I can know. The photo is from 2007. And the middle piece was created using up the rest of a half used sheet of rub-ons from stampin up. I utilized those pieces to make a patterned paper of sorts. I will probably use that process again. Even though this piece did not totally finish up as I had visualized, for the most part it worked well, and I am after all attempting to embrace imperfection {snort}.

The layout is also based on one I saw that Celeste Smith has in her gallery at 2p's. I like her work and will probably be lifting more. Here's what she did...



enjoy your hopping!
