Late night scrapping anyone????
Well here I am once again scrapping in the wee hours :) I was working on some DT assignments for A Scrappin' Friendsy - here is my layout for our March newsletter. I had to create a layout based on a "lucky" quote or saying. I was having trouble so I looked for some "lucky" songs & came upon some old-school Madonna lyrics :)
Here's a close-up:
This was a tough one - I usually buy paper from the same paper line when creating a layout but these were from 3 different lines - Love Elsie, DCWV, and Sassafrass Lass. I was a little intimidated because the papers were not the style I'd normally use but I really like how it all turned it - that is the great thing about having someone else choose the paper for you - it really makes you STRETCH yourself creatively - work outside your "comfort zone". The chipboard stars & letters are from Fancy Pants & the buttons from Autumn Leaves. I also used rub-ons from Basic Grey, TLC, Autumn Leaves, and Jo-Ann Craft Essentials.
Be sure to register over at A Scrappin' Friendsy for our weekend CyberCrop - it is going to be lots of fun - great challenges & all kinds of technique tutorials!!!
We currently have 4 AWESOME layouts in the gallery for this week's sketch. I know this one is a toughy (is that a word???) but remember challenging ourselves is what makes us better scrappers :) I am really amazed at what people came up with so far - great job ladies!! Can't wait to see more :)
Happy Tuesday!
