So DIstressed Out! challenge

Distressing is so hot right now in the scrapbooking world, and it's so much more fun than stressing! So how about using some distressing on this weeks LO! That's right, we'd like to see your LO with some distressing somewhere, could be a lot could be a little!

My layout is based on a sketch they provided.

Mix It Up Blog - Mixer #25

Mixer #25 was a color challenge -

You had to create a monochromatic layout

with the color white!

At first I thought this was going to be

very tough but as I started looking

through my stuff I was finding the

perfect goodies to use. I am VERY pleased with

this LO. I love it. I may even frame it

and hang it up. lol

The picture does not show it really well

but there is journaling on the strips.

It is very overcast and dreary here today so it

is hard to get a good picture. It looks so

much better IRL. ( You can click on the

picture for a close up)

My layout is based on a sketch they provided as well.

Put you in a cast challenge.

For this challenge you had to do

paper casting. A very cool technique

and my first time trying.

Fabulous instructions here.

My butterfly is a paper cast!

I'm not 100% happy with it but

I plan to try it again. :)

My layout is also based on a sketch provided.

Birthday card

A birthday card for my grandmother,

I decided to give the Tri-fold card a try.
