made this nice layout, here:
went to link it up, and saw this----the extra twist on the challenge---complete with silver and blue!!!
AARGH and double AARGH! There actually is a lot of blue, but other than a flake or two in my stickles, no silver.
Sigh.
I was so proud of myself, because I haven't gotten my rear in gear to do a S.T. challenge in awhile. I was even prouder because one of my New Year's resolutions is to use the material I have, and I used stamps on this layout (the two green half circles on either side). Those of you who know me know I have a massive collection of stamps that are almost never used!
Here are a couple of close ups:
This shows the stamped image that I stickled a bit better. I made the pink flower, which was actually a mistake but I couldn't bear to throw it out, so I tinkered with it a bit. I'm not gonna explain too much as I am thinking of doing a similar tutorial over at ScrapFIT.
Also, I just wanted to show you how I added the dots with my SewEasy tool .
Thanks for listening to my ranting and raving and for stopping by. I guess next time, I better read before I craft, huh?
I think your layout is beautiful! I have done the same thing with challenges. But just think of the amazing layout you did! Love what you did with the SewEasy. I was thinking of getting one. Have an awesome day!
