MY LAST GUEST DT LAYOUT FOR CRAFT HOARDERS ANONYMOUS CHALLENGE BLOG - USA



This is my last layout for my Guest Dt spot over at Craft Hoarders Anonymous challenge blog America!
I had so much fun with this sketch and the criteria!



Challenge #6 Sketch Challenge, with a Twist
Use the sketch below as inspiration for creating your project. You can modify the sketch to create a card, scrapbook layout, altered canvas, mini book cover, and so on. Now, for the TWIST! You must search your hoard and find one item that is OLD and one item that is NEW and use them BOTH on your project. Show us how you combine older items from your stash with something recently purchased.


Here is the sketch!











THIS LAYOUT HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION





I used white cardstock, Derivan Gesso from Molossi, Micador watercolour paint in hot pink, water spray, Pilot Permaball Ink Black pen, Something old is small pink skeleton leaf from my stash, white crochet cotton, Something old is hot pink and black feathers (from my stash) and Flair from A Piece of Cake Designs.  Something new is Hazel and Ruby wide quote washi tape used as background.

A huge thank you to Gloria for inviting me to join in as Guest DT for April.

I would love to see you all join in on this sketch!

LAYOUT USING MANORHOUSE FRAMES AND WASHI!

I took this photo of Miss Ella last week and I knew exactly how I would go about creating a simple portrait style layout to suit the photo.
I used Manorhouse Black Frames from Molossi, Micador grey and black watercolour paints, Washi tape from Molossi.
I love how it turned out!

Oh, I used something other than white cardstock !! Makes a nice change.

I AM ONE OF APRIL'S GUEST DESIGNERS AT CRAFT HOARDERS ANONYMOUS CHALLENGE BLOG IN AMERICA!

Hi there! 
I am thrilled to be one of the April Guest Designers at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog!




This is Challenge #5  "Pick a Stamp, Any Stamp for Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog 
 You don't have to be a card maker to hoard stamps! With the popularity of pocket-style scrapbooking (Project Life and Photo Freedom) and the explosion of journaling stamps on the market, many scrapbookers have also become stamp hoarders. Digital stamps are more popular than ever. I am sure that most of us have at least one stamp in our stash! You may "collect" wood mounted stamps, clear stamps, cling rubber, or even digital stamps! Get one out, dust it off, and make it the STAR of your project! We want to see a stamp (sentiment, word art, image, etc.) on your project! Feel free to use more than one stamp, but you must have AT LEAST ONE stamped item on your project. 


Here is my project!








Make sure you visit the Guest Designers and the Design Team to see what they have to share!


I used sequins, Technique Tuesday stamps, Studio Calico wood veneer stars, Micador Watercolour Paints, Pilot permaball black pen.



 Thanks for visiting!
