Design Team Assignment #6

I actually had this done some time ago---there's a first for everything! On this assignment we were allowed to use whatever products we wanted to again with some different challenges. I have to say, for me--I actually did leave my little box for a second! I actually used the sewing machine (which was one of our challenges)! I admit that this is not the best job, but I was able to hide some really ugly spots! Using ghost letters was another challenge and I used the Heidi Swapp Ghost Letters and alcohol inked them--another first for me! A third challenge was to create a layout using circles. For this I used Technique Tuesday chipboard, which is the best to paint by the way. I painted some and used Crystal Accents to give it a wet look, used Tim Holtz crackle paint on others and covered the large circles with paper from Creative Imaginations. The 4th and last challenged I did was to use about 3 to 4 different textures. In addition to the different textures of the chipboard, I also added beading along the side. The brads were compliments of my fellow DT member, Lisa Johnson, who happened to be scrapin at the store when I was working on this.

DT July Assignment

This time we were not given any particular products to use--we got to use whatever we wanted! I had originally wanted to silhouette a picture, but it didn't happen on this one, but it will show up before we are through with our term!! Still on my Disney high (and since I have hundreds of pictures not even printed yet) I thought I'd use the "photo shoot" from Regan's Bippidi Boppidi
Boutique visit. I used Basic Gray "Euphoria" line--love the colors! One of the challenges was to use stamping to create a background. I got the Maya Road Royalty Crowns and used them as a stamp and then an embellishment. Another of the challenges was to use 5 different products from 5 different manufacturers. For the scallop trim I used the Bazill Borders in white, the title is the Basic Gray "Wilma" letters (my favorite), the pink and white flower brads are from the Doodlebug Boutique Brads in Cupcake, the "smile" chipboard is from Inqueboard Chipboard Accents w/ Crystal Effects added. And the one challenge that I included but may be pushing it is that we had to use something we hadn't in 3 or more years. Well, considering that I had just "cleaned" house and sold all of my old items at Janet's garage sale, I really didn't have anything. I was reading my Scrapbooks Etc magazine and they used a "shrinkable" material as an embellishment. I decided to try it, so I dug out the kids Shrinkydinks and made a slide for the ribbon to go through. It came out a little smaller than I hoped, but I thought it was different and I got to title it however I wanted!
