Distressed Scrapper

I FINALLY get to share my BIG NEWS!!! My incredibly talented bestie and her fabulous hubby have started their own laser cut chipboard company and I get to design for them!!! Creative Embellishments is having a GRAND OPENING SALE and GIVEAWAY, so be sure to check out the details on my next blog post. Links to the store and blog will be provided 😀

To start off, this is the super stuffed, simply AMAZING DT KIT they sent me to work with:

These chippies are wonderfully detailed, high quality and so much fun to alter! Aren’t they FANTASTIC?!!

Creative Embellishments will also be offering fun and inspiring monthly challenges and facebook giveaways, which gives you lots of opportunities WIN some of these gorgeous chippies to create with as well! 😀

Entering the September challenge is easy! Simply create a layout, canvas, mini album, card, tag or altered piece (really anything you want!) using a nautical theme, which is very trendy right now. You do NOT need to use CE products or any chipboard for that matter in order to enter this challenge and it’s open to everyone, everywhere! 😀 Entries must be received by 11:59 pm on the last day of the month in order to qualify for the $20 store gift card prize.

This is my example for the challenge with some close ups and my first creation for CE. I was also inspired by the gorgeous sketch by Alda Stevens for the Flying Unicorn Forum’s Monday Mojo Sketch Challenge:
