Little Builder – Scrap Whispers challenge entry

26 Feb 2011 Comments Off

I created this layout for Challenge 88 on the Scrap Whispers site. It is a “Forgotten Treasures” challenge. Here’s what it says on the post: “This week is all about that forgotten stash you have hidden in the bottom of a dark drawer. Drag out something you’ve had for ages and just not managed to use despite maybe staring at it on a few occasions. Use it! Could be weird coloured ribbon, enormous stickers, ugly patterned die-cuts. Alter it if you like, just use it!”

Digging through my stash, I found this Creative Imaginations paper. I have no idea when it is from. All I know is that when I first started scrapping, I bought a huge lot of paper from someone who was getting rid of their stash since they were no longer into papercrafting. I figured it would be perfect for this challenge!

Here’s what I did with it:

Materials:

Creative Imaginations Marah Johnson paper
American Crafts green cardstock
Gold foil doily
Webster’s Pages Storytellers alphas
Sakura brush tip marker

Adhesive:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro PermaTac

Believe – Sketches in Thyme Challenge Entry

This is Alex Christmas 2008 (can you tell I’m still trying to get caught up on his scrapbook? ha!). The journaling reads “Christmas 2008. You were very into pirates and science that year along with transformers, legos & Indiana Jones.” Since I’m still playing catch-up, you’ll have to put up with at least one more Christmas layout and a couple of Halloween layouts in the next week or so!

This layout was created using a sketch for a challenge on Sketches in Thyme.

Materials:

Bo Bunny Noel paper pack
gold foil doily
Bo Bunny chipboard dimensional stickers
Fancy Pants stamp
Sakura brush tip marker
Archival ink

Adhesive:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro PermaTac
