Week 10 - challenge 3!

Create a 12x12 or 8.5x11 layout. The layout must have:
* one only photograph, any size
* one only piece of pp, sized 6"x8"
* one only length of ribbon, at least 6" long
* one only embellishment (whether it is premade as is, or an embellishment you create by adhering smaller embellishments together, coherently - ie. NOT a cluster, but one piece)
* LOTS of 'white space' !!! That'll challenge most of you!! Mwahahaha!

A Sneak Peak!!!!!

WEEK 9 (challenge 1)

Week 9 - Using your scraps from the last eight weeks
create a double lay out .......

The Double Layout must include something from EACH of the eight manufacturers we have visited.
You may use new cardstock, to base your layouts on.
You MUST use at least ONE feature from the previous challenges:
* a clustering of embellishments from three different ranges
* use Patterned Paper ONLY
* use Bazzill as the basis for a handmade embellishment
* some random machine stitching
* title made using a random style
* an off the page accent added to your layout
* some form of dimensional product ie. 3D Foam, glue dots, etc
* use at least one item on your layout, that is not typically for scrapbooking!!!!



I decided to do a black and white layout, with hidden layouts inside, i thought using all the patterned papers from the other 8 weeks layouts together would make it look to busy!!!!! The little white tabs at the bottom move to the side to reveal the layouts... enjoy looking...

This is my finished product.....hope you like it
