There is a new challenge blog. Craft Hoarders Anonymous. Does this have my name all over it???? The blog is hosted by the very talented Gloria Stengel. There is an extremely talented design teams so there's lots of inspiration. The first challenge is to do a project that showcases your style. Hmmmmmm... I tend to be all over the place so that was a tough question for me. I looked at past things I have done and then tried to pick out what were the similarities of the ones I like best. So I discovered that I really like texture on a layout. I love flowers! And the other constant is ribbon...... So now I started hitting the stash....
I found this picture from January 2007. Step one. This is my mom, Great Grandma Frances meeting Emme for the first time. Olivia is busy being the proud big sister. I had a bit of difficulty finding paper as everything made Moms jacket pop...lol. I settled on this Authentique lively. I was working on it when I remembered back when I first started crafting and had no idea what supplies I wanted and needed, I bought the brown, pink and green brads as one of my very first purchases.So I really could not have dug much further back. While I was looking through the container with the brads I found the charm.... I have quite a few that have been given me and this is the first time I have ever used one!! So happy. And the tulle was actually the newest addition to my stash as I bought it to make decorations for a baby shower a few weeks ago!
I used this sketch from Tammi Bennett
