Joy - 123 Challenge

Oh, how I loved this challenge!  123 Challenge does a great job of putting together their challenges!  This time around, they have:

* COLOUR = METALLICS
* WORD = JOY
* TECHNIQUE = BOWS

 

 

 

 

I have these fabulous silver sequin bows that I had every intention of using, but when I started to go through my papers, this red and yellow really jumped out at me.  It ended up being a bit more muted than I wanted.

 

Needless to say, the silver bows just didn't match.  There is a bow on my page, but it is very small and made from baker's twine.

 

So, to get my metallic requirement in there, I used gold paint splatters on the page.

Treasured Time - 123 Challenge

Oh how I love me some turquoise!  And if you look enough on the internet, you can find some inspiration.  It is everywhere you turn!  Sometimes, I get inspired by colors.  Other times, by shapes or textures.  This time around, I liked the inspiration at 123 Challenge, which combines 3 different forms of inspiration and I love combining it all into one layout!

 

I started with a hexagon mask and a clock mask by Tim Holtz.

 

Next, I started through my scrap paper box and found this yummy polka-dot pp.  It was too crisp and clean for my liking, so I crumpled it up and inked it to give it a little texture.

 

After inking everything to my liking, I started layering, but felt it was missing something.  I added the smaller clock stamp under the work "time".

 

A few inked embellies and a title and I was done!

He Holds My Heart - 123 Challenge

I'm excited that my marathon is complete.  I successfully ran 26.2 miles and I have the finishers medal to prove it!  My running routine will be drastically reduced which means my scrapbooking time with be drastically increased!  Yeah me!

Yellow is one of my new favorite colors, so when I came across this months challenge at 123 Challenge, I knew that I had to participate...

The requirements:
1.  Yellow
2.  Mixed Alphas in Title
3.  The word "Heart"

 

I started with plain white cardstock BG and spritzed and dropped yellow spray ink Dylusions by Ranger.  To be honest, it looked like someone urinated on my page...  so, I added black spray ink.  LOL!

 

Sometimes, the best paper is in my scrap box.  It is one of my first go-to places and was happy with what I found there.  In fact, all my paper on this page, with the exception of the BG is scraps.
