Well I made it!! The very last challenge is finally here and it was a fun one!!
This week the challenge was to create a page that had customised ribbon. Now as far as I'm concerned that means the ribbon look without the expenses so I adhered chipboard strips to the page and added white lace rubons over the top to give the feel of decorated ribbon!!
So close to the end I can feel it now!! Its been quite an amazing journey really - these challenges!!
This week the challenge was to fill up the background - with patterns, words and/or colour!! I chose to punch out a tonne of scalloped squares that I then pieced together to create a quilt type effect!!
Icant' believe that in less than 15 days it will be the end of another school year, Matts birthday and of course the end of Ems existence in Primary school!! In fact in a couple of months I will be the mother of a teen at high school !! Scary stuff!!
Anyway, here's my page -
This weeks challenge was to make your own customised photo corners which I did by mitering a sticker strip and placing it over a corner!!
This week the challenge was to be inspired by a piece of fashion!! I chose a tshirt image to be my inspiration and went with it -
Pretty Huh?!? Not much to explain here other than I wanted to use the Tinkering Ink butterfly paper to flutter butterflies across my page!! I changed the colours to suit the paper butterflies I knew I wanted to use and tore the corner out of the page to represent a sleeve but also so I would have a place for some journalling!!
Nearly finished huh? I can't believe this challenge has been going for 46 weeks already!! Where has all the time gone?
Anyway, this week the challenge was to create a page using paint. I decided fairly well straight away that I wanted to use paint for my background. I began by paint white gesso randomly over the surface then dripping on some latex masking fluid. Once everything was dry, I painted red randomly over the surface and pulled up the latex blogs to reveal a blobby surface. Finally I used a piece of sequin scrap and brushed gold paint through it to create the final layer of my background.
I'm so close to the end I can almost see it lol!! This weeks challenge was to create a page that incorporates an arrow. For my page I added a Prima chipboard arrow to a very busy page. I love how everything flows across the page but most of all I love that my page was created solely from layers and layers of paper scraps!!
Btw have you seen my new border yet? Probably a bit hard to notice but there it is lol!!
The challenge this week was to create a fun photo matt!! I love love love this page!! I started by hand cutting a scalloped border that I then mired to create a corner. I also hand cut the centre out of a piece of Prima patterned paper to create my photo matt and couldn't say no to cutting out a section of the edge to add to my corner section!! I love the colours in this page - so cute and funky and just such a perfect match for the photo of Sarah!!
This weeks challenge was to create a page based on a favourite foods - of course I had to choose my absolute fav!!
I love how this page turned out actually - the combination of the clear overlay and the patterned paper is so effective - and of course I was lucky enought to find some matching paint to colour the chipboard swirls!!
The challenge for this week was to create a sytylish photo frame. I'm not sure I quite did it - I double matted my photo then added rub ons along the side of the second matt. I guess my aim was to place the photo in the best place so that the floral pattern seemed to flow from one side of the photo to the other and in that way make it a stylish frame!! Anyway, its done and I like it.
BTW - the floral bit was coloured with copic markers!!
