Circa 1946 - CE October Challegnge

Here is the sketch, I found it on Pinterest and cannot find a link to the actual page, but it is from Studio Calico. (Sorry, that is as big as it will go without getting pixel-y)

Here is my page. I was chosen to issue the CE challenge for October, it is to scrapbook something that is part of your history.

Sorry for all the editing on this one, it has a lot of personal details. I am going to start an album of stories of our grandparents, and since most of the pages will have single pictures, I decided to do it as an 8.5x11" album.

CE September Challenge

The CE challenge for September is to use a non-traditional product on your layout or card.

Here is my page. I used metal washers as embellishments :)

Here are some close-ups of the large washers. I stamped them using a metal stamp set from a local automotive store and coloured in the letters with a permanent marker.

The picture of this one is hard to read, but the washer says "crew". She thought she was the Crew Boss :)

The pages are my own design, no sketch this time!

MWM Topaz #2 & CE August Challenge

Here is the sketch for MWM Topaz #2

And here is my page.  The CE August challenge was to use stitching, so I got a chance to break in my new Sew Easy tool! :) I love it!

 

 

 

MWM #52 & CE July Challenge

Here is the sketch for MWM #52

And here is my page

 The CE July Challenge is to use no patterned paper. So everything on this page (other than the kraft paper) is fabric! It was a lot of fun to mix the two!
This layout also fits into CE's Crop Challenge #4 which is "reate a layout using item for not their intended purpose. Examples coffee filter flowers, cotton ball clouds, Popsicle stick fences, fabric as backgrounds."
