Another challenge in da bag!!! with my pal Brooke

I have to admit that I am really really REALLY enjoying

these challenges - totally out of my comfort zone.

Both ways for sure.

BROOKE'S CHALLENGE TO ME:

this sketch

stamp title

ribbon

3 pp

glitter

I really love the sketch and again, took it right down the middle.

There are 3 PP in there Tim Holtz papers and for

my critter a TH die. 

A bunny.

I must've bought at least 5 bunnies this year.
 As for the glitter well I decided to keep it really low key.

😂

I had to use an animal and this was just too much fun.

And it was a new never used die.

Quirky.

The photo is a drive by of a ghost town on I-10.

Love how it turned out and I'm okay

with someone in the future wondering why there's 

a rabbit with a glitter carrot.

MY CHALLENGE TO BROOKE:

This sketch (which I LOVE)

journaling strips

frames

5 pp

nuvo shimmer powder

AND IN HER OWN WORDS:

Authentique "Summer" papers. Nuvo powders through stencil in blue blitz and solar flare. MM, 7 Gypsies Authentique and TH stickers. Sizzix, and other various dies.

Framed the journaling strips AND used the frame from cutting out the tags on the corner of the pic

I ADORE her page. 

I ADORE my page.

These pages are so different yet ours.

Got another one lined up.

Stay tuned.

 

A challenge among friends!!! Oh what FUN!!

So my pal Brooke and I did a thing.

We challenged each other.

Goodbye comfort zones.

Here we go.

The challenge was to provide a sketch - 

and 5 things to incorporate in

said sketch.

My challenge to Brooke.

I love this sketch I found on Page Maps. 

No sense in drawing when you can get one from the best.

Her 5 things:

Mixed Media background

Work in the tag I gave her.

Thread or Twine.

Fussy cut something

Use her new TH alphas - the skinny ones that I love.

AND WA-LA!!!

Brooke totally rocked it!!!

Using stencils and inks in her background.

I LOVE how she did the title.

She rocked my tag - changed it up a bit and love it.

And fussy cut the butterflies.

Twine behind the tag.

She did work in 8x8 page.

A beautiful photo of her mom rounds it out.

Love love love how it turned out.

And we're so gonna do it again.

I need to get to pondering.

Again.

My challenge from Brooke went down like this.

A sketch she found on pinterest.

3 arrows 

(I struggle with arrows)

Nuvo drops

3 pattern papers

staples

paint

I work in 8.5x5 in my traveler's notebook so I took

it right down the middle.

I managed to work in 4 arrows - using pattern paper

and my arrows were PP but the anchors didn't come through LOL

however the tiny flowers are heart PP.

I did use 2 photos because I didn't want to

waste - I used 2 different sizes which worked out great

because it highlighted the 'rentz.

I used a doily as the "round" thing

The nuvo drops are in the flowers I drew and

on the tag.

The paint is on the homemade washi tape because

I really couldn't think of another way to

work it in.

So I made my own washi tape using Studio Calico

blush crush and arrow stamps with

versifine black ink.

Splattered some watered down paint.

I love how BOTH turned out.

It was sooooo much fun we're gonna do it again.

I'll keep you posted.
