So, here I am last night, chatting with my good buddy aka Barb and telling her that I haven't scrapped much these days and that I'm not that inspired either. Then we move on to different topics, one being about our stash of muted/distressed pattern papers that were the look for a while and that neither of us used that much or dig anymore, like the Wild Asparagus lines from MME and the Crate Paper lines.
One thing leads to another and then Barb issues me a crazy challenge: make a layout with some of our Wild Asparagus pps and use some stamps, all of it in an hour. As usual, it only takes me a couple of seconds to succomb to her dare. *sigh*
She was able to finish the challenge in the allotted time frame but I think it probably took me an hour just to decide what picture I wanted to work with! LOL Then, I let myself be inspired by a sketch that I had found some time ago on the Scrapidées blog and here's what I came up with:
Supplies: MME Wild Asparagus pps (Dad & me, Friends forever), Crate Paper Impression Diecut flower, AC thickers, Sticko Bookworks words, MM brads, Purple onion journaling stamp, Staz-on & Crafter's inks.
I'm happy with the results. I managed to finish it before going to bed. So it was more like an hour and a half but who's really counting! LOL
You can see Barb's layout over here. As usual, she did a great job!
Thanks for stopping by. =)
Hey, I have that paper too... I used it on the LO with Thomas and the cat for that crazy challenge with a zillion products on the page.
But your page... I LOVE the white space and the cluster of embellishments/papers under the photo. And is that Morgane?! Whoever it is, she's adorable. :)
Great job on the challenge! I'm glad we both ended up scrapping last night. You're the funnest scrappy friend EVER.

Total cuteness! I'll be honest and say that the WA pp is not one of my faves, but you used it wonderfully! Love your title work too.

These challenges are so fun! I really love your page.
Can't wait to see your weekend pics from your visit to Barb's :)
PS - I totally just realized that I never got back to you about the bracelet thing, so sorry! I spoke to Pat and he had said that he just doesn't think it's worth it for both parties, even for just the tags, because the cost of gold is soooo expensive, on top of the cost of the work! sorry :(
