Paper Issues: June Try It Tuesday!

Hi Creatives Friends & Fans!

Welcome back for the June edition of Paper Issues new mixed media challenge, 

This month we're trying something a little less challenging, 

but involving tons of texture and fun! 

This month's task is to add fabric to your creations! 

Textiles are a fabulous medium to use in our projects, and can include items such as, 

lace, ribbon, pom poms, tulle, fabric squares, cotton/thread, sewing, weaving, buttons and bows to name a few!

Be as creative as you like! 

Here's what I've created for this month's Try It Tuesday....

"Living the Life..."

Isn't this the sweetest?!! Soooooooo pretty!

You'll spy milliner's lace, bakers twine, pom pom trim, buttons and a ribbon for my fabric elements, as well as the gorgeous Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams collection. 

Here's a closer look for you.....

Loving the accents of gold foil chipboard stickers & the fabric touches really add dimension and texture to my sweet page!

How awesome is that milliner's lace (hat tulle)?!!

I love the look of this so much!

Ribbon and baker's twine are easy to add to any creation! 

I hope you liked my project, and will give this fun challenge a go!

There are so many fun ways to try using fabric in your creating!

Paper Issues: *new challenge* Scrap Soup

Hi Happy Arty Days Friends!

There's a few new challenges starting this month at Paper Issues, 

the first of which is

- Scrap Soup -

You'll get an 'ingredients' list every month from Paper Issues, 

but you do all the concocting ;) 

Oh, and you must use all items on the list too!

Here's this month's list

Note: The 2 long rectangles have no width requirements, so you can make them as thick or thin, as you like!

Here's my take,
"Dream"

Isn't this the prettiest?! Love this photograph of my two together!

I've stashbusted my Hazelwood 1Canoe2 collection leftovers to create this super sweet layout! 

You'll notice that my 11" rectangle is quite thin as I used the bottom of a pattern paper, product label strip for this rectangle. Great way to use up those strips!

Here's a few close ups....

That divine yellow button is from the Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams collection. 

Butterflies, blooms & mason jars! Can it get any sweeter?! 

Love it!

Hope you liked my take on this fabulous new challenge, and will play along!
