Our moment

If you're here for the About A Girl one color challenge reveal please scroll down.
Good morning everyone! It's reveal time at Use Your Words and this time you're being challenged to use the word "Moment" in your title or journaling. This is my page based from the sketch at StuckOnUSketches for their sketch challenge.

The photo is of my husband and I walking in our yard, just taking a moment to enjoy the sunshine (and letting him brag about his lawn). For this page I used a mix of papers; Webster Pages Nature's storybook, Fancy Pants Wishful Thinking, and KaiserCraft Timeless. I hand stitched my circles on the background instead of the doily from the sketch. Using a Martha Stewart border punch I punched a little on the top, then trailing across the bottom, tucking some cheesecloth underneath. The thin ribbon I pleated then glued to my lace strip to match my bow.

And here's the sketch from StuckOnUSketches 

I hope you get a "Moment" to join us at Use Your Words, we would love to see your projects.

Thanks so much for letting me share with you. Your time and comments are always appreciated.  



Our Glamour Girl

Hello everyone! Or should I say happy August 1st? This year is just flying by isn't it? About A Girl has revealed a brand new challenge for you today. This time we are challenging you to pick one color, any color and create a layout.

I chose to use papers from the "Vintage Shabby" collection by Tim Holtz, with coordinating cardstock between my layers. I ran my layers through my Zutter distressing tool. On the cardstock I used a Martha Stewart border punch, then inked the edges in "Merlot" by Martha Stewart. A little random masking with heavy gesso and a Prima mask, and I was ready to embellish...

I colored my lace and the chippie using "Wild Currant" from Tattered Angels, then I inked the edges of the dressform with black ink, affixing it to my page with pop dots for dimension.

So pick a color and play along with us. Thanks so much for coming by. Hope you have an awesome day!
