Presidents Day 5 in 1 Challenge

One of my favourite challenges over at scrapbook.com are the progressive challenges ( http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/1528139/tp/1/ ) hosted by the wonderful Stacey (Ms.Schwiet ~ http://ohschwietscrap.blogspot.com/ ). My good friend Stacey always throws in plenty of new techniques & fun things to try along the way. One of which was sanding over the top of something textured. I used a chipboard sticker to sand over to make a circle pattern on my page. Not only did i try this technique but i tried a little mosaicing too. I love how this page turned out. Here are a few close ups just for sharing of the finished page.

Also involved in the 5 challenges are another progressive challenge, a sketch challenge, a presidents challenge & a scraplift challenge. I am hoping to get these done over the course of today. 5 Layouts in 2 days could possibly be a record for me.

Here is my sketch layout:


Progressive Layout #2

Sneak Peak

I recently submitted to become a design team member at a new scrappy space. http://divascreativas.ning.com/ I am still waiting to hear back from them. But here is a sneak peak of the layout i created especially for them. I'm not sure if i can post the full layout yet or not so here are just a few close up shots of some of the elements on the page. Also this is my first layout in 2010 & i am happy to say my mojo hasn't left me during my break from scrapping.
