It's time for the Monday Inspiration girls over at Frosted Designs!

 We would like to see your cards, layouts and off the page projects using only 3 colors.... black, white, and one other color of your choice!

I did another lay out!! Don't faint....lol 

After checking, I see that my last one was made back in November so I had better get caught up!

 Now what do you do when you don't really have anything to journal about? I used a poem from e.e.cummings and wrote fun facts about tulips around the edge of the LO. .

I also like that I got to use a small piece of ephemera, the top of the Biltmore ticket stub is used as my title. And my subliminal sub title which is God - everything - yes, because God is everything!

 PageMaps 7th Anniversary sketch contest

Cut out the banner from the Cricut and adhered it to some twine.

 

 Used a French knot to secure the large overlay to the base. .

 Sprayed some mister on the overlay and let dry before placing the bling down. Because I sprayed onto a slick surface you really have to be careful and make sure it's completely dry. You can see where I added a little extra glue to the bling because it re-activated the spray, although in my book, that wasn't such a bad thing.

And attached the small journaling circle that I cut out with a stick pin which I outlined with a pen so it pop. I had to paint my date on top of the journaling sticker so that it would show up.

Pan Pastel's UK Challenge Blog - Use a Stamp Image

 

The strip of paper that had the camera rub ons was from a long time ago. I couldn't even tell you why I did it, or why I kept it. lol But I did, and I am glad. It didn't fit the width of the board though so I painted a film strip to go down the length of the sign and used the felt from a TH applicator to stamp the rectangles along the film strip. Then used white drippy paint and stamped words.

Sandy Lion - stamps ( inspire, create, imagine, arrow )

Hambly - rub ons - ( cameras )
