Done - 01/23/2010

Another l/o i did back in January. As you can tell i started out strong doing ALOT of layouts in january, until i started buying, buying, and buying.. LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got this double 12x12 sketch from January's PageMaps' website.

Here's my version of the sketch. :) I challenged myself to use texture and dimension on a layout w/out using dry embossing.

Dimension: used pop dots on the chipboard *hearts that i got from a swap that I hosted. I also stamped the heart w/a background stamp from SU after i heat embossed it - so while it was still hot i stamped it. (learned this techie from one of Sandy G's guest on DIY)

texture: heat embossed the hearts and the paper is embossed.

SAS Challenge #2 - 01/23/2010

Another sketch from Scrapsketch - great site you should visit them..

The Challenge was to "let it shine" LOL - sparkle up your page.. Use glitter, glimmer mist, stickles, rhinestones, whatever it takes to shine up your page.. LOL

Here's my take on the sketch - I used stickles on the flowers that i got from a swap that i hosted on DIY (raw chipboards) and i used rhinestones for the center of the bottom flowers and used stickles on all the flowers. I also used TH's perfect pearls used w/water to spray on the page - faux glimmer mist. :)
