My First CHALLENGE

(The sandcastle, sun, shells and sentiment are stickers. I used 3 different DP. For the water, I tore then distressed with my fingernail. The beach was sponged all over, torn, distressed with my fingernail then the edges inked. The little sign was a sticker that I mounted on Kraft cs, inked the edges and mounted again onto dark chocolate cs. I used little scrap strips for the legs.)

(here you can see that the sun and sandcastle are triple mounted)





(I burned the edges of the paper to create the distressed appearance. For the flag pole, I used a strip of silver cs and also punched a circle for the top. I zig zag sewed the edges with my sewing machine but around the Pledge, I handstitched.)


I know you have all heard me rave and reference my dear cyber friend, Laura Frederickson of SCRAPNEXTRAS. Laura emailed and challenged me to a challenge that she showcases each week titled "Tuesday Stash Challenge". SOOOOO, Laura is "Kind of a Big DEAL" and would certainly fall into the category Cyber Celebrity!!! Obviously I was honored that she would challenge ME!!!!

The idea behind this challenge is to use some of those fantabulous items that we all like to purchase and then HOARD!!! UUUUHH HUH, you know what I'm talking about dontcha? Our challenge is to break your "Sticker Stash" and actually USE THEM...

You are not going to believe how liberating it is to have permission to create something using stickers. It is ok to use other items as long as your main focus is stickers..


Like me Laura got excited about having "Permission and created a second card.
