Challenge 7 & 8



Sadly this class is over now, I got so much done I can't believe it. These are the last 2 challenges, the one on top we had get creative with a border, I cut the pattern in PP and attached buttons and a piece of ribbon, the one on the bottom we had to pick one color and use only that color, I went with the blue because of Ryan's sleeper color.
I think Shimelle is going to be started another class soon, I hope. I used up a ton of stash for this class so it was all good.

Shimelle's 3 challenges




Shimelle gave us three challenges the other day and I really didn't think I would get them done by Monday but I managed to finish them this morning

For the Lucky LO we had to lft someone's LO who is doing the class, so this is mine
Challenge #2, Coloring Eggs, we needed to pick a challenge from here I did #127, had to have Metal, Arrow, Red, Chipboard, happy, I also added 3 buttons.
Challenge # 3 was to bust our stash but we had to like it when it was done, so 'Pants on the Ground" is loaded with CB letters, scraps of ribbon, 2 different PP scraps, a metal tag and 2 paper tags
I am so sorry to see this class end, but this morning Shimelles said she would send us a challenge every Thursday for the rest of April. I love taking her classes, you get more than your money's worth from her

Prompt 9



this one was to used Chip Board, I don't have a lot because I don't like useing it, especially if it needs to be painted or something, I need to get instant gratification, don't want to wait for paint to dry LOL For the album LO I used 3 small squares with hearts in them and the 12x12 LO the center picture has a frame around it and a small tag, they are all from the same set that I have had forever.

Prompt 8



OK we needed to bust our button stash for this prompt, the buttons I used on the LO cleaned out the jar they were in, GOOD, right? Nope I bought some mor brown ones the other day to replace them. LOL

For the album page I just used buttons in the middle of the flowers and put gems in the center of 2 of them

Prompt Seven



This prompt was to use flowers, which I have a ton of and love useing them
The LO with the flower picture I took last September, I never planted those flowers in that bed, they must have re-seeded themselves from the year before. I am curious to see if it happens again.
For my Celebrate Life album Shimelle suggested doing a LO about something that is local that we look forward too so that is my Apple Festival, I can already taste the funnel cakes. LOL

Prompt Six



Shimelle must have been here because I needed this one bad. It is Stickers. And I have enough to start a store The LO is just a sheet of CS and the stickers are all BG two scoops. The letter are from a sheet of Oh Baby Girl by BG.
The letters (except for the 's') are BG Black Tie that I have had forever

Prompt Five



We had to use a Page protector in a different way
I did Ryan's Brithday Album pages, I staple a 6x6 PP to the 8x8 page protector and slid the invitation his Birthday photo in the the PP. I do this for all three of the babies
Shimelle didn't really give a challenge for out album so I just did another page for it that I wanted

Sunday Challenge


Tod ay we were challenged to use 10 of something from the four prompts So there are 12 circles cut from scraps behind the pictures and 13 brads for the metal. I have had these pictures on my desk for about a month just couldn't figure out how to do what I wanted to do and now it is done.

Shimelle's Saturday Challenge


This challenge was to use something from your stash that would be considered a relic LOL. I used my embossing powders, they have not been touched in years and some almost as old chip board. Got these pictures of Michael yesterday so I figured it was a good fit.

Friday Bonus from Shimelle


The challenge was to use each of the 4 prompts on one LO so I have cardstock, pattern paper, ribbon and metal

This class has got to finally scrap again and it feels so good. Thanks Shimelle.

Prompt 4



Prompt 4 was to use only CS and there was an example of a tone on tone LO that I fell in love with, but I thought it was too much light so I added the black and grey flowers to it
For my Celebrate life Album I used all CS and the challenge was to combine all 4 prompts and I think I did that. Scraps, metal, ribbon and all CS
I am loving this class so much

Prompt 3




For this one we had to use ribbon from our stash so this is what I came up with.
My granddaughter's 4th Birthday picture. I used Shimelle's idea and put ribbons down the side, I pulled the colors from her shirt

And My Celebrate Life Album page I again used Shimelle's idea to fold the ribbon and just glue it or sew the pleats. Neat idea.

Useing scraps




The second prompt for Shimelle's class Was to use scraps in our stash. I did 2 LO, One of madi and one of Ryan, they went to the beach on a some what warmer January day just to play.
I punched the circles from scraps for Ryans and cut strips of PP to put in back of the pictures on Madi's
I have also done the 2nd page of my Celebrate Life Album.

Prompt 1




I have got the first prompt for Shimelles class done. We needed to use up some metal from our stash, so I did a LO and the title page for my celebrate life album

The LO is my granddaughter's 4th birthday, I used some brads down the side in the holes and the little metal heart in the corner
The title page for the album has meat eyelets in the holes on top.
I really don't have much metal in my stash I guess. thought I had more than I did.

I didn't realize the "e" had fallen off the title until I looked at the picture, all fixed now
