MC #2 - Right Now

2012-02-08T13:50:00.001-06:00

Forgive my lateness in posting the February Monthly Challenge. As Little Man grows up, I've been learning that a) scrapbooking is easier to do because he's easier to occupy,, b) I have a PLETHORA of photos I love but have no real association to anything worthy of scrapping on it's own and c) I need to scrap more in the here-and-now. That all being said, I sat down earlier this year after

No, I'm not jumping the gun on Christmas. In fact, while shopping today I was somewhat sickened by the fact that stores are completely decorated and playing Christmas music already.This challenge is to take any holiday paper, embellies, etc. and use them for something completely unrelated for the intended holiday. What made me think of this is that I have some really cool St. Patrick's Day

This month's challenge is about TATTOOs. Scrap a photo of a tattoo or a design inspired by a tattoo. The word tattoo is said to have two major derivations from the polynesian word "ta" which means striking something and the tahitian word "tatao" which means to mark something.

2011-04-30T19:39:00.000-06:00

With Mom in mind (Mother's Day is on the 8th - don't forget!), I'd like to focus on moms as people. Do a LO that celebrates the woman you are fortunate enough to also call mom. Her childhood, her marriage, her best friends, but something about her that showcases her as the woman she is or was rather than focusing on her as your mother. ALSO, bring back a classic: do some punch art on the page.

Given that the clouds in my life could definitely use a shimmery lining, glimmer mist seems like it would make a logical addition to my scrafting toolkit. Yet, I haven't brought myself to tackle this technique. I like to have a certain amount of control over the results of my projects, so the randomness of glimmer misting scares me a little. I worry that I'll only end up with condensation chaos
