Challenge #8 Use your Chipboard Stash

I have been scrapbooking for over 8 years & have accumulated quite a stash. Brads, buttons, ribbon, chipboard...I love it all!
In an effort to use up some of my stash, I came up with a challenge using the bare chipboard.
For my layout I used large letters, covered them with paper, sanded the edges & then stamped with a tiny stamp all over them.
The letters “RTW” stand for “Round The World”, a little nickname I have given my daughter.
Hope you enjoy this challenge & I can’t wait to see what you create! ~Sheryl

Challenge # 7

Challenge #7: Sketch

Good morning all you wonderful Crafty people! Charity here. Today is my first time hosting a challenge for the Paper Girls Challenge Blog. I decided to go with a sketch...sort of go easy on you at first! ;)
Here's the sketch:

A few weeks back I was having a particularly bad day so I turned to crafting to ease my mind. I like to create something beautiful when it seems I can't find beauty no matter where I look. I turned that layout into the above sketch.

I was worried the sketch would be a little hard to follow so I put together a second layout to illustrate alternative ways to view the design.

I shouldn't have worried about the ways people would interpret the sketch. My fellow paper Girls have plenty of options for you to view.

Sheryl






So grab yourself a copy of the sketch, and get started creating. You have until Friday, May 18 to link your entries. Have them in by 11:59 pm. Check my blog for a peak at the prize!
