We're challenging you to use your scraps (we know you have a ton) in ways that make them fresh & not boring. How you do that is up to you.... It can be making embellishments, mixing the old with the new, a design that is on trend, etc.
Here's my take on the challenge using some of the scraps from My Mind's Eye Grow line mixed with other papers that coordinated.
I had a small piece of a KI Sheer left so I cut out the shape & used it in place of a flower.
The geometric pattern wasn't too feminine (since layout was about my dad flowers wouldn't have been right) the sheers worked perfectly. I adhered them with Diamond Glaze adhesive.
They seemed kind of flat so I added a Prima - Pebble. Since I only had 1 left I had to brainstorm what to use on the other 2.... brads, buttons... no.... how about Tim Holtz Fragments... perfect. I didn't even need to adhere patterned paper to the frag as I usually do because the sheer pattern coming thru was decorative enough.
I know you want to see what Teresa did with the challenge so head on over to her blog. My other project is created with the new Echo Park Paper - Sweet Summertime line which is THE HOT product out there right now. See my blog for photos & design details.

very cute page!
Fun challenge! I mixed old chipboard alphas and old chipboard sayings with my new BG Kioshi line and then used literal scraps of paper to create handmade flowers!

I need every opportunity I can get to use up my scraps. The pile is getting bigger and bigger all the time.

Has a winner been determined? Will there be a winner? Just wondering as the deadline was June 13.
I stalked the blog for days trying to pick a winner but it was always before the 13th and of course on the 13th I told myself "In the morning first thing pick a winner" and now it is the 18th and just remembered! Sorry everyone. Will post one in just a minute.
Congrats Brennen! Thank you Krystle for participating.
