Okay this week Dianne and I challenged ourselves to use some ugly papers we have in our stash. Here are the papers I chose from a paper pad. Super busy and not my favorite colors. I did have to go looking for a picture I could use on this layout. I found one of a tree from a neighborhood walk. I loved how beautiful and full of flowers this tree was.
To utilize these papers I added some white over the top of the geometric paper and then did some paper weaving with the floral butterfly paper to frame the photo and give me a landing spot for journaling and embellishments. The embellishments are just out of my color boxes for he most part. I framed my white paper with gold sticker strips and added gold dots to the center of all of the punched flowers I found in my stash box. It isn't the worst layout I have created. It's certainly not the best and the papers still make me cringe a little but I'm happy I tried some different techniques and challenged myself. It's great to use little challenges to deep dive into your stash and do something new.
As you can see we're getting a little bored here so doing more and more challenges. Thanks for stopping by sending out Hugs to everyone!
