much money I spend on supplies
when there are everyday things that work perfectly
and don't cost a fortune to get.
Think of old packaging or corrugated cardboard,
twine, strands, rubberbands and newspaper,
oh sweet newspaper!!
This week at Magnolia Down Under
we'd like you to include newspaper on your project.
It could be just a little, could be a lot,
either way, we want to see what you come up with,
be sure to swing by and see the rest of the teams
take on the challenge, their work is incredible!!
I know what you're thinking, what is this??? A little early to start Hallowe'en projects, isn't it? Well, no, no it isn't!! The images used are from last years fall release, and true to Magnolia form, they arrived too late to be used. Yeah, I said it. I guess that means I can get crackin' nice and early this year then, lol. Coloured in Prismacolor pencils, the papers are a medley of MS and DCWV, trim from Prima, a mix of flowers and punches, buttons and pearls are all too varied to name brands.
I had another go and Chelseas sketch from CLP Challenges, it is really fun to use, so many possibilities!! I've used the owl as an embellishment element instead of lace. I used a retro flower punch, MS branch punch and an EK Success border punch.
I'm having challenge withdrawals so I will pop this in at a few places:
Charisma CardsMetal Mickey (button)
Huh, just ran through my usual haunts and guess that's it...
Well, I hope you will get a chance to play with us at MDUC this week, this could be a really interesting affair!! And just an aside here, it is FINALLY raining here, thank goodness, I was worried about it being so dry with all the fireworks going on, or off rather.
Til next time,
Stephanne
