July 2011 Kit

This month's challenge is hosted by Theresa, and it is called Chopped 3-2-1 (inspired by the Food Network).

The rules are as follows. You must create at least one project (e.g., a card or layout), in which you use items from three separate groupings.

(1) Use three pages from the calendar supplied (which should make up at least 25% of the visible space).

(2) Use at least two separate elements from "2" bag consisting of rub-ons, tag book and ribbon.

(3) Use at least one piece from the embellishment bag, consisting of metal items and office supplies.

Good luck!

Tammy's July Results

Finally, I am caught up! I absolutely loved this calendar paper. I was really concerned about meeting all of the elements of the challenge and was only able to make one card that fit in the "rules" but the paper was so gorgeous I had to keep playing. There are still so many things I want to do with this paper!

Here are all of the cards. The one in the back right is the "challenge" card. The rest were for fun.

Here is the challenge card...sideways...sorry!

And the others with the beautiful papers...

Rachel's July Results

Here is my project for this month's challenge:

The front contains three pieces of paper from the calendar supplied by Theresa as part of the gorgeous (!) kit she put together. I die cut the piece with the butterfly and glued it onto the purple tag (which I trimmed to fit). I used a stamp to make it look like a cancelled postage stamp.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card:

I wish I could say that no rub-ons were harmed in the making of this card, but that would be untrue. You would think after the first few times of accidentally placing rub-ons on the plastic packaging one would learn, but...maybe someday.
