Basically - make a layout using Olive Green / Purple / Cream - that's it!
Soooo ..... Here I go! I pulled out my scrap crap in those colors last night.
Here is the pile of goodies - I call it "All that and a Bag of Chips!"
Well - I didn't end up using everything - but then I did end up using some other elements that called to me while I was creating! Olive Vine Glimmer Mist was one of those items - of course!
Here is a layout with 2 photos - each of me with one of my 2 wonderful sons. These are actually from Christmas 2007 - but I loved our smiles in them and held on to scrap them until I could figure out what I wanted to do with them.
I am very pleased with the results - Let me know how you like the finished entry for this challenge!
Here are some close ups and details:
I covered chipboard letters with paper, and inked them - oh - I didn't have an "N" left in the set -so I "modified" an "M" and the last "S" is from a different set of letters too.
Can you see the purple mesh? I was from a bag of onions and I've saved it for a few months until I found the right Layout for it -- YES, I am a SCRAP-A-HOLIC - but that is why they call it "Scrapbooking" right? LOL!
OK - last close up - the one flower looks yellow - but it is actually cream. The crinkly Green frame was fun to make and distress, oh - and I've had those beads for a while and I'm so happy I got to use them!
Thanks for looking! Now it is time for bed!
