Scrap Our Stash July - Pick Your Word Challenge: "Let Freedom Ring"

It is time for this month's What's My Challenge over at the Scrap Our Stash Blog!!  This month we challenge you to "Pick Your Word" from those listed on the left side of the photo below - and not only use it on your layout - but you must use a stash item that starts with each of the letters in the word you picked!

I am also entering this layout in the Challenge Up Your Life Blog’s Vacation Mood Challenge

I picked the word FREEDOM, and used photos of our sail-away from New York City, on our NCL cruise to Bermuda last October. I had printed 2 photos of the Statue of Liberty, and decided to fussy cut one of them, and used pop dots add it to the other photo to add dimension.  I am LOVING this awesome Vicki Boutin "Let's Wander" mixed media collection!  Such FUN!!

Items used for the word challenge:

F: Flair and Fibers

R: Ranger Distress Stains

E: Epoxy Camera

E: Ephemera (travel title)

D:  DewDrops

O: Outline (stars and hearts)

M: Mists - splattered on layout

Here you can see where I used the word "FREEDOM" and how I pop dotted the photo

Here is a close up showing where I tucked my journaling tag behind the photo. Also, I made the iridescent hearts by spreading Picket Fence Paper Glaze - Succulent Green and Ocean Poppy on heavy cardstock, then punching out hearts and some stars too. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will find some time to create with us this month!  Be sure to head on over the the Scrap Our Stash Blog - for complete contest rules, prize info, and lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team! I can't wait to see what word inpires you!
