Nacho Tuesday - Challenge YOUrself #88

Hi everyone, It is time for April's challenge from over a the Challenge YOUrself Blog. This month we would like you to chose a letter and use it on your layout. For example, if you chose P, use paint, pearls, etc and a word that starts with P in your title and remember to include YOU in one of your photos!


Here is my take on the challenge - documenting a fun family memory from our "Covid-19 Vacation" last November. I selected the letter "T" to capture our "Nacho Tuesday" Dinner!
I used: Tiny Alphas, the letter T in my title, Tearing, Twine, Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Spray and Distress Stain, Tattered Angels Spray, Tarnished Brass Distress Stain, a Tag and washi Tape.

Our cruise to Bermuda was canceled so we rented a beautiful log home in New York State, near Lake George.  We had a great time, relaxing and getting away with our family and our dogs.

Here are some close ups for you:
I love the Vintage Great Escape collection from Simple Stories - I used a piece of mixed media paper from Vicki Boutin's Let's Wander collection - that had gold circles that were filled in with green paint. I made gold circles on the Simple Stories layers and painted green and blue distress oxide spray.


Here you can see some more of those circles and also the tag that I created behind one of the photos.


Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope I've inspired you to play along with us this month 
- and I can't wait to see what YOU create!
Head on over to the Challenge YOUrself Blog for more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team, Prize Info, and the Link to add your layout!
