Scrap Our Stash-January 2017 Challenge

Hi there scrappers!
Rachelle here so happy to be back.
Today I am up on the 
SOS Blog
featuring my design page and 2017 Design Team Introduction.

The first challenge for 2017 is the

January Tic Tac Toe Stash Challenge

January 1st ~ 29th

Here is my take:

"Reminisce"

My 2 beautiful grandchildren Adrianna and Antonio

holiday photo.

I started by selecting the first vertical row on 

the Tic Tac Toe Board.

Next, I created a small mixed media background and added

5+ pattern paper layers, twine across the top of the layout.

Finally, adding white chalk mist, floral clusters, 

and rhinestone gems.

All finished!

 

Well that's it for this post and I trust you have been inspired.

Thanks for stopping my blog.

SEE YA SOON!!!!

God Bless Always & Huggies!

I love being on this awesome SOS design team. 

I started scrapbooking in 2008 when I viewed a friends work. "I've got to do this" was my immediate thought. My passion quickly turned into addiction for this type of artistry and I never looked back.  I am very passionate of this hobby. It's not just about creating albums but it is a work of art. I love taking pictures to use to document life. Thus, here I am today enjoying my passion as therapy and inspiration to others. I enjoy each day filled with being inspired, creating, providing inspiration through my work and treasuring the memories. 

I love the art of scrapbooking, paper crafting, and mixed media.

Love cardmaking, digi image coloring using alcohol makers. altered art, journals/planners, and chipboard. My style has been described as detailed, beautiful, and multifaceted.

I like to take the viewer on a unforgettable visual journey.

Applied distressed edges, stamping, and my fave enamel dots.

You can easily see the striped cardstock a part of the layering.

The chipboard stash worked well with grey ink.

I love navy blue so applied layers behind my granddaughter's fun picture.
