CKC Challenge #1

Use scallops.

My inspiration came from this layout by Missy Whidden.

I tried the popularly touted schmooshing-with-product-packaging technique. 

At this point I was less than thrilled but knew that most of this would be covered up. After punching out three sets of scallops & layering them up, I double-mounted the photo on patterned papers, added my forged rainbow embellishment & sprinkled a few forged stars & eyelets. 

My finishing touch was the scalloped tag & forged tassels. My daughter posted the photo the day before my granddaughter's 7th birthday with the sentiment that makes up the title.

Time for you to try your hand at using scallops!

031216 WM#203 Eyelets

I love that Lisa picked up her WM#203 inspiration for this week's challenge

from the FaceBook group conversation. Started by Sherrie, the eyelet/grommet 

trend that is beginning to surface was presented at THIS LINK. 

Take a scroll through the article - there are 15 fab fashion takes on the trend.

I chose #6,  this Marc by Marc Jacobs Eyelet Metal Choker ($158)

Sorry, ladies - it's out of stock at the moment...

Here's my take:

I had intended to add brads to complete the pattern but I would have had to make this element HUGE to do that.

Here's the full page, photographed at an angle to show off all of the gold!

Keep watching - I have been inspired by almost all of the examples!

I'm hoping to add some eyeletized embellis in future.

Stash-busting with style, baby!
