CYAO3, CYAO4 and CYAO 5!

As mentioned... waaaayyy behind in posting. Renos are coming along though... should have a kitchen for the first time since July 2010 by the end of MARCH!!! I am sooo excited.

Here is the challenge for CYAO3:



Use 3 of the following products/techniques:
3 different patterned papers
a die cut
sewing (can be hand, machine or faux)
stamping
glitter
ribbon

I really love this PageMaps sketch, its sooo gorgeous! Plan to use it again and again. This is my first crack at the sketch:

I used scraps of Cosmo Cricket EverAfter, ribbon from the same collection, and a stamp with Spiced Marmalade DI. Then I stickles-ed the heck out of the flowers on the stamp.

So I used... 3 different patterned papers, stamping, glitter, and ribbon. I was going to die cut and sew too, but then I decided that was a little over-achiever-ish lol!!

On to CYAO4: 

Use 3 of the following products/techniques:
3 different patterned papers
a die cut
sewing (can be hand, machine or faux)
stamping
glitter
ribbon

I had a hard time with this sketch... didn't really know what I wanted to do with it or where I was going, and with tons of reno-ing going on that weekend, I didn't have much time to fuss, so this is what I came up with:

I used a red DCWV card, and then embossed on the LHS, and then painted over it all with Flirty Glitter glaze to deepen the color. I also stamped Joy and the manger scene. I used a border punch and ribbon too....

So I used, stamping, glitter and ribbon :)

Finally to CYAO5:


http://pagemaps.com/images/2011/dec/cardmaps/dec11-6x6a.jpg

Use 3 of the following products/techniques:
Monochromatic tones
Felt
Rub-ons
something in the PaperSecrets store
Fussy cutting
Rhinestones

As you can see, they went a little tough on use with this one, with tricky criteria!!

The digi is Frida Fashionista by Heather Valentin from SSS. I blinged her up with some Stickles. She is colored with R32, R35, R39, R22, R24, R29 Copics, as well as a bit of T10.

The papers are Recollections and the DCWV glitter stack, and the bling is from Recollections.

So to meet the challenge, I used a mono tone image and a mono tone card, bling/rhinestones, and I fussy-cut Frida.

Hope you're gaining some inspiration!!
