November Challenge at More Than Words

Oh my - have you seen the new challenge over at More Than Words? The challenge is to be inspired by the word "Special" and to use at least one item from the quote "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue". Now this might make you think of weddings but if you're like me and don't have a recent wedding to scrap, think outside the square! I used a photo of my daughter with her Special blue hair and used all four elements of the quote in my work.


I think my daughter has tried just about every hair colour now. She's a very determined and individual young lady.

Here's the challenge board:


You only have to use one part of the quote in your challenge but I used all four: the title is made with old alphas, the blue is from my brand new set of Tinby Designs Colour Crush, I borrowed the quote from the internet (ok - that one's a bit of a stretch!) and well, there's no doubt I used blue!




I spy another Dusty Attic Mini Heart Button. I'm finding I'm putting these on almost every project lately.


I had fun making that background with stencilling on book paper and lots of Colour Crush.



I even coloured my flowers with Colour Crush so they matched my page perfectly. I left all the chippie untreated - I liked the way it worked with the blue.

I sure hope you can join in the challenge this month. You can find it here.


Happy scrappin'!

  9. Brilliant! Love the chippy 'ribbon' & of course, those heart buttons.....really like the construction across the page & the best bit, to me, is the use of the stenciling over the print. That looks REALLY 'individual'....bit like your girl, I'd say!!!

  13. Kapow! - this is a knockout with the bold colours, design and that gorgeous photo. Lovely for your daughter to be an individual, instead of following along like sheep. Especially like that text paper under the MM and the blue is divine. :D
