10, 10, 10 Challenge

On National Scrapbook Day I participated in BPC's Creative Crop.  Stacy Julian gave a challenge to create a page with 10 products, 10 techniques, and journal with only 10 words.  I was excited to try it out!  So here's the breakdown...

Products: cardstock, paint, digi stamp, brad/eyelets, flowers, chipboard letters, ribbon, paperclip, tags

Techniques: paint, digi stamp, handwriting, folded ribbon, hybrid embellishments, tags as embellishments, visual triangle, eyelets/brads, doodling

This page just makes me happy.  I've never been able to make a two page spread with only one photo.  If I was ever going to do it this pic seemed the one to try it with.

This is only my second time painting on a layout.  And I so love it!  The dry brush technique made a cool mat for one of my favorite photos!

I love anything by Ali Edwards and this digi stamp is no exception.  I made it orange to match the mat and dropped it on top of the pic.  Love Love LOVE!

 Amazing that I could make a page without a photo and only 10 words of journaling.  And I even like it.  :)

To create a visual triangle I added this little cluster of embellishments.  I love the idea of using a tag as the base of the cluster.  Add the date...pretty.

This cluster is the baseline for my journaling.  It also is where many of my products and techniques come into play.

Big chipboard letters a white pen and some thoughts about my baby boy and the layout is complete.  :)

Try it out!  10 products 10 techniques and 10 words of journaling.  It's a fun challenge and creates an amazing page!
