chipboard alpha background for Basic Grey

Wow, last night was a doozy!

I hope that today is nice and quiet ☺

Today I have a new layout to share with you that I made for BasicGrey.

I was challenged to use the Second City collection chipboard alphas in a creative way:

I pulled out my paint again for this page and kinda like how it turned out ♥

I am not typically an artsy/mixed-media scrapper but this was kinda fun. 

How would you use chipboard alphas in a creative way?

Have a great day!

getting messy with paint and ink for Noel Mignon

Hey!

This week we are having our Cruise Crop over at Noel Mignon and today my challenge is up!

My challenge is to use paint and/or ink on a project and this is what I made:

I love to use paint and ink on pages. 

I used to be nervous even thinking about it but I have since gotten brave and really like the fun color it brings to my projects. 

I started out with some acrylics from the craft store and then added mist. Once those were dry I added the other papers, pics and embellishments. 

I hope you'll play along with us! There is a new challenge posted every day and there will be fun prizes at the end!

Happy scrapping!
