My five Challenge projects for The Cropped Event

My favorite of the five challenges.  We had to use all 9 squares and make 9 mini layouts and use the co-ordinating paper layerz sheet to cut out embellishments.  I just love how it all tied together....  The bottom photo is our wedding picture, middle row photo is us now and the top photo is Wally and I one Halloween .......hence the title of this layout~ I wanna grow old with you! I love it!

In this challenge, she wanted us to use at least seven circles and the color teal.  I like making birthday cards for kids........I think it is pretty neat.  Maybe some little kid will like it.

This challenge was to do a card or  anything that used Subway Art.  I had never heard of Subway Art , so did some quick research and found out it is word art....Megan said to use our favorite quote, song or Bible Verse.  This is one of favorite songs right now, so that is what I chose.  I  like it okay, but am going to practice making more of these in the future!

  The first challenge was to use the masking technique shown on the dvd that Megan sent.  I dont think mine turned out the greatest, but I learned something that I had never tried before...I will practice and get better!  It was really fun to do!



I loved the last challenge, even though it was a little hard.  We had to make anything , using only paper and adhesives.  We couldnt use embellishments of any kind, or even any journaling.  I started out by using a sheet that was included with my kit .    I cut out the Santa and letters using a pretty pink paper and also matted the snowflake paper with the same pink.    It is a simple layout, but I really love it alot.   At Christmas time, I will take a photo of the grand kids and add to this mat.......
