PIT Challenge #2

I did not explain before, I have been participating in a "Challenge" group at Picture In Time - Scrapbook Store located in Fleming Island, FL.  We meet once a month and are given a "kit" or bag of items that we are to make anything with.  I forgot to take a picture of the items we received for Challenge #2.  It consisted of a pack of decorative scrapbook paper, plastic adhesive letters and some other little embellishments.  Below is one of the two items I made.  This was constructed from an idea that I found on Pinterest.

Pre-Made ABC Scrapbook Album

4" x 4" ABC Themed Scrapbook Album

• One page for each letter. 
• This little book provides a great learning activity for your little one. Add photos of friends, family, favorite objects, etc. that coincide with each letter.
• Pages have been inked with purple smudging technique to provide fluidity throughout the album. 
• The pages are joined together with two metal rings decorated with bright yellow and white polka-dotted ribbon.

No Soliciting

I have wanted to create or purchase a "NO SOLICITING" sign for the front door of my home.  There always seems to be unusual amount of people knocking on my door to sell/promote/distribute "things".  So, I finally took a moment with my Silhouette Cameo to create this little beauty after a creepy kind of guy wanted to "clean my floors".

I must admit, though, I still had someone knock on my door to invite me a local church pancake breakfast.  I'm thinking "really?"   But, I was nice and just said thank you.  I really need to rethink my strategy.

PIT Challenge #1

 Each participate was given a packet of assorted materials and embellishments.  Some were a little different but generally the same.  Our instructions are to use at least one element of each "type" of embellishment to make ANYTHING we want.

I decided to make a 'guest' book.  A guest book is a fun way to greet friends and family who may visit you for a few days or even just for dinner.


I cut the clip board in half.  Spray painted it brown and inked the edges to give it an "aged" look.

 Using old graph paper, parchment papter, and other types of scrap paper I had around, I created the pages.  I incorporated the embellishments provided in the packet, stamps, stickers along with other supplies I had from previous projects.
