Saturday, 02/09/13 - 4PM EST - SHARE THE LOVE: Consider the Cardstock
Title: Consider the Cardstock
Hostess: Cheryl (Motherload)
Keyword: LoveVSBN08
Day/Date: Saturday, February 9, 2013
Time: 4pm EST
This VSBN, we�re revisiting past challenges, so here�s one you may have missed the first time around: SBVC180 � Consider the Cardstock .
The final issue of Scrapbooks, Etc. had a list of ways to dress up cardstock. Your challenge is to use at least two of these ideas on your next layout. This shouldn't be difficult if you're a cardstock junkie like me!
1. Die-cut it.
2. Ink its edges.
3. Emboss it.
4. Paint it.
5. Spritz it with water, crumple, and ink it when it's dry.
6. Layer punched designs on it to create your own cardstock.
7. Punch or die-cut a border on it.
8. Sand its edges.
9. Spritz it with ink.
10. Stain it.
11. Stitch it.
12. Weave it.
Here is the GALLERY for this challenge...leave a little luv for everyone!

oo... am I really the first one here! that must mean I am all caught up...
I was thinking how cool that was, but then I started getting jealous! I have pictures laid out for a layout, but can't find paper to go with it. Do I have to count the amount of time I spend searching for paper as part of my two hours? LOL!

nah.... we'll keep that part between us... hehehehe...
Is your craft area a mess? Mine is a lost cause. I guess I don't put anything up when I finish a page before I begin the next one. I lost a photo that I was cutting a mat for. Stuff has poured onto the floor and into the tv room and onto the couch. Poor DH is watching basketball with a table of photos in front of him!!
Okay, finishing up this one. I did 3 techniques, punching, die cut, and embossing. Love this Cheryl!
Be back.

My area is still neat, but only because I keep grabbing the same things.
This challenge is way out of my comfort zone, so I will have to think about it before digging in (and will completely destroy my craft area), however, I still have lots of catching up to do so I am going to continue to go backwards!!!

See ya all later. My area is just going to stay a mess till we are all done.
But look at how many pages we are getting done this week-end!

I'm back and my Desk/Floor is CHAOS! I'm driving myself crazy because I mixed up my photos, they're now not sorted and I have to keep going through them for the ones I want to use .... tonight I need to get them back in the box sorted by event so it's easier
I still have to upload the last challenge page and yesterday's that are done and laying here ... not helping!

We should have guessed that a Scout leader would have smores? ;)
You are SO right ... how could we have missed that one?
well, I've ripped, inked, diecut and I was thinking about embossing one section then these pages are done ... I scraplifted another page from my favorites ... much easier
Maybe during the break I can get dinner for DH & get my other pages uploaded!

DH asked if we should grill something tonight.... translation he makes dinner ... might have to tell him to get a move on though.. it's after 5:00 here and he hasn't fired it up yet.. Mama's hungry! surprised the boys haven't squawked... too afraid to leave my crafty spot to find out... should have brought a snack in here!

thankfully i really had nothing in the house except some semi defrosted chicken, so I put it in the crock this morning with some spices and veggies, it smells good, normally i shred to make fajitas or tacos with, but i just put some brown rice on and will just have it over that with the broth, sort of soupy for hubby and me, not sure if the kids will eat any or not

Hi...I forgot that VSBN was today. Took DGS to bowling this morning and when I got home, I signed onto my work computer and worked all afternoon trying to get this new business up and running smoothly. But I'm here for the next challenge!
I realized that I used only cardstock on this one, and I splattered and distressed and fussed, as much as I could with digital. I love how this one turned out.
