Motivation Challenge 1/21

Posting it tonight to give everyone ample time!! Here is the sketch for the challenge. I have been checking out some two page LO's for challenges as I have had requests for those. I will see if I can find a good 2 pager for the challenge this weekend! Okay folks grab your paper, pictures, tapes, glues, glitters, brads, ribbons, cutters, tweezers....heck even the kitchen sink if it will help.....AND GET TO SCRAPPIN!









**************UPDATE*************

Here is my LO for the challenge. I chose pictures from Halloween this year. I also turned the sketch so my pictures matched the measurements better.

LAYOUT INFO -
- Title, word and cutouts are black velvet stickers. I don't know who makes them as my former LSS owner gave them to me.
- Picture mats are cut with the Cricut Stamped cartridge
- Pattern paper is Cosmo Cricket...from their Halloween line this year I believe
- Brads are from Wal-Mart in their office deparment, I embossed them...see the picture below for close up.
- Journaling is with a white Uniball Signo pen
- Inking is with Tom Holtz walnut distressed ink
- Flowers are Petaloo's
- double sided adhesive foam to pop the pictures
- ribbon is Stampin Up more mustard


Here is the close up of the brad. The embossing powder was a very small vial I got at the stamp garage sale this fall and it looked purple but when heated it had some white in it. I think it looks pretty cool! To emboss brads just heat your brad in front of your heat gun and dip it your embossing powder. Simple as that!
