With encouragement and help from my friend, Lisa AKA Runswithscissors, I created my blog and did my first post today. I hope you enjoy.

About 5 years ago, my sister (-in-law), Judy, Retired2stamp, invited me to a Stampin' Up Party. I was drawn to the 6X6 recipe card swap our local group was doing and had wanted to scrapbook too. I wasn't really interested in card making because I had witnessed my brother (in-law) Ed fold up a handmade card and put it in his pocket. I almost fainted and I didn't even make the card. But after a few parties, I was hooked and now make more cards than I had ever thought I would.

Face Painting at the Zoo

This page was for Splitcoaststampers Digital Scrapbooking Progressive Challenge 6.  The link is to Step #1 in case you'd like to see the progression but this post is the 4th & final step.  This was my first progressive challenge & I must say it WAS challenging. Sometime it's hard not to add something not listed but I will definitely play along again!!  Also you can probably tell but it's not digi.  Task 1 was to have 1 or several photos in the middle of the page to cover the entire width of the page with a small strip above & below the pic.  Then add another photo at the bottom left with something vertical on the left.  Task 2 was to add color or grunge at the top left so I sponged...I wished I would have used a spritz.  Task 3 was to add a strip so I did at the top  Below are more of the parts of the tasks that involved the photo in the lower left.


This section of the layout covers all 4 of the tasks.  Task 1 started out with the picture, which is popped out & vertical photo strip.  For Task 2 I added the easel, paint tubes, dog bone (thanks to Diane for the suggestion), library clip & tag.  The 3 circle mirrors, smile photo strip & string was added for Task 3.  The journaling at the right was part of Task 4 & is popped out too to create a shadow.
 
This is part of Task 4 which is to add a title. I used 4 different types of letters plus I added paw prints for the dog (there are 4).  The word "face" is a silver foil, "Painting" looks like water colors, "at the" are blue & green, "ZOO" is an animal print.
 
What a fun layout and yes, there will be a second page to this LO which will be more pictures from our visit to the Philadelphia Zoo in October 2011!!
