New Month, New Challenges~

We have over 200 members now at Bella Creations, all of whom will have the chance to win fabulous RAK's by entering the April Challenges. This month's Tres Chic Style challenge is 'Grunge' with turquoise, silver, metal and painted cardboard. Here is the 12x12" layout I designed~

This page is called Last First, as the photos were taken on the first day of my daughter's senior year~ her last first day of high school. I used Adirondack Paint to stamp in the uper & lower corners. I also used silver ink to stamp 'enjoy the journey'. The smaller photo is double matted and mounted on foam dots to elevate it.The fabulous embossed metal strip was made for me by a dear friend. The brown shape next to the photos is the high school mascot, an American Indian head. I always put items representing my daughter's personality and likes on her pages. She loves Peets tea so my painted cardboard is a cup sleeve. I added her initial, and the butterfly fit perfectly on this LO because her word for her senior year is 'evoluer'! (evolve,change,grow like a caterpillar to butterfly). I also used discarded gum wrappers to punch tiny silver hearts....Miss R chews gum everyday! LOL~

There is a quote by O.W.Holmes written on the edges saying, "A person's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains it's original dimensions."

Rogue Redhead Designs is offering a sweet set of stamps for a random winner. Come play!
