CP4U Challenge #49

Challenge #49 is up on the Creative Prompts For You blog!

Supplies used:  Jenni Bowlin, SEI, Basic Grey and 7 Gypsies patterned papers; Marvy Uchida, EK Success and Martha Stewart Crafts punches; Maya Road chipboard; Tsukineko ink; Stampendous embossing powder; Basic Grey stickers; Sakura pen; McCall's pattern tissue; Glitz Designs rhinestones; miscellaneous buttons, ribbon and vintage lace.

This week, we had four elements that we had to incorporate - I struggled a little bit with this one!  The ledger paper was easy - I love this die cut paper from Jenny Bowlin!  Same goes for the pop dots - they're always on my layouts!

The ribbon is tied across the page and I used lace to create the flowers, with various centres:

They were simple to make!  I just sewed the two raw edges of a length of lace together and then ran a running stitch through the crocheted holes, drawing the thread tight to gather it.

Using my fingerprints on this layout stumped me.  Then I had an idea!  Using gold ink, I inked up my index finger, along with that of my daughter's, and pressed them into heart shapes on paper.  I then embossed them and cut them out.

You can participate in this CP4U challenge for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to any store (Cdn or US) of your choice, donated by Nicole Nowasad.  You can also check out for their design team call here!
