One Little Word - July Blog Hop
July 01, 2011
Welcome to another month of One Little Word. In June we were encouraged to get a bit messy and creative and produce 9 little cards, choosing a colour that maybe continued a theme from our album or a colour that was speaking to us, and to just pull out some supplies and make some mess.
I thought I was going to do a whole heap of copper stamping and painting, to tie in with the "I Scrap" class I did in March, but when I pulled out my "Grow" album and spread all the pages out, apart from a very subtle floral theme in browns and creams, every single layout had a tiny, but very obvious touch of beautiful red.
So my colours were set - Crumb Cake, River Rock, Soft Suede and Cherry Cobbler. I wanted to GROW the floral theme a little more, use some stamps I haven't yet used and include Shimmer Paint, as I have been using that a lot lately. My stamping room is now an utter mess, but I don't think my cards came out messy at all . . . What do you think?
Oh, and of course if I was using a touch of red, there had to be a quirky little lady bird somewhere!
As you can see, I had a lot of fun with this! If you'd like to see what some of the other One Little Word classmates have been up to through out June, please follow on in our blog hop.
