Create your own homemade embellishment and use it on your page. I would like to see this used as your focal embellishment. Think outside the box and use cardboard, plastic, hair bows, foil, felt, toothpicks, netting, sheet rock tape, cupcake wrappers, etc.

For an added twist use a piece of pattern paper from your SCRAP drawer thats at least ONE year old.






Let’s see some fabulous pages this month.

I have not been scrapping for a year so I can probably do half this.

Great challenge Pink Cadillac!

Here’s mine. I made the heart with cardboard, newspaper, and watercolors. TFL!

I love the outcome. I always wanted to try the watercolors and prints.

Here’s what I did for this challenge. I made the tag using scraps that I had. TFL

I made my flower out of coffee filters! I have a link to the tutorial on my blog, www.melonscraps.blogspot.com

Very cute!

Thats cute Melon. Coffee Filters also make really cute punch items too. (I too have one of those red die cut flowers somewhere in my stash. Loved it in the store, but cant make it work on anything IRL.)

Great challenge Cathy! The twist is especially nice (can’t wait to use those old papers!).

P.S. Congrats on the new job! =D Hope we get to see the first splurge of scrap-goodies! Let’s help the economy, I say! =)

Here’s my take :-)

I used scrap PP to cut the petals, crumpled it and stick it one by one then placed the button. I think it’s more than a year old hehehe

Thanks for looking :-)

I made a homemade snowflake

CJ, I really love the layered paper effect. great homemade flower too. TFS

Larissa, that is such a cute idea for a snowflake. I want to try this now. TFS
