Happy Saturday Friends! It's time for another challenge with Lauren Meader and the My Time to Create Challenge team. It's template time! Time to make something with one of Lauren's My Timeless Templates offered at Papertrey Ink....there are even two freebies so give em a try if you haven't already. And, I'm also using color inspiration from the fabulous Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Challenge blog. Have you seen this one yet? Always amazing eye candy over there!the challenges:
my project:
The template challenge is two fold this week....use a template AND make it school themed. So this little basket called Pack a Picnic has been transformed with green galore cardstock from Stampin Up and stamps from Stampin UP and Papertrey Ink. This is the perfect shade of green for those snappy granny smith apples! Might as well start off on the right foot with your teacher and bring him or her an apple in a super fun container!
I added the brown to the outer edge of the stamped apple by first inking it up with green galore and then rolling the stamp edges into the brown ink. A very time honored stamping technique that never fails to impress me!
The fun part about 3-D projects is that they show well from every angle! I used a stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the row of small apple stamps and the "basket grid" is the grid stamp from Papertrey's Guidelines set. The handles are strung onto the button floss that is then threaded through the side of the basket and taped to the inside. I think the buttons really give it a little something special. :)Are you ready for some amazing inspiration from the design team? Check them out:
