exercise 3

I'm enjoying seeing the results of these exercises. So much creativity out there! Please don't feel constrained by the one-week time frame. If it takes longer to get a project done, that's okay!!! Just post a comment under the appropriate exercise with a link to your work. I check regularly (okay, I'm obsessed clickclickclickclickclickclick) to see if anything new has been added.

The idea for this week's exercise came to me as I was transferring my letter stickers from a blown-out folder into a nice, new folder. I thought to myself, man, some of these stickers are old. The saying that goes with a new bride popped into my mind....something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Cooooooool. That could make a neat challenge. But the 'borrowed' part wasn't quite right. How can you borrow something to make a project?...to borrow means to use and return. Nah, I'll come up with another two syllable word to use in its place. So, I came up with this....

Create a layout (or whatever) using something old, something new, something sparkly, something blue.

It doesn't have to be four separate things....you can use a new, sparkly thing. Or an old, blue thing. Just so you have all four bases covered. And the new and old are relative to you. Use your discretion.

When you get your project completed leave a comment on this post (available on the left column). List your old, new, sparkly and blue items with the link so we can all see what you did. Here is mine... (you know the drill...click on images to see the whole thing)

Old: Colorbok letter stickers from 2003 and metal heart brads. New: Scenic Route paper and Making Memories frame. Sparkly: rhinestone name (found it at A.C. Moore) and Ranger glitter glue on the charm. Blue: fiber and some of the letter stickers.

Here are some close-ups....

Okay - get busy!!! Looking forward to your inspiring ideas! :-)

Just so you know I look at this every week and I wish I had time. Maybe next week. I love this idea. Maybe I'll surprise you and in a couple weeks I will complete them all. OK, maybe not, but we can all dream! Can't wait to see all the great things.
