First of all I wanted to make a fresh example page for MY challenge over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog. The post already has three of my older pages to illustrate the challenge colour palette but I had some photos of Child No.3 that were crying out to be scrapped in BLACK / WHITE / GREY and shades of ONE other COLOUR ...
The girls dressed up to attend an Emilie Autumn concert and Child No.3 paid extra to get VIP access to her heroine. I reckoned that the May sketch (#56) by Lisa over at Sketch~N~Scrap could be adapted to suit one large and one small photo and Scrapbook Generation have also got a call out for a monochromatic page ...
Finally I had another go with S J Crafts' Bingo Grid Challenge for May; this time using the middle vertical line of Border Punch (EK Success ledger and cheese-hole), Metal Embellishment (brads) and Torn Paper (well vellum actually). Supplies are just scraps from my crop box plus a Webster's Pages transparency, a button, BG White Chocolate Chip alphas, some gems from my crop friend Jacqui and an old home-made voile flower I found in my craft room drawers.
Weirdly, I'm posting this at midnight my time, but 4pm over with my friends at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog who are continuing with fun challenges all weekend. Please join them while I get some sleep!
