GS#3 – Party!

Get Sketchy challenge #3 is my first for the weekly challenge blog. And my first truly personal project since March.

I’ve never done a layout from a sketch before, but this was interesting.

This LO gave me no small amount of trouble, but I’m still pretty amped about how well it turned out.

Bottle caps! I’ve been dying to use these things since I started scrapbooking. I was without a hammer or mallet to flatten them, plus I really wanted them to pop off the page. I cheated and cut up Styrofoam peanuts to use as filler for the inside of the caps. and I still had to pull a scrapbooking no-no and used superglue in some spots.

The green snakeskin paper, wanted to tear while applying my E-Z runner adhesive. I got it figured out by using a re-positionable runner instead of the permanent

The mask – it was too 3-d for it to stick very well, so I had to use the black circle to stabilize it so it would stay better.

I also had major problems getting the plastic cross stitch canvas to stay.
