A Lunchtime Scrap N' Chat

I was so glad rain was in the forecast for today. I really wanted to go to the noontime Scrap N' Chat hosted by Dancing Princess at GoDigitalScrapbooking.

During the course of the Chat, 20 words were given, typed in CAPS, that scrappers needed to copy down. The words were only given once. We were tasked with using as many of the prompts to complete a cohesive page. The person who was able to use the most prompts would win a gift card to the Dancing Princess Designs shoppe.

The chat was lots of fun, and I wasn't able to collect all twenty. I got 17 words, so I thought I was in good shape. I finally finished up my page with two minutes to spare. Here is what I came up with using: realistic flowers, paper, swirls, greenery, paper flowers, fasteners, brads, clipping mask, title, journaling, ribbon, and a date. I just couldn't squeeze any more on the page. The other items I could have chosen were: chipboard, inked/chalked edges, circles, wordart, buttons.

I will definitely do more of these chats. They are planned for the 4th Wednesday of every month at GoDigitalScrapbooking

This is the page I came up with -- photos I had been wanting to scrap for a while. I wanted to extract several poses of Little Miss in search of Stubby, but I just couldn't make it work. My favorite part is clipping my photo to some swirls in the kit to give the look of ripples of water in a puddle.




and here is what I used to make this page, all available at GDS
