In the weekend I found a whole lot of photos (of various sizes) I had printed from Creative Adventure Downunder 2013 (CAD). I also had a Teresa Collins flip book I bought last year. Time to put that baby to good use! The thing I enjoyed about this project was that I used only leftover items from the class kits from CAD and pieces of memorabilia and, believe it or not, my official lanyard (the thing you wear around you neck to show that you belong somewhere). Pretty chuffed with that. Please remember that I only used leftovers and such so it is a very simple mini - I like the photos to be the centre of attention anyway.
Please excuse the piece of tissue covering my full name! The frame was from a Heidi Swapp class, the paua is from a Maggie Armstrong class and the flowers are leftovers from a class from SENZ 2013. Inside the frame is the plastic holder from my lanyard with my name tag from CAD13. If you look closely you will see pink ribbon peeking out the sides of the frame - this was the ribbon from my lanyard! You will see it more clearly on the next picture.
That's me and the BFF. I missed CAD this year as I went to Italy instead (tough call!). I plan on being there next year though. In this photo you can see the ribbon from my lanyard and the decorated (teal) piece is from a badge swap from one of the ladies at CAD13 (I can't take credit for that). The ribbon on that covers her location.
Here's the list of challenges and why this project fits:
A Blog Named Hero - #54 Recycle It. The details are here . This project definitely uses recycled items - leftovers from my classes at SENZ and CAD as well as my lanyard.
Inspiration Emporium - In Disguise. The details are here . My interpretation of this theme is that my lanyard is in disguise. It is not a lanyard anymore - it is used as decorative elements instead now.
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - # Anything Goes. The details are here . This one needs no explanation.
Materials:
Heidi Swapp - Frame, Banners, Stickers, Letters; Bazill - Stickers; Ranger - Glossy Accents, Liquid Pearls; Ink - Stampin' Up!, Other - Bling, Lanyard, Flowers, Paua.
It sounds like you had a wonderful experience at CAD. (I'm sure that Italy was awesome too!) You've created a wonderful little album. I like that you incorporated that badge. Very nicely done! Thank you for sharing your art with us this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. It was a pleasure visiting your blog.~Michelle

Thanks Michelle! CAD was amazing and it was really nice to spend the weekend with the BFF as well doing something we both love.
DeleteBoy, I bet that was a tough call {wink} I can only imagine Italy was wonderful! Looks like you had a great time at CAD with a great friend! I love that you've incorporated so many different pieces from that special event to make this mini! Your project fits in perfectly with our "in disguise" challenge at Inspiration Emporium, thank you for sharing! Bobbi xx
ReplyDeleteYes, Bobbi , it was a tough call (wink)! I wasn't sure If my project would fit the 'in disguise' challenge - thanks for getting my interpretation.
DeleteWhat a cute mini! And a great way to use all the leftover pieces! ;-) Thanks for playing along with us at A Blog Named Hero!
