a change - challenge 20



Ok so we have done a few challenges in the time we have been here. I have been throwing around an idea which Sue, Meredith and myself have liked.....i haven't been able to catchup with Tiff to run it past her but hopefully she will be ok with this idea. We will have a get together soon and plan some challenges and that way will have some examples each week to show.





So the challenges are going to go a bit like this......... one week the theme might be ric-rac and you must use this on your page. Fabric might be another, brackets another week or maybe even paint.




So by doing this we are encouraging us all to either try new things on our page OR pull out bits from our stash that have been sitting there waiting patiently to be used.




so this week......................




*drum roll*



it is ...........



pen dots.



Yep you heard me right. Get out your pen and start dotting up your page. This week i would like to see some dots on your page. This can really emphasise areas and make them POP!




This example of mine is almost a total scraplift (so nice to scrap and NOT think!) from Heather Bowser from the Aug. issue of Scrapbook Trends.




The She page is VERY OLD but another example of dots. You do not have to use black cardstock here - it looks equally effective on any colour. Just ensure the colour pen will stand out strongly against the background.
NOTE = this isn't a dotty paper challenge - we all know how to use that fairly well already i reckon ;-)
get to it!
