APR07VSBNQ - original embellishment
Welcome to your next adventure at our Nature Spa Weekend! In this challenge you will need to think "outside of the box". We want you to create an original embellishment to use on your layout (single or double). This embellishment will need to compliment your outdoor photos. You will get bonus points if you use a "piece of nature" in your embellishment.
Have fun with this challenge and let your imagination run wild. I can't wait to see your creations!
Examples: twigs to frame your photo, torn cs to look like dirt or water, waves or water drops created with beads, vellum, embossing, use a photo taken of nature to create an embellishment, etc.
In my example layout: I used twigs, rocks and an stamped image for my title block, altered twill tape with an inkpad and stamped ants on it, and I used small, smooth rocks to add dimension around my journaling circles.
DON'T forget to upload your pages with the keyword APR07VSBNQ

Well, I'm working on another 'non-challenge' page. If I use an original embellishment on this, will it count?

I'm using my Zig 2 way glue pen to attach the buttons. It seems to be working pretty well. I just hope they stay attached.:rolleyes:

I don't have any of those. I went into ACMoore last week to get a couple of adhesive refills so I wouldn't run out at the crop. (I could have bought CM adhesive at the crop, but I already have 2 different kinds of dispensers and didn't want another different kind right now.) And I picked up some glue dots they had on sale, too. But when I got to the check-out line, I was about the third person in line, there was only one line open, and then the cashier left to try to do something for the lady she was checking out. I finally just put the stuff down and left. I hate doing that, but I had to pick up the girls and there was no excuse for them to have only one register open. :(
