CHALLENGE TIME!

Better late than never!  Although I didn't get finished, we went ahead with the reveal.  When I visited last week with +LaDenna Lawrence  we started this challenge as a side by side one. Then I brought it home and we finished separately.  

The challenge was to use a block of Styrofoam (I wish I had a pic).  And we had to make a mini album to go with it.  
This is the front of the "book".  I glossy accented the butterflies and glittered the flowers.  Still have some work to do on it before it's done.

 We carved out a place to put the mini album.  I still have some embellishing to do throughout.
  This is the album inside.  Tonight was the first time I put the album inside and TRIED to close the book.  Epic fail!  It wouldn't close-the flower is too bulky.  So, back to the drawing board!  lol
This is the cover of the album.

The following are a few of the pages.  Like I said, still a lot of work to do on it.  I will post a follow-up when I complete it.





This week was also our monthly card challenge.  Since we do a month ahead, this month we did 4th of July cards.  I always make cards to send to my grandkids on all the holidays.  That's where these are going with a little surprise tucked inside.

 I do like how these turned out.  In the pics you can't see how sparkly they are.  I used Cricut cuts to embellish.

Next week's challenge (my choice) consists of using stove burner pans (1 and/or 2) and Cricut cuts to decorate them.
This will be interesting!  Join me back next Thursday for the reveal!  : )

As always, thank you for taking the time to stop by.  It's always nice having visitors and comments!
Have a wonder weekend!
