Flaunt It Fridays Ch# 7 - Mini Monsters

Hello all my bloggy friends!
This week over at FLAUNT IT FRIDAYS
we are asked to FLAUNT the SKULL & CROSSBONES on page 65.

I had a very hard time trying to figure out how to use this cut. Which is why they call this a “Challenge”, right? LOL

When I looked at the cut, it kept reminding me of Pirates and Treasures and Treasure Maps. So I went with the Treasure idea and made a Custom Binder Cover for my 3-ring Pink Binder. This binder has all my important TREASURES in it. A 2011 calendar with my schedule; a list of team members and contact info for both my challenge blogs (Paper Playtime and Flaunt It Fridays), ideas of Paper Project Types, and instructions I find in blogland of items I want to make.

  • Pink cardstock background from stash (it's actually from a Christmas bundle of cardstock a friend sent me)
  • Green paper at bottom from Recollections ALL GIRL
  • Ribbon from Michaels
  • Purple paper from stash
  • All other papers for cuts from Recollections Colored Core
  • MINI MONSTERS Skull p. 65 cut @ 2 1/2”
  • FOREVER YOUNG Model 1 page 24 cut @ 6”
  • FOREVER YOUNG “details” p. 26 cut @ 1”
  • A CHILD'S YEAR font used for “My Treasures”. “M” and “T” cut @ 3” all other letters cut @ 1 1/2”

We hope you pop over to FLUANT IT FRIDAYS and play along with us!

Hugs, :) Janis

  9. Janis, I love your project for this week. I love that you altered a three ring notebook. It really does not look like you are having trouble coming up with ideas:)
