Hello friends!
I've been asked to join the fantastic challenge blog Inspiration Elevator.
About the group:
Inspiration Elevator was created to take our scrapbooking to the next level, to stretch our creative process and to grow as artists by embracing challenges that make us think, work and grow.
You can view all of the Inspiration Elevator challenges by clicking here or check our our new Inspiration Elevator Blog, here.
This month, our challenge comes from the talented Laura Whitaker.
Laura's challenge, in her own words, is as follows:
"As we welcome spring, scrap something to do with a new beginning, it could be an opportunity, a relationship, or even the world's reawakening after it's long winter's nap. Don't forget to journal and describe why you have chosen your topic."
We would also like to welcome our May Guest Designer, Denise Morrison. Her arsty, eclectic style inspires her followers to see how "Life is Yummy" at her blog!
(Also? I LOVE her work!!!)
I hope you will stop by and see what our designers on this adventure have created:

Here's my take on this month's challenge:
 |
| I work at a small tv tray table as my large desk has been completely taken over by supplies "organized" in a way to make them all visible at once. Yeah Michelle- pull the other one- it's got bells on. Anyway that's why my photo is crooked. I channeled my inner Louise Nelson for this page. It's now hanging next to my scrap desk- the colors and that lucky insta photo capture make me happy. |

| MATERIALS: Crane's 8.5x11 "sea glass" paper American Crafts roses brads Dylusions Ink Spray in Vibrant Turquoise (super diluted- I LOVE this stuff!) Liquitex soft body acrylic in Orange Mister Huey in white Paper Source thick vellum American Crafts Dear Lizzy brads American Crafts Amy Tan Thickers Krylon Gesso Spray (O.M.G this stuff is AWESOOOME! But STINKY!) |
 |
| Inspiration elevator challenges are all about candid truth and digging deep. I'm sorry, I'm a FREAK for spring. I tend think happy pink thoughts if I write about it. I'll get more insightful next month? The dog ate my homework? LOL! So. GLAD. it's. FINALLY. SPRING! |
Thanks for stopping by!
Please swing by the other blogs and consider joining in on the fun!
Have a great week!
Michelle
