~LCOM crop Projects & ATCs for Art Freckles

Lets Capture Our Memories threw an absolutely fabulous crop last weekend! Between shiftwork and household chores I still managed to get a few of the challenges done!

The "resist technique". I stamped with paint, let it dry, then misted with glimmermist and wiped off excess. Made a few cards with some of the pieces I stamped.
This challenge was called "Spring Rain". To use mist on a page....I misted with Tattered Angels blue mist. (Don't remember the exact color).

This is a neat technique by the DT member Dorrie. She called it the Gesso technique but without the Gesso on hand...the alternative was to use paint which I did. I glued 8 sheets of 8x8 newspaper together, painted the top with paint (or Gesso), let dry, color with watercolor pencils or crayons (I used some mist in there too), spray with water so it drips....making some really neat colors. Decorate as you wish once it's dry. I had fun getting a bit messy with this one!

These are a few of the ATC's I made for a swap over at Art Freckles

Eliminated! Boo hoo!

Well, my "I am" page did not make it! I am officially eliminated! Sure was fun though, some REALLY Fabulous pages this week for sure! Be sure to check out the LCOM forum and their great sketch blog for some fun challenges and contests! The girls there are a blast to hang out with!

So You Think You Can Scrap? LCOMs Contest

I am still playing along at LCOMs' "So You Think You Can Scrap" contest! What fun it has been, so challenging too!

The theme was "Playful"...this is my page of Taylor! She gets caught wearing her headband like this all the time! Hilarious!
Then came the theme "edgy". This is the page I made but was eliminated during this round!

A second chance to get back in the contest! The challenge to make a birthday card by a specified deadline! This is my card (for my nephew)....and Yeah...back in the competition!

This past weeks' theme is "About you" or "All about Me". This is the page I made. Some journaling on the pink inset paper .....Love Love Love Prima products so I used a lot of it on this page! Not sure if I made this round yet, but I am anxious to find out!
