Today is Challenge #4 at Betterscrap....
Search your stash for sheets or scraps of paper that aren’t your favorites and that you might not reach for first, and use them on a layout!
Chose at least 2 of the following:
1. Use a 12×12 sheet of “ugly” paper as your layout background.
2. Use at least 3 scraps of “ugly” paper somewhere on the page where they can be seen.
3. Use 2 4×6 photos, any orientation.
4. Use “stitching” somewhere on the page. It can be actual sewn stitches, or your stitches can be hand drawn, created with a template, or stamped.
5. Use color mist (such as Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, or a homemade ink or paint mist) anywhere on your page
Here is my ugly paper layout.
The ugly paper challenge inspired me to create this layout for my oldest niece, Megan. I would have never used this background paper if not for this challenge. When I went through my scrap stash and put it all together, I love the way this turned out!
I used #1 to find a piece of “ugly” 12 x 12 background cardstock, #2 to use 3 scraps of “ugly” paper, and #3 use two 4X6 photos.
Supplies: papers are Making Memories, Colorbok, and Fancy Pants. Crate Paper chipboard, Close to My Heart inks, bling from Recollections, and flowers from Prima

For the fact that you had to use "ugly" paper, your layout turned out beautiful! Love all the colors and the bling. Great pictures of your niece. Always enjoy looking at pictures shot at the beach.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I have to say these papers aren't "ugly" at all... Way to rock the challenge and make them pretty! And those are some gorgeous beach photos!
ReplyDeleteIt may have started out as "ugly" paper, but it sure didn't end up that way at all. I am just totally loving this layout! Great job Kim!
