Yesterday while checking out challenge land for inspiration one challenge really popped out at me. The theme this week is A Loaded Envelope. What on earth is one of those? Well checking out the challenge site educated me. It also took my fancy and today I tried it out.
My take is that like a junk journal you fill and/or cover an envelope with all sorts of bits that you like and want to keep. There is at the bottom of this pile an envelope but you'll perhaps have to take that on trust. On my worktop there was a stack of lovely bits and pieces that had previously been cut, stamped, embossed and then not used!!!! What better than use these treasures for my project. A couple of stamped images had to be fussy cut and one also needed colour adding. Then they all had to be compiled in a pleasing way, stuck together and eventually stuck on/in the envelope, It was great fun and a delight to finally showcase all the lovely bits and pieces.
Yesterday I mentioned making a mess, well that was on a journal page. The mess is now the background for today's project that has been glued on.
The challenge at the root of this is TGIF #353 Project Challenge - Loaded Envelope. Thank you for introducing me to such a fun thing to do.
Thought I'd share this with
