Good Afternoon,
Welcome to week 27 of 52 Weeks of Technique, Tool and Supply Challenges! Each Tuesday throughout 2010, I will share a fun technique, tool or supply with you to encourage you to get busy, use your stash, try something new and be creative!
This week we explore creating with METALS!
OK...so I don't know about you but when I first starting scrapping I was completely taken by metal embellishments. I bought brads, eyelets, clips, charms, letters...anything metal! LOL! Well I amassed quite a collection and need to make use of it. So this week, I challenge you to use metal on your layout!
Here is my take on the challenge: Music at the Park. Dh at Centennial Park during the National Black Arts Fest. We were listening to a band in the park. Notice not only brads but the metal suspender hooks, buttons and letters.
Be Inspired. Make a layout and be sure to use METAL! PLEASE NOTE: TO BE ELIGIBLE YOUR LAYOUT MUST INCLUDE: Metal other than brads/eyelets...it can include them but must include other metal items as well and must be new as of July, 2010! Remember to POST your layout by Monday, July 12, 2010, 11:59pm eastern time here! It's easy...you can post in your own album, profile, blog or gallery and then just leave a comment and include the link url here. SOMEONE WILL WIN A PRIZE THIS MONTH! WOOHOO! JUST BE SURE TO PARTICIPATE AND LINK YOUR CREATION HERE BY THE DEADLINE. EACH WEEK YOU PARTICIPATE EQUALS AN ENTRY. THE MORE YOU ENTER THE MORE CHANCES YOU HAVE TO WIN! ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ENTERED TO WIN FREE SCRAPPIN' GOODIES FROM CLASSY COORDINATES! Have fun!

This didn't post in here, but it did on my page. I know it's after the deadline now...but I'm just trying to keep track of how many of these I can complete. Be well.

Below is the link to the page I want to enter for the Technique Tuesday #27 (metal mania) contest. On this page I used a metal plaque with a short poem engraved on it. I also used metal letters to spell out the word "love" on the bottom of the page, and used a metal tag to attach some ribbon to the left side of the photo. BTW, I really love these contests, as it allows me to create new ideas, and most importantly...find time to do what I love....SCRAP :)
Happy Scrapping!!

This layout is great. I am from Georgia and immediately recognized the park background (even though I have only been there a few times). You take good pictures as well. Sometimes that is the thorn in my side. Working on it though. I just bought my first set of metals today, so I will try to get something created and posted (it still takes me forever to make things).
