other late night of loud music and squealing teens. But the parents are finally back so sleep will be most welcome...Two Lo's today. The first is for Irini's challenge suite - Get Creative. I scored two fav mentions there last month - one for my card- startling to say the least!!
Anyway, this weeks challenge is to list 12 elements in your Lo. Huh, counting this early in the year - tricky...
let's see
1. cardstock
2. pp
3. mist (woodgrain mask)
4 photos
5. aeroplane button
6. title
7. stamping
8. tape sticker
9. hessian string
10. home sticker
11. stitching
12. staples
Lots of challenges this month at Get Creative, with the cool prize being a guest designer at Get Creative. Very talented and friendly bunch of girls there. (am very keen on the latest challenge - a digi Lo - love my digi).
And Over at The Paper Variety, they have had the very good idea of having my completely wonderful (and possibly slightly evil...) friend, Tina, as thier guest designer for the month.
The challkenge is to use black and white with a kiss of colour. In explanation, this Lo is reflecting my mood of jealously, that our close friends are currently in Vietnam and we are not. Sigh. For me, Vietnam is tied up with the colour red, so that seemed a likely colour to go with the photo.
This was the last day we spent in Hanoi, out side Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum. Vietnamese line up for hours to view his preserved body (we didn't). They also had a live broadcast outside. The choir they had did some wonderful (or not) miming. Very funny. It was getting cold, Henry was wearing two scarves. Not quite ready to go home but we had to. Would love to be somewhere interesting again.
Have a great day and don't forget to go check out the latest challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge site. xx
