June Featured Product Challenge: Chipboard

This month's DT product challenge is chipboard.

Since I have quite a bit of this in my stash (alphas, embellishments, etc.) I didn't have a hard time coming up with a layout using it.



I used Bazzill cardstock, Crate Paper patterned paper and chipboard shape, Pink Paislee chipboard letters and Sassafras letter stickers, all from the Shoppe.

What kind of chipboard do you like?

calling all twine lovers!

do you love twine as much as me? if you are, then you're in luck, as this month's featured product challenge is twine. here's what i made last week:

but my love for twine goes way back:
and if you don't have any, well pop into the shoppe or marcy's etsy and get some! then show us what you've made.

Featured Product Challenge

This month's featured product is something I'm sure you already have - border punches. It took me awhile to buy my first one - mainly because of the cost - but once I did I never looked back. I often use my Fiskars Threading Water punch on layouts already, so I challenged myself to use a different for this challenge. Of course, in the end, I still snuck in the Threading Water though ;)

Here's what the rest of the DT did:

Featured Product Challenge

This week's challenge is a Feature Product Challenge, where we'll choose a specific product for you to use on your layout. I was pretty excited to work with this month's product as I pretty much use them on every layout anyway. Here's my growing collection:
Figured it out? Yep, this month we're challenging you to break out those mists! For the most part, I use my mists pretty simply - I stick my paper in a box, and mist away. I never understood how people got those perfect splotches of mist on their layouts, until Marcy posted this tutorial on her blog. Duh! But I've never really tried using mists to mask, like these layouts:

Lisa Truesdell
Kelly Purkey

Perhaps that's what I should have done with this challenge, actually. Oh well. Anyway, here's what the DT came up with.

My layout. In case you can't see, I misted the cardstock with Studio Calico White Mister Huey, and I also misted each of the shipping tags a different colour - Pink Maya Mist, Sunshine Maya Mist and Lunchtray Mister Huey.

If I'm correct, Leigh used something other than conventional mists for her layout. You'll have to ask her how she did it though :)

Jen's layout - her blue misting gives that awesome pop of colour against the pink pp.

Come play along with us! Be sure to link your layouts to this thread if you have!
