Studio Challenges: Every Path has it's Puddle

Hello there! Today I'm here with a new challenge from Studio Challenges: Half patterned paper. You are to make half your page with patterned paper.

I took creative liberties with mine and turned it into an 8x8 GeoGlobe circle (from TheCutShoppe) instead of a large rectangle.

I am also playing along this month with ScraptheBoys: Dirt challenge.

The title is a mixture of font I purchased from The Hungry JPEG.

"Every parent should have a special photo of their child playing in mud puddles. It's the essence of childhood."

A charm from Tim Holtz collections

I added stitching to give a "break" to the large globe.

Supplies:

BoBunny - MammaRazzi 2, Et. Cetera

Bazzil Basics - Stitching Template

GeoGlobe - TheCutShoppe

Tim Holtz charm

Wooden Arrow

Charm from HL

Black felt star

Font from The Hungry JPEG

Cork Star

Gold Star

Book Nerd.

It's rather "freeing" to make a page about an object. I was able to use paper I don't normally reach for when scrapping about my son or myself. It was also fun to really mix it up with the embellishments as well.

I made this page for my Scrapbook.com challenge, "Not to be Squared". Making our main mat on the layout a rectangle(s) or square(s) is easy. A lot of us love it when a crafter gets a bit "crazy". So far, the challenge has been a HIT!

I really wanted the title to be "A bit of light reading" but I couldn't seem to get my head around something that long. So I chose the title from TheCutShoppe instead. Ashley Horton is the queen of stepping away from squares.

My husband gets these intense books about engineering and literally says they are easy reads. Whatever. . . . .

Thanks for stopping by today!!!
