Prairie Chicks Scrapbook Challenge#12 - Tammy's

Welcome to challenge #12. We had a lot of fun with this challenge as we all had to use the same supplies that I had made up into a kit to make a layout. These are the supplies we used.



Steve's Pages from Sugar Tree - Brick
Anna Griffin- floral paper
brown twine
canvas tag- Canvas Corp LLC
Tim Holtz idea-ology- Journaling Ticket
Creative Expressions- Antique Ruler Twill tape
Prima Marketing- Decorative Wood Embellishments clocks
Cream cardstock 12x12 (not shown)

The rules are that you have to use at least a little bit of all items in the kit, you could use stamps, ink, embossing powder, paint or any kind of medium but you could not add paper or other embellishments to it.

Here is Tammy's layout:


At first glance it looks like Tammy cheated by using buttons and a file folder but no she created these with the cream cardstock from the kit. She also did some stamping on the canvas tag.
