Yesterday was the first day of the online class I'm taking with Shimelle. She challenged us to use some of the metal we have in our current stash so I went looking...
This is the cover for the book that will be completed over the course of this class. Maybe I'm in a rut...but I love the look of Kraft paper and that's what I plan to use throughout my book.
Not too bad...I ended up with 11 brads, a metal arrow, and a book plate on this page. I must say I rarely use metal in my projects, but I really like the look of it and will definitely be using more in the future. Heaven knows I have PLENTY of it to spare..
My flowers were made by using a punch and pages from an old book I destroyed [re-purposed]. Then I crumpled the flower, flattened it back out, inked it, layered it, stuck a brad in the middle.

This was fun!
Can't wait to see what Friday's challenge holds!

Deb, this is *beautiful*!! Wow! Stunning! (And other terms of admiration x)
Really lovely, love the use of the brads on the flowers. Anesha
It looks great - if this is what you just throw together with what you have lying around, I am doubly impressed!!!
Best,
Stephanie
Love the look... I like metal, but don't have any of it... how funny we are opposites.. or should I say "were" since you will be using it more. :-)
I need to look into those online classes... I think it "makes" you get something done.. :-)
Great job! Always an adventure to look at your blog! I love the little flowers!! xo
This is beautiful! I love the kraft with the red and turquoise. And great job using that metal! I found 5 book plates yesterday in my stash! I was shocked by how easy it was to pull together stuff for a mini ablum.

I love the look of Kraft, too. That's one trend I don't intend to tire of! It's a fab page..I really like the metal book plate.
Oooh, just my kind of page. I love the look of kraft card, distressed flowers and simple layouts. It looks stunning!
I love the simplicity of your page and the flowers are great..... I have a couple of books that are falling apart and I plan to 'repurpose' them in a similar way!
Gorgeous. :) Ahh..I really wish I had the time to devote to this class, otherwise I would of signed up with you. It looks like a lot of fun. I guess I'll have to just live vicariously through your work. ;)
Miss ya, Deb!

Love your usage of the metal, and those flowers are so pretty! I love the look of using text paper for flowers. Beautiful work!
That's a great cover, love the use of the flourish stamps, flowers and brads plus other metal bits and bobs. Also love the colours you've used. Fantastic!

Deb this is such a fantastic page - by the time yours was up on the forum it was very crowded so I thought I would comment here :-) I love the colours you have chosen ... I'm always partial to kraft!
looks great deb. i love the contrast of all the metals with the kraft paper. beautiful. i am hoping to tackle these two challenges this weekend.
Oh how fabulous that you are taking another class from Shimelle. I would love to but have so many projects that I just can't take on anything else :)
Have fun and your LO is delightful.
