Anyway on to the this weeks challenge.....

This week's Designer Challenge: Focus on Style - Retro, Shabby or Heritage. What is your style? Bring it on!!! Use a vintage design in your projects (layouts or cards) this week.

 Colour Palette is this fun one......


You Colour my World..... well where did I get my inspiration from??? Seeing as tho I wasn't around in this era I didn't have any suitable photos to scrap about....so to me when I see pictures like these I always imagine how fun, loud and colourful life must have been, pretty much what these little boys have brought into my life.  Vintage...well not really great at creating vintage layouts but I had a go....


Using some yummy prima flowers and prima vine with some Tim Holtz film....


Some Tim Holtz vintage stickers and metal clock face...



And lastly my paint brush and nib.  I can't take credit for this idea as I had seen it somewhere..not sure where now...sorry...but I stored it away for future reference.  A few days before I started this layout I received a Tim Holtz nib thingy in the mail with one of my kits....the light bulb went off and I knew exactly how I was going to use it....just attached it to an old paint brush.



The sponsor for this month is Miss Art's Papercrafting School. The prize is 2 Extra Credit 30-day Subscriptions, which will grant the winner access to all of our classes, live chats, contests, and more during a 30-day period. Each subscription is a $15 value. Submit your newly created projects - layout or card (we want to see more cards!) with this week’s combo before the deadline, midnight Wednesday, USA Eastern time, each challenge week for a chance to win the prize giveaway! Our current time is displayed on the right sidebar on the main page, plus there is a countdown timer as well.

Would LOVE to see some of my followers have a go....its not scary just remember that you can use little bits of white, black or kraft with this colour combo.

Sorry for such a long post...will be back later to put up the Stuck Sketches July 1st sketch and the Purple Pumpkin sketch challenge.

Thanks for visiting and for your wonderful comments :)))
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
