You Layout

Eniko over at Let's Scrap issued a challenge to scrap in a style unlike your usual. I think I'm a mixture of a couple of different styles, but one thing I definitely am not is a "grungy" scrapper, so I decided to give it a try. I'm not too sure how successful I was, but here's the list of what I tried to incorporate.

• Embellishments are often metal (rusty, worn or otherwise aged) - I added staples and brads that I sanded to make look old.
• Deep, dark-colored, (often autumn palette) distressed papers.
• Photos are often black & white and usually slanted & layered with other elements
• Lots of dark inking & severe distressing - well, it's severe compared to my usual!
• Masculine feel, with a creative slant - yes!


Thanks, Eniko, for a fun challenge that made me try something new. Other challenges I'm entering include:
Scrap It With a Song: be inspired by Whitney's Houston's I Will Always Love You
Paper Secrets: use the word "you" in your title or journaling. I did both!

    This is great! I generally feel that when j go outside my comfort zone I really like the results (maybe because I have to work harder at it). I think you have a winner here!
