scrappy tuesday.

another challenge up on the blog this week. this time we're challenging you to alter your alphas.

to be honest, i had no clue what to do, until i spotted these white foam thickers (one of my fave alphas, by the way) and wondered if it would hold up to mist. well, here's your answer:

pp: girls paperie, my mind's eye, oct aftn
alphas: american crafts, october afternoon
punches: ek success round binding edge, fiskars threading water, martha stewart monarch butterfly
rubons: studio calico
mist: studio calico white + apple jack mister huey, maya road pink

a few things to point out:

1) please ignore what looks like white fluff in the top right. it is white fluff. from max. he likes to trample all over my layouts the second i put them on the floor to photograph, and i of course didn't notice until i uploaded it last night to the shoppe gallery, at which point it was too late to take another picture.

2) that chevron envelope? i'm totally in love. i actually forgot i had it until i was flipping through my stash looking for a journaling card. now i have to go back and buy more!

3) so although the alphas stood up to mist, i don't think my sewing machine did. i was a little eager to finish off my layout, so i don't think i waited for it to fully dry before passing it through my sewing machine. so the stitching is completely wacky - it pretty much tore through the alphas. because i knew i used the last one for most of those letters, i decided to heck with it, and just glued them back into place. can you tell?
