SBC February's Alterered Challenge
   Can you believe I made this page from TRASH! Well, Believe it! :)

  Let me start from the begining because the website I am about to tell you about is great! Mutiple fun monthly challenges with a great monthly prize, hundres of fun page floorplans, a scrapbooking forum, TONS of good stuff!

   O k, as always, I was snooping around the internet, looking for neat scrap stuff and stumbled upon ScrapbookChallenges.com. I was intrigued. I clicked on the challenges and there where a plethera of great floorplan challenges, challenges that tested your creativity, and more. I chose the altered challenge. The objection was to keep with the SBC's monthly theme (relationships) and use things you would normally throw out, on a page. This was exciting yet difficult for me because I save everything. LOL!

The materials I used in my pretty page
So once i had my mission I began gathering neat little treasures. The "vine" is a shredded cardbord piece that  I got out of a package from work. (It was like a filler for  in the box) I saved some dryer sheets because the texture kinda reminded me of a softer tule.  Tops to a few boxes that wine glasses came in. And of coarse, news paper.  

   I added some pretty papers and some nice journaling in the corner and sweet picture of my love and I. A few rub ons (a new endevour for me as well), and some hot glue, I was done. Super simple and so cute!

   SBC hasn't posted the winners yet but either way i'm so happy with the page! I plan to use the rest of my supplies on other projects. I've got LOTS of ideas! :)

   So I encourage you to check it out and try something new!! March's new challenge is All About Me. I'm giving myself a personal goal to used some kind of mixed media..
