Chemistry Homework: Alright students - grab your "chemicals" (mists) and let’s get creating!! 

You would need the following items for Chemistry class:

* cardstock
* mists
* various chipboard shapes or die-cut shapes (i.e. stars, butterflies, circles, flourishes, hearts, etc.)

Are we ready??? Let's start "experimenting"!!!

In today's class I want you to use mists and various chipboard shapes or die-cuts to create your own patterned paper background. Yes, of course there are TONS of great pre-made masks available on the market, but today we are going to use what's in our stash to create our own masks :)

 Emily's birthday party at the disco in Point Pleasant for kids!  Fun place.  The kids got to dress up (ok, Bryan you so don't have to take every dare presented to you), Michael was on crutches still from his run in with the wheel barrow, but still managed to have fun.  Elements were from a swap on SWAPS_THAT_WORK.  The girls on that group pull off amazing pieces.  Thanks to all of them for this layout going together so easily!

Another full page swap used up.  This one was created by Laurie for me to use.  I love getting double page swaps that I can put some photos on and journal a bit...and call it DONE.

Top page is my challenge from FTS this week: I used misting (chevron template) in upper left corner (didn't photograph too well), layered matting for two photos (thanks Annette for the mats), washi tape (red), ric rak (black) and hand journalling.

Bottom page...no challenges were used, but it was the rest of the match showing his pin and win, using the elements from Annette and K&Co wrestling stickers that I purchased off the scrap yard on facebook.

Here is the original challenge from FTS:

Week 19

Use 2: Multiple photo matting layers, Misting with a mask, monochromatic. Use 3: Washi tape, ric rac, something wood, a ticket, handwritten journalling

A page kit I purchased from A treasure box...and I love it.  Time consuming to put the 6-pages together from the set...but worth every second spent.

More photos from the pool party. Everyone was smiles and silly. Shout Out to Pauline for the complete layout spread, she piffed me a bunch of them. This one was actually meant to be an easter spread, but since we don't do easter in our family...I tweeked it, covered the stamped images and now it is a pool party layout.
