Progressive Blog Hop - Full Reveal!

Hopefully by now you have had a chance to hop around all the DT blogs to get a feel for what a progressive blog hop is. We all started with Joanne's fabulous sketch:

Then as you hopped along you found out what all the other designers added to our little mixing pot.
I added striped paper, Jayne added something wet like mist, paint etc, Christa added stitching, Carolyn asked us to distress our layout somehow, Ann asked us to add a quote and Amanda asked us to complete our layouts with 3 buttons.

And here is my final layout:

 

I distressed with ink and tearing around my edges for Carolyn's addition.

You can also see the red Mr. Huey's mist I splattered around to comply with Jayne's challenge

 

In this close up you can see the teensy buttons I used to fulfill Amanda's requirement.

 

Here is my striped paper with the stitching Christa asked for

 

And lastly here is the quote for Ann's challenge.

 

This was such a fun and challenging way to complete a layout!

I used Simple Stories for most of this layout, the background

paper is from the Basic Grey 'Hipster' collection.

 

I hope you enjoyed the TSF Hop and get a chance to play along!

Progressive Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook friends

Never heard of a progressive Blog Hop before?  Well, its brand new for us too!

In addition, if you accept the challenge and create a design of your own and upload it to the Two Scrapbook Friends Gallery by 11:59 pm on May 31st, you will be eligible to win ANOTHER fabulous prize!

Finally, all the FINISHED TSF/Designer creations will be revealed on the Two Scrapbook Friend's blog on Monday, May 6th. 

The hop began with Joanne's sketch:

So I took Joanne's sketch and added STRIPED paper. I started my layout with some basic elements to get a feel for how I would interpret the sketch. Of course I had to use the new Simple Stories "24/7" collection for this challenge!

Now you can head on over to Jayne's blog and see what fabulous element she has added to the sketch and striped paper.
