FM 173 - School Themed Project

For this weeks Friday Mashup I had to think real hard to come up with something. I do not have any children and I couldn't think of a school themed project for my university. So I thought of my friend who is a teacher. Don't you think a welcome banner for all her new students would be fantastic? I hope the banner brings a smile to all her students faces.

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project with " a School theme". 

2. Create a project with "Your School Colors".

3. or Mash it Up! and create a "School themed project with your school's colors". 

I used the chalk talk framelits to create the holes for the ribbon to weave through.

FM 172 Color Combo & Wood Element

Sometimes when you start making something it turns out different than you imagined. I started casing a layout of a card I liked and in the end it looks nothing even remotely like the card I was looking at. In fact I didn't even end up making a card. At the last minute I had a brilliant idea to turn the element I was going to add to a card into a cake topper. This helped me to mashup this weeks challenge. 

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project with " Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black & Whisper White". 

2. Create a project with a "Wood Element".

3. or Mash it Up! and create a " Project using the colors above & a Wood element".

FM171 Punch Art & Pom Poms

This week it was my turn at the Friday Mashup and I decided to hop on the Pom Pom Trend that is coming up. Since I love Punch Art I thought they would be a perfect match. Little did I know when I went to create a project they were much harder to put together.
