Awesome and Bright Ideas!

Hi!  I'm super excited because I have finally taken the step to challenge myself with my scrapbooking.  I've noticed I've taken a "too familiar" approach to my layouts lately, so I thought I'd try something different and out of the box.  I signed up for Studio Calico's Bright Ideas class, and I'm SO glad I did!  I'm already finding tons of inspiration and new ideas/techniques to incorporate into my layouts.  I look forward to seeing where the class will take me by the end of the month.

The first challenge was to create something by using stenciling.  I chose to do a layout about my son dressed as HIS version of a super hero.  He's pretty awesome.

I feel it's a little plain still, and I might add more later, but the title itself is quite overwhelming, so I didn't want to make the layout too heavy.

I used one of the cut files from the class to make the stencil with my Cameo and misted with brown and silver.  The silver doesn't show up too well in the photo, but you can see it in person, I promise.

I'm going to try and keep up with the challenges as best as I can, but 5 layouts a week is a lot!
