Challenge YOUrself July Steampunk Challenge #67

Hello everyone!  It's time for a super fun and different challenge from the Challenge YOUrself Blog!

Please be sure to head over to see all of the amazing layouts our Design Team has created for your inspiration along with info on challenge rules and prize info at the Challenge YOUrself Blog!

Here is my layout for your inspiration:

I used a photo from our trip to London last October, when we took a day trip to the city of Bath - it was soo very cool to tour the Ancient Roman Baths there - I thought it would be a great photo to use for this challenge.  I used lots of layers, paper tearing/distressing, a stencil with Nuvo Mousse and some chipboard gear elements for the Steampunk challenge.
Here are some close ups for you:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at the Challenge YOUrself Blog this month and I can't wait to see what YOU create!

Hi Everyone!   I will have the opportunity to attend a CROP in New Windsor, NY, for the first time, with a new bunch of ladies next month ( Oct 26-27,) and have been asked to be a guest designer / teacher while there!!  I am very excited to meet this group, and to be teaching this class!!

It will feature Graphic 45's HOT NEW "Steampunk Spells" Collection, (just in time for Halloween)  and it will be filled with lots of FUN techniques! This 2 page layout (SNEAK PEEK below,) also features, Flowers, Feathers, Gears, Gems, Punchinella, even a Spider and a Metal Key!!
  
Students will learn: Water Distressing, Paper Tearing, Edge Distressing (with Ranger's Distress Stains,) Stamping, paper layering, and how to get the most out of your patterned papers. All techniques that you can use over and over on future projects too!

I LOVE the colors in this G45 paper line and I'm happy with how this 2 page layout turned out!

If you are in the area, and are interested in attending - you do not need to attend the crop.  Just contact the organizer through the Meet Up Link to see if seating is still available.

PS - If any of you are attending Scrap-a-Doodle Doo's November 1-3rd Weekend Crop - I will be teaching this class there too!
