Craft Hoarders Anonymous

Happy Saturday. This is going to be a super quick post as our day is jam-packed. Mostly for Santiago, but of course it inevitably involves the entire family. He just left for an art camp this morning and then leaves the camp early to head out to his first soccer game of the season (if I had had the schedule I never would have enrolled him in the camp...but isn't that just how things go!), and then we leave the soccer game to have a Game Night with a bunch of friends. Between three of the families, our kids range in age from 4 to 9 and get along super well, so it's really just lots of fun when we get together like this. I have a feeling we're going to have some exhausted kids tonight...ok, ok I probably will be too!

On to scrappy matters...I finally got a chance to play along with Craft Hoarders Anonymous...it's been awhile! Their January challenge is to pick (1) from each category from the below chart.

Coloring Medium	Fiber	Technique	Texture	Embellish
Ink	Twine or Cord	Coloring/ Watercolor	Sandpaper or Distressing Tool	Ephemera or Found Items
Markers or Colored Pencils	Fabric or Lace	Stamping	Embossing (heat, dry, paste, etc.)	Buttons
Spray Mist	Ribbon or Seam Binding	Die Cutting or Punching	Chipboard	Flowers
Paint	Burlap or Canvas	Folding and Scoring	Wood or Glass	Brads or Eyelets
Chalk or Pastels	Yarn, Thread, or Floss	Mixed Media	Metal or Wire	Bling**

And here's my layout...

From the chart I used Spray Mist (splattered on the background), Thread (on the buttons), Punching (the banners were made from a Punch), Distressing Tool, and Buttons.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your Saturday!!
