I can do that! 

Dora Phillips

This month we continue our scrapping game series with one called "I can do that!"  Did you ever see the musical "A Chorus Line", or even the movie version?  One of my favorite songs includes the chorus of "anything you can do, I can do better, I can do anything better than you" and includes a flurry of a dance challenge where one person performs a series of steps and the next tries to imitate and challenge to go beyond.

We decided to try the same idea in scrapping.  Each team member brought 3 items to the scrapping table:  one technique, one product, and one inspirational picture.  The team members then had to draw from these 9 items on one page.  And just to make it a smidge more fun we mixed in a paper scrapper, hybrid scrapper, and digi scrapper on each team.  Have fun trying this with your scrapping gang!

Our team mixed in stitching, paper tearing and inking for our techniques and then added in brads, chipboard, and bling for our products.   You can see our 3 inspiration pictures combined below.  Can you find all 9 inspirations on each layout?

Design note: : I admit to being a bit worried at how I was going to do digitally what my partners were able to do with paper. I started with the inspiration pieces. I took the copper colors from the coins, the blocks made me want to try several layered journal spots, and the doodled cloud led me to a doodled title. From there, I dipped into the fabulous actions at Atomic Cupcake to make bling, stitches, chipboard, inking happen on my page. Thanks for the fun inspiration, team!

Design note: The biggest challenge for me was pulling inspiration from three different pictures. Once I started putting it together, it all just started flowing. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with my end result.
