Time for a New Challenge

 Hi everyone. Time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday  I can't believe 2 weeks have gone by already, and it is already mid-September.  Thanks to all of you who joined in to our Neat and Tidy challenge.

This time we are asking you to use your scraps.

 I am not so sure I love my page, but I certainly used my scraps.

It started with  this strip of pink paper that I tried to use one of those long Sizzix dies and punch out many circles. But for some reason most of the dots didn't cut. I guess I needed to pass it through my machine a few more times.  

I attached that pink strip and the small strip of flowered paper to a plain white sheet of watercolor paper. Then I scribbled some writing after stamping the old fashioned pen.

I had a page of black watercolor paper that I had started and really didn't like, so I used a tag die and ran it through my machine to cut out the black center tag.  Everything on this large black  tag was there when I cut it  except for the 3 little Janet Klein  flyers, which I stamped, colored and fussy cut. I added them just to make the tag seem more a part of the overall page. I had one die cut flower on my work table and snipped that in half to use here. 

I also used some leftover pink acrylic paint which I watered way down on the white to make it less stark.

I also had some pink dots which had cut all the way through, and I added some of those to the scribble part of my page.  I scalloped cut the left hand edge, did a bit of pen work, and then decided it already had too much going on. 

There you have it!

When I look at this page I think of someone writing in their journal in the garden, and the bees are buzzing around the flowers.

Be sure to stop by the designer's blogs to check out all the inspiration. 

Don't forget to link your scrap made art (of any kind) to the Try It on Tuesday website. I look forward to seeing it. 

As this page has texture, I am also linking up to Jo's art journaling challenge at  Art Journal Journey.
