May challenge results

This month we met at Scrappin' in the City so that we could do a little shopping while we chatted :o) I have to say that every month I am just blown away by the creativeness of these girls! I don't think you saw a photo of last month's challenge pieces but they were:

about 12 various sized and colored shopping bags from different stores
4 cd's
a National Geographic magazine
a marble
a (used) dryer sheet
2 paper condiment cups
a wire coat hanger
and a plastic container

And here are the results

Cindy decoupaged the outside of a shoebox
using the coat hanger to make the lines and on the inside she cut up the cd's for the flower petals and the bag handles for the centers

Dana's piece was entitled "suspension" - LOVE the colors!
Cheri's was the most ingenious (and you can see what we had to work with)

You're not looking at a a badly taken photo - she colored it purple - why didn't I think of that???

Yvette continued with her love of sewing with a "quilted" wall hanging which must of course contain a bird


And Sherry's piece (a modern work of art!) is entitled "hidden messages"


It has the words from all the bags hidden in it.

(edited to add) Love the idea that Yvonne came up with - a "signs of the times" scrapbook to commemorate what's happening right now






Another great challenge ladies! And here are the items for next month.

Enjoy your summer!

Greetings creative divas!

I just got caught up on all your wonderful creations! I'm so envious of your talent! I miss the fun but honestly just don't have the time. I haven't even played with glass much lately with the wonderful boyfriend and the craziness of our company being bought filling up my days and nights. Keep up the great inspiration!
