A challenge for a cheese box

Hey, we're on a 2-week challenge to create a piece of art using striped paper and a rectangle frame over on the EWV Yahoo group.  Why don't you join us?  The deadline isn't until Tuesday night.

I took this cheese box

4.25" in diameter



and added some striped paper, the leftover piece of crepe paper ribbon roses (scalloped strip), and a chipboard rectangle frame and came up with this.

After I glued the 2 chipboard frames together (for more depth) I covered them with Fired Brick Distress Ink.  See the areas without ink?  That's the glue that I got all over the frames - oops!  But I love the distressed look so I'm keeping it just like that!  Amazing how a messy finger can make something cool - lol!

Our community garden walk was last weekend.  I selected 12 photos, made 13 playing cards (the title page is one) and created a rather unique keepsake of the day.

Don't forget to scrap your garden photos!  It will help you remember how nice (or not) the garden looked this year, what to plant (or not) next year, color combos you want to try again (or not), etc.
