Weekly Challenge

This week's challenge comes from our April Guest, Melissa Mann. Here's what she had to say:

Hey everyone! I'm excited to bring you this week's challenge. I have been noticing a good bit of projects lately that have used the tone-on-tone technique. I have done this myself by punching a shape out of pattern paper and then placing it on top of the pattern paper with pop dots. I used this technique on one of my layouts in the March gallery for Story Hour. I also whipped another quick layout using the Illustrated add-on, Atlas add-on, and the Narrative add-on that used this technique but instead of using pattern paper, I used some Kraft card stock. I punched out a bunch of hearts and again used foam circles to adhere them to the upper half of my layout. So, this week, create something that uses that tone-on-tone look and link it up!

Great challenge Melissa! We hope you'll play along this week. Post your layout to the Studio Calico gallery and link them here by March 12th for your chance to win an SC gift card.

I don't think I've tried this before but I gave it a go! I hope it's ok that I did it with PP not cardstock. Here's my layout:

I could not help notice that "Kaleb" is spelled the same way as I spell my "Kaleb's" name. GREAT Layout.
