Cool Challenge #4 ~ Steam - Peter Gabriel.
The hottest trend to come out of CHA has got to be Steampunk! Your challenge this week is to find a way to meld the past with the future in a LO. As Steampunk melds the Victorian era with science fiction, what can you find from the past that meshes with your future?
Required Item:
This week's required item is Metal. You must use something metallic in your Layout.
Here's a sample layout from Amanda:

| A note from Amanda: I'm not sure how "steampunk" this really is now that it's finished... but it is an old layout, using a key and a little vintage looking right?! This photo is of my grandparents and my thoughts about the photo. From Flamingo Scraps: Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante patterned papers, Prima white flower and Say it in Crystals with Flowers bling. Other supplies used: American Crafts grey thickers and presicion pen, Martha Stewart ribbon loop punch and Making Memories metal heart, key and word "love" |

I think you made a mistake in the date this is due by. Other than that, sounds like a fabulous challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove the layout Amanda. Simply love the cluster of bling and metal!
ReplyDeleteI think I need do some more research into Steampunk since I don't know the ins and outs of it.
ReplyDeleteYour journaling makes me cry too. Wish my grandparents were still around also.
Oh I love your LO Amamnda!
ReplyDeleteCORRECTION! THE DUE DATE ON THIS CHALLENGE IS AUGUST 29, 2010. Thanks Celina for catching this!

ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love love love love that lo!!!! Great challenge! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeletefab LO!!! neat concept to add metal...
ReplyDeleteAlready Thursday and I cannot come up with an idea for this! Aagh! I have ideas to blend the past with the present, but I just can't work the future in. I'll keep thinking. :)
ReplyDeleteI completed the challenge! My LO is definitely NOT steampunk, but I did combine the past and future and worked in some metal. This was a real challenge for me, but I'm happy with the result.
ReplyDeleteI just went back and checked my link- the first one wasn't working, so I linked it again and now it works. I don't see a way to remove the first one. Sorry about that!
