Monday night is challenge night

Monday evenings - one of my favourite times of the week. It's the Simon Says challenge AND the Compendium challenge. 

This week, both of them involve grunge. Check out the links for all the details. I have managed to combine both in one tonight, which given what else I need to get done this week, is a plus! 

Linda has us on page 53 this week, under the terms of the challenge I can't tell you how I did this technique but I can say I cut the shape out of grungepaper with my alterations die and the movers and shakers to make hangy holes!

Simon says this week, "show your grunge" and most of what I have used tonight is grungepaper, the base shape, the lion (from Tim's mini classics set- never stamped him before - he's CUTE!) - and the sentiment (wendy V) is stamped on grungepaper and attached with the tiny attacher (mainly cos the glue won't stick, lol)    It's probably time I showed you what I made, instead of burbling on, sorry!

I finished it with a memo pin holding an adage ticket, grunged up with the paper distresser (and my fingers!) and glued it into the lion's hands - sorry, paws! Used a couple of swivel clasps for the hangy mechanism.

I had more trouble photographing it with the flash bouncing off the ink, than I did making it!!  This is the best I could get - look at the one I tried without flash.... just for a laugh!

Linda was right, I LOVE this week's compendium technique - so much I think I'm going to go and make something else!! 

Both challenges are offering some great prizes from their sponsors, so thanks to them for their generosity.
