Happy June.  It's the 1st Monday of the month, so that means it's time for a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  This time the challenge is "Alter Something".  Our sponsors this time around are

Vacation Journal

It's the last Thursday in February.  And time for the next Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge (#270) at Sassy Studio Designs.  This week the challenge is a Tic Tac Toe challenge.

I used the center vertical line.  But then realized that I also had the bottom horizontal line covered.  I made a "Vacation Journal" this time around.

Bride Journal

June is here. So I've moved over as a SSD DT member to the Flashback Friday team at Sassy Studio Designs. This week we have the great image "Bella Bride" as inspiration.  It's available in the SSD Store at a discount price this week.  I decided to make something other than a card this time around.
I made a what I'd call a "Bride's Journal".

Homework Journal

Well summer is almost over. And it's time for the kids to go back to school. My nephew started 3rd grade this week and my niece is now a junior in high school.  ( I remember when she was going to 3rd grade.)
So this week there's a new digital image at the Hambo Hoedown to go along with the "Back to School" theme.  It's "School Dog" and the challenge is to create a project that is "school themed".  This is what I made.

When I saw the image, I thought, this would be perfect for a "Homework Journal".  And that is what I made.

I adhered the DP/cardstock to the cover with Rubber Cement. I popped up the image on homemade black foam squares.

This was a fun project and challenge.  If you've taken a break from crafting for the summer or if you haven't joined in the fun at the Hambo Hoedown.  Now that the kids are going back to school, join in.  You could win some great images.  Or even just get free images for playing along.

Thanx for looking and please comment.

Steampunk Journal

It's time for a new progressive challenge at Paper Craft Planet Sassy Studio Designs. Have you been playing along with the previous challenges?  If not there's no time like now to start.  This month's image is the terrific Steampunk Amelia and the challenge is to make a "Steampunk" themed project.  If you don't know what Steampunk is, Google it or take a look at this video on YouTube.  It's quite interesting. So I wanted to make something other than a card this time.  This is what I created.

I have gotten into making books and journals lately.  If you are interested in learning how to do it.  Here is a video by SeaLemonDIY.
I used a Wheaties box as my cover. And have 65 folded sheets of grey paper inside.

 I covered it with 2 types of "leather-like" paper.
