Challenge #63 @ Scrap Your Crap

Hey all-  It's been hectic the last couple of weeks; but I'd like to thank everyone who played along with our Stamps challenge last month.

Now were on to our March Scrap Your Crap Challenge No #63 we would like to see you use MASKING/WASHI TAPE.

Tapes have boomed over the last year and by now almost every scrapbooking manufacturer compliments their with a roll or two of decorative tape.

It is perfect for those little accents here and there or to be used instead of a paper strip.

Use as much or as little masking/washi tape on your project.

Be sure and comment with a link to your *newly created* project so we can see and comment on them.

 

Here is my layout entitled "Love this Cow".

Pictured is my daughter Kassie with the cow in Virgina, Beach.

Used:

Tape: Michaels Craft misc tape & American Craft Nightfall mixtape
Paper: Basic Grey Out of Print & Bazzill Cardstock
Embellishements: Sassafras Chip Shapes, Basic Grey glazed brads
Letters: American Craft Amy Tangerine Thickers
