Back to Basics Challenge

Looking for a great challenge? Head on over to Have Your Way With Paper and check out the challenge forum. There are some great challenges this month.

The one that I want to talk about here is the Back to Basics Challenge. This one sort of came about by accident. The question of the day there a few days ago was, "You are sitting down to scrap. All you have to use with your three photos are a pack of cardstock in various colors (no patterns), a handful of colored pens plus black, one pair of scissors. That's it. What do you do to pull together a nice LO. (you do have adhesive, btw)." Well, the moderator for the challenge forum decided that this would make a great challenge.

So I set out to get this one done thinking it would be pretty easy. Uh-uh. Not even close. I don't think I have ever really realized just how much I depend on embellishments. To only use paper and pens......well not an easy task. But I got it done and I only used Card stock and a white pen.
