Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Mini Mixed Media Pages using Brutus Monroe Grunge Type Creative Cards

We are getting stitchy this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!  Yes - just incorporate any sort of stitching and you'll hit the challenge theme.  I made some mini journal pages with stitched elements here and there.

I started with this mini notebook, which I made from chipboard and then bound.  I collaged on both pages.


Next I cut out a number 4 from Brutus Monroe's Grunge Type Creative cards as well as some circles (negative and positive shapes) from AALL & Create's Film Drip die set.  I painted the circles and frames.  I also tore out a scrap of patterned paper from Amy Tangerine's Paper Play book and sewed across it with my sewing machine.


I attached the 4 to my page and did some scribbling around it with Distress Watercolor Pencils.


Last week, I made some earrings that were made with fabric scraps.  I decided to use some of those leftover fabric scraps and incorporate them into my pages.  I glued some fabric onto the page on the left and sewed some fabric scraps together for the page on the right.  I attached my little fabric scrap bundle with a loop pin.

On a secret project disaster sidenote here, notice how the 4 is totally ripped and wrinkled in the finished project versus how it was in the previous photo.  I had glued it on crooked and it was driving me nuts, so I tried to rip it off the page and re-glue it.  But the glue won and I ended up with a bit of a ripped mess that I had to try to piece back together.  But it all worked out in the end!



Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
