Scrapbook & Cards Today Blog: Designer's Challenge: Emily Pitts

Happy Monday, everyone! We hope that everyone's week is off to a super start! This week, we have designer Emily Pitts here with a fun (and wet!) challenge! Here she is:

We are smack dab in the middle of summer here in the northern hemisphere, and all that my kids want to do is be at the pool! It's hot outside and the best way to cool off is to get wet. That got me to thinking about a technique I've been playing with lately. I have a little mister from Ranger that I've been spraying on small bits of paper and then crinkling them up; it gives me such a cool texture when it dries. I wondered how it would work for a whole sheet, so I tried. The title work on this layout is the result; I let the paper dry and then cut out the title. I love how much texture it added to the simple page about a perfect summer activity!

So my challenge to you this week is this: Go ahead and get a whole piece of paper wet then crumble it up into a ball, flatten it out, then let it dry. Try different weights of paper; the cardstock I used created a completely different look than the light weight papers I've tried before. I hope you'll have fun with it, and if nothing else, you'll get cooled off a bit!
