"INCHIES" challenge

Each month, my good friend JAN, of FAR NORTH DESIGNS, and I alternate offering a technique challenge. Jan is, without a doubt, the most creative and talented paper artist when it comes using creative technique on paper artwork. Our challenges are far more for my benefit to step out of my little tiny box of papercrafting and to try new things.

This month it was Jan's turn to choose our technique and she chose INCHIES. Anyone who knows me (and Jan knows me!) knows I don't work well on little canvases. I do not do ATC's (yes, I have tried them) and I never got into the "Inchie" craze. This is why Jan is so good for me. We each made 2 sets of 6 inchies and then exchanged one set with each other. Then, the challenge was to display our inchies in a little album or mini book using spring and/or flowers as the theme. Without further ado, this is my inchie book using Jan's and my inchies.








I'm off to check out Jan's blog to see her inchie album using our collective INCHIES.

Happy Spring and happy gardening too!

    I think you rocked the house on this challenge! This book is gorgeous! What an awesome idea! You both have inspired me to want to do an inchie album like this! I love to work on small little things- the working on a big surface scares me! ha ha ha!

    Wow both albums are wonderful. I have never done the inchies but might have to try them now. Hadn't done ATCs either until I went on the Alaska cruise -with a lot of wonderful people. Now I have to try more of those. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOVE this! I think it's inspired me to create an inchies book, also! I love the theme and the size. This is too cool for school!

    You are both amazing and talented. I think I would get more use of out inchies as well if I were to do an album such as this! Thank you for the idea, perhaps Kim will be up to for the challenge with me...
