LESSology Challenge #22: Creative inspiration of Linda Lapotka

Hello there altered enthusiasts! Ready for another creative inspiration? Let's check out how design team member Linda Lapotka  was inspired by LESSology Challenge #22: How Charming!

My project  started with an old legal folder. I created a pocket for a swap I am in over at YPP called "Thinking of You" Angel Pocket.  I sprayed the folder with some glimmer sprays and a stencil made from an overhead.

I made some of my charms using shrink plastic.

Some of the charms were off of an old frame. Charm are fun to use and really add a lot to a tag or card.

Here is the video telling all about my creations.

We look forward to seeing your charmed creations.

Hope you have been inspired by Linda's charming project. We would love to see your entries for LESSology Challenge #22: How Charming!

LESSology Challenge #22: Creative inspiration of Julie Tucker-Wolek and Lynnda Hosni

Have you been charmed by the project showcase so far? How about checking out what design team members Julie Tucker-Wolek and Lynnda Hosni came up with for LESSology Challenge #22: How Charming! ?

Hi everyone! :) Julie here with my take on our charm challenge!!

I am loving our latest challenge!!

I made a canvas for my project -- and I included SEVERAL charms and trinkets -- some of my charms on here came from my fellow LESSology DT member Linda :)

I was antiquing a few weekends ago -- and found a BIG bag of these little wreaths from Darice for $2.25 and thought they would be fun on my canvas with all my trinkets and charms :)

Here is the bag of little wreaths I found :)

All of these little wreaths for $2.25!!! I couldn't believe it!! :)

 And here's my finished canvas!!

 

Can't wait to see what you all create!

Hey.... It's me Lynnda once again...!!!

Can't believe its time for Challenge #22 already!!!

My mojo is still a little rusty....

Here is my interpretation for LESSology Challenge#22:

A layout of my little Prince Charming..

LESSology Challenge #22: Creative inspiration of Kirsty Vittetoe and Yvonne Yam

Rummaging through your charm collection to see what you can find for LESSology Challenge #22: How Charming? Let's be "charmed" by what design team member Kirsty Vittetoe and Yvonne Yam came up with for this challenge! :) 

I have had this tiny wooden tray for the longest time...

It used to be the home for these little pegs I bought from Ikea more than 10 years ago, after applying white acrylic paint, now it is time to have some fun....

I picked an old photo of me, my brother and Grandma...

I also dug out this tiny key charm that was buried in my stash pile for more than 10 years

the heart is the negative of my tag die, I coated it with ink and Utee, the result is awesome

this metal charm is one of my all time favorite 

Everything is so tiny, I feel like I am playing doll house again

and the scrabble tiles are my best buy when I went to the Brooklyn Flea Market last year

Hope you find some time to play along with us!

 

 Hello there! It's Yvonne here to share my charming creation...*winks*

I started with a wooden box that I spray-painted silver.

Then I added some lace from an old dress, trim and pearls. I applied Ranger distress ink in antique linen to match up all the different white tones. I completed the box with some old charms and bling.      :)

There are so many ways you can incorporate charms on your projects and we would love to see what you come up with for LESSology Challenge #22: How Charming! :)
