[DYSU] Challenge #40 - Brown

This week at work has been super busy. I've been pulling the midnight oil and reminds me a little bit of the good old college days. I use to be in the computer cluster up until 3am or 4am, trying to finish some programming assignment. The only difference is that I was so much younger back then and was not phased by the many long night in a row and the little sleep. Forget the coffee, I was doing it with just sheer, stubborn will. Now I am just looking forward to the weekend and barely hanging on. What is your secret weapon to stay up?

So this week at DYSU, we have a fun challenge for you: Brown. I love the color Brown and the inspiration picture is just to die for!

This week I decided to push my comfort zone with this cute Copic Marker Scrapbooking digi. I don't usually do Shabby very well, but here is a go at it.


Stamps: (Shabby Tea n Cookies Beary Wishes) Copic Marker Scrapbooking; (Flourishes - Scallops & Dots) Waltzingmouse Stamps
Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Dark Chocolate) Papertrey Ink; (Basic Card Stock - Cream) Recollection; (Porcelain) Basic Grey; (Papertrey Packaging pattern paper) Recycled
Ink: (Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo) Ranger
Embellishments: (Soft-core Color Pencils) Prismacolor; (Life's Journey Ephemera Die Cut Cardstock) K&Company; (1/8" Ribbon - Pink) Spool 'o Ribbon; (Border Punch - Scalloped Sentiment) Fiskars; (Point 88) Stabilo

I managed to recycle the wrapper of the Papertrey Ink stamps packaging ;) I thought it had a nice brown border trim and added some brown faux stitching.



Anyways, this is a short post. Time to return to work...

Go see what the girls have up their sleeves on the DYSU blog. And look out for new team members on our next challenge - just one more week from now.
