MMDT Challenge #17
This was an interesting challenge: the theme was CIRCLES. Here is a part of our instructions:
Create a page that uses circles as part of the design.
Element options – Include at least two of the following elements:
- Patterned Paper
- Circle Tiles
- Stitching (hand or machine)
As I had just been out to the zoo (Yes, again!! I've been there 3 times in the last 6 weeks!), and this time had taken several photos of the fish, I decided to use those.
The first page is supposed to resemble a port hole. I cut the band out of gold grid paper (used the back of the paper and a circle template) and mounted it on a background of wood-grain patterned paper to resemble the inside walls of a ship. I attached brads to replicate the studs holding the porthole frame. Inside, I used 4 different photos pieced together to get the "outside view".
The second page has some additional shots of the fish and the corral. I chalked the edges of the three circle tiles (one black, two ivory) to give a little color and the water look. 
I had some patterned paper with fish, and I used two small inside circles from two other circle tiles to mount additional pictures within the patterned paper.
Here is the finished two page spread. Enjoy!
