Strip Tease time!

Scared you for a minute, didn't I?  No worries, this one doesn't involve any clothing!

Are you ever sitting in your scrap space, staring at all those fabulous products, dumbfounded at the multitude of patterned paper combinations? Then this week's challenge is for you!

Easier than you think- this week I want you to push away all those patterned papers you're staring at, wondering where to start, and grab ONE Scrap Strip! Scenic Route, Scrapworks and Cosmo Cricket make some gorgeous ones that let us take it back to basics, using ONE sheet of patterned paper, and making spectacular layouts!

Heather took one scrap strip as her only patterned paper, and made two layouts and card out of it! When was the last time you were able to stretch one piece of paper that far? Fun stuff!

Donna made this adorable layout out of a scrap strip- simple and quick, and just perfect!

I loved Betsy's use of paper tearing on this layout to really tie in the feel of the beach for this layout... she used tried and true metropolis scrap strip for it:

Melissa's adorable layout was done with the new Scenic Route Lynden scrap strip- she cut in just far enough to flip the strips over and use the back side. She then put a small piece of another patterened paper behind to fill in the open spaces!

I encourage you this week to strip away- become a minimalist, and I can't to see your creations!
