Happy April!!! This months challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous is to use eyelets! I know what you're thinking, why did they pick eyelets, who is going to want to participate and set a bunch of eyelets? Personally I don't buy these things at all anymore because I don't exactly enjoy the whole eyelet setting process. But I have a whole lotta them from my early scrappin' years and we wanted to challenge ourselves to actually use them. The challenge is to use 23 eyelets on your layout. Here's mine...
I set some eyelets in the upper right corner but down at the bottom left I strung them together on some scrappers floss. I really like how it turned out! I don't know how many eyelets I used but I'd guess it's near100. The paper on this layout is Cosmo Cricket and some Bella Blvd. I added some paint chips, and above the picture I have a tab for hidden journaling. This is a picture of my old Walkman that I bought in 1987 at age 11! It was awesome! Why was it awesome? First of all as you can see, it's yellow, it has a little graphic equalizer on the side (this made very little difference to sound quality but I thought it was so cool) and best of all it has both a rewind and fast forward button. So I didn't have to flip over my Debbie Gibson tape, fast forward it, and flip it back if I wanted to hear a song again! I know you know what I'm talking about!!! Anyway, I recently came across this in a drawer and now it's sitting on a shelf in my scrap room, so of course I had to take a picture of it!
Now head on over to Scrapbookers Anonymous and check out what the rest of the DT did! Oh and play along! I want to see what you come up with to use those eyelets!!!

ok Lea, I love this LO! Is that a scantron background? ha! The pp is perfect and the "necklace" is a clever idea for the eyelets. I also like how you incorporated the paint chips in this colorful LO. Job well done. Confession: I was also hooked to my walkman and my fave song on that tape was "foolish beat".
What a fun LO,Lea and what a great use of eyelets, I would never have thought of threading them,genius !!!!
Hi Lea- I'm gonna apologise first- I am hopeless at commenting on the Design Teams blog- I find it hard enough to keep up with the people who join in the challenge - so I apologise for never commenting but I do visit
Love this LO was so excited to see it after that teaser in the e-mail- such a clever idea- watch out for it on my blog! LOL
