Grungy Monday 05: A New Dimension!

Pin It

Featuring Special Guest Star Designers
Helen Lindfield
Rachelle Emigh

Happy Monday, my friends in grunginess! I hope you all had a wonderful week and are ready to make this new one even better. I'm still making my way around to see your art for GM04, and let me tell you, what I've seen so far has been astoundingly cool! Thanks to you all for showing me such beauty. 

I'm beyond thrilled to be attending Ranger U later this week, and since I'll be completely immersed in that and traveling home next Monday, GM05 is going to last TWO weeks! So, take your time with this fun technique, and upload your submission anytime between now and Sunday, May 8. 

So, what is this cool project we're doing for these two weeks? Glad you asked. Let's pop over to Tim's blog for a cool, dimensional art technique that you can use for scrapbooking, card making and home decor, too: 

There all all kinda of possibilities for this, and I know you're going to rock it!

Our Guest Star Designers took this challenge and flew! Check out the spectacular creations Helen and Rachelle made for GM05:

Here's mine. I used a rhinoceros pin given to me by one of my
 favorite people in the world, my friend Anne Markel. 

Ready to enter that new dimension? Click the link to Tim's blog up above and create your own masterpiece with this fun technique! When you complete your project, please upload it here using the InLinkz button at the end of this post. You'll need to have your own blog or an online public photo album (like Photobucket, Flickr, etc.) to participate. 

Please be sure to include a link to Tim's website (www.timholtz.com) in your blog post or photo description. I'd appreciate it if you'd like back to Studio L3, too.

Don't forget to upload your art to the Grungy Monday photo album at All Things Tim, where awesome List Mom, Gloria, has provided this easy way to share your GM work with the entire membership there. It's an awesome group of artists, and if you're not a member, get right on that! ;-)
Okay, go forth and grunge, my friends! Remember, you have until May 8 to create and share your GM05 art. Please keep an eye on Studio L3 next weekend-- if technology doesn't fail me, I'll be blogging from Ranger U. And, if you're on Twitter, watch for my Tweets with the hashtag #RangerU, under my account, @lindaledbetter. 

Thanks to Helen and Rachelle for their spectacular and inspiring examples!

Linda, I found myself at home after all today, so just want to say thanks for asking me to do this one! It was (eventually!) a lot of fun. Have the very best of times at Ranger U, you will love Hels. Whether you get any work done is another matter!
You and Rachelle have both created some awesome work.
