Sunday Morning - Aug. 30 - SHABBY CHIC CHALLENGE

Are you ready for your challenge??? You are going to have to put some thought in this but work fast, it is due by this evening at midnight. ;) So, here we go...
How do you describe shabby chic? The dictionary gives the definition of shabby as, “worn out, frayed, or threadbare after long use". The definition of chic is, “sheek, stylish and elegant". Thus, shabby chic is a style that uses a mix of stylish and beautiful objects with those that are worn out and frayed.  In this challenge you will need to:



1. Scrapbook a photo (or two) of something that has meaning to you and journal why
2. On your layout include 5 distressing techniques. (ie. sanding, inking, crumpling, tearing, chalking, stained, painted, etc.)
3. You may use this free kit shabby chic brushes and overlay kit, or you may use whatever you would like
Remember  ~ post your layout to this gallery by August 30 at midnight (TONIGHT)  ~ post your layout in your points thread so you get credit for doing this challenge  ~ add this flair to your signature when you are done
Everyone that participates in this challenge will receive a kit that I made special for you! I hope that you will enjoy this challenge and it will bring back some fond memories.
Don't forget to stop by my store and check out my other fun kits I have there. Thanks for playing along. Can't wait to see what you come up with!!! :yahoo:

I was blessed with you by God.  I guess he wanted me to have a challenge.  You are for sure a challenge.  I would not change you for nothing and I am very happy to be your mother.  My plan came true with YOU!~

Uh Oh, Is there anyone who could quickly (in simple terms) tell me how to add these brushes from the kit to PSE 5 and how to find them and use them when the are there?  Never done this particular tool before.

Sorry Kay, I am checking with my PSE 5 right now. I wasn't thinking. Also, you don't have to use these brushes for the challenge. Just sending them to help people out. I will be right back with you. :yike:

Thanks, I will hang out for a little bit. I have tried to use brushes in some of the kits I have purchased, but they never work. I am sure I am doing something wrong. I have wanted to learn brushes, but get too frustrated. I am not very patient when it comes to stuff like that.  ::)

Ok, Got it, open your PSE5 (duh) sorry... go to EDIT, PRESET MANAGER, Brushes should be in the drop down menu, then click LOAD on the right, then go to where you have your brushes saved. That is the folder you downloaded and it will be a file with abr on it. then they will load in the brushes box, you might need to scroll down to see them. Then click DONE, open a new document or your paper, photo whatever, and then click onto the brush icon on the left, about half way down, select the color, size and the opacity and then you can grunge up your paper or whatever. Hope that this helps you out.  picnic
