Design Team Challenge with Stacy Cohen WIN a RAK!!

This is called "Anything but the kitchen sink." The challenge is to use any item found in a kitchen *except* for the kitchen sink (because then it would be hard to fit your layout in a page protector ). You have to use at least one or more non-scrapbooking items from your kitchen.

Here's my layout:

Here's what I used:

*COFFEE FILTERS -- I cut and punched flowers from coffee filters. I sprayed and painted them with Shimmerz paint and Spritz, then I layered the flowers on top of each other.

*CHEESECLOTH -- I cut out flower shapes and added them to my coffee filter flowers

*PLASTIC COFFEE CAN LID -- I punched flowers and cut out leaves from the plastic lids, then I colored the plastic with alcohol ink and Staz-On ink.

*INSTANT COFFEE -- I mixed a little instant coffee with gesso (thanks for the tip, Wendela!) and painted around the edges of the photos. The plain white gesso was a little too stark for my Photoshopped photos so the added coffee grounds helped tone down the color a bit.

*TWINE FROM THE KITCHEN JUNK DRAWER -- I hand-stitched the twine around the border of the layout, then I painted it with Shimmerz for a little sparkle.

*CARDBOARD COFFEE CUP JACKET/INSULATOR -- I punched a couple little butterflies out of the cardboard, then I added some Stickles and pearls.

I will randomly pick a name from everyone who participates in this challenge, and the winner will receive this assortment of lace from me (there are 20+ yards of lace included):
