Over at Cookin' Up Creations we're having all sorts of fun with Nursery Rhymes. I have today's Nursery Rhyme Challenge. I chose If All The World Were Paper.

If all the world were paper,
and all the sea were ink,
if all the trees
were bread and cheese,
what should we have to drink?

I chose to focus on the Ink & paper part of the rhyme. I challenge everyone to use misters on their projects. It could be a paint or dye/ink mister. 

Here is the layout I created for the challenge

Items I used on this layout are the following:
Carstock: Tan - Darice, Light Pink -DCWV
Pattern Paper: Coffee Bean - Paper Pizzaz, Floral, Stripe & Dot - MME
Stamps & stamp Press: Fiskars - Latte Love, Watercolor Pencils: Faber-Castell
Letters: Cloud9/Colorbok, Ink: Ranger Archival- Jet Black & Tim Holtz Distress ink - Walnut, Paints: Plaid - Brown, Pale Cream, Rhasberry & Black, Washi Tape: Target. Adhesive: Tobow, Pop dots: Recollections, Thread: Coats & Clark, Trimmer & Deco Scissors: Fiskars, Other: Coffee Sleeve - Joe Muggs - BAM

I hope you stop by and join us in all the challenges. If you do the challenge posted above link me.
