"According to folklore and tradition, Leap Day is thought of as the time when the woman can propose to the man. Of course, things have changed a lot since then. But sometimes, this still happens (luckily we don't have to wait for a 2/29 to occur). So create a project that depicts how you would have proposed (or would like to) to your significant other, or create an extra special birthday card for someone who has a 2/29 birthday. Use twine and some sort of leaping or hopping (animal, action, etc). Must use 50% CC product!"
Here is the project I made as an example.
I used EP 6x6 Victoria Gardens, bakers twine in lemondrop yellow, and France Meyer stickers (frog). I fussy cut some slots in the peachy paper to insert the printed paper. And I also cut out around the pattern in the yellow paper. Then I sewed a jumping motion for the frog and popped the frog up with 3-d dots. Then I added my engagement ring and hung it on a wine bottle.
Since I had a little trouble coming up with something to say and do, I figured others might also. So then I added the birthday part to make the challenge a little less restrictive. It still caused a little uproar amongst the ladies on CC. So a lot of the other members of the design team have been helpful to make some really great projects to help others along with brainstorming. I decided to make another project also. This time I made a birthday card.
I decided to go with a "springing" action. As the squares twist, they also pop off the paper. It's hard to see on this picture, so I added a closeup from the side.
For this one, I used EP 6x6 Victoria Gardens, SU cardstock in sage shadow, MM metro mini shimmer alphas in gold, and baker's twine in lemondrop yellow.
