Monday Mugshots Collaboration Apr 30th

If you're new here, you can take a moment to see how the prompts work this year by clicking HERE.
 Shooters can share their pictures from this prompt on Facebook 05.01 
PROMPT: Must HAVE IT? Take it, or LEAVE IT? Are you a MUST HAVE MY COFFEE (or tea or whatever your poison is...) kind of person, or an "I am able to start my day with it or not" kind of person?
SHOOTERS: Take a picture of your coffee near a visual indication of your time line. (calendar, clock, newspaper, lunch)
BOOKERS: Create a page using "all or nothing" in your embellishments and/or texture. Use THIS PAGE as inspiration.

RACHEL
I love my coffee... I'm not really a MUST have it... but it sure does make my mornings nicer... 

GLENDA
I was inspired by the strips of paper in the pinterest example so I made my page using strips of washi tape. I first painted my journal page with white paint and then layered all the strips of washi tape on it and used a gazillion stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps! to make this page. This was a fun page to make!

LINDA
I've used gesso, Dylusions and markers to get the look of the page. Not sure why I put a man on the page, but the left side was so empty and I thought I could use it to practice my drawing skills. I was inspired by some drawings I found on the net and I love the way he turned out.

I had a blast with this challenge! Texture/Embellishments -- all or nothing... Of course I went all out:

Recipe

Gesso

Alcohol Ink

Silks Acrylic Glaze

Paper Towel (used)

Button

Metal Findings

Colored Hot Glue

Fabric Tape

Washi Tape

Feathers

Newsprint Paper

Zing Embossing Powder

VersaMark Ink Pad

Heat Gun

I gesso'd the pages first for strength, then I just went at it. Threw whatever I could get my hands on! I was after creating a bit of texture on top of embellishing the heck out of the page spread. I left the brush strokes from the gesso apparent to help with texture. The colored hot glue (white) was fun!

The rules

1. Use all or just part of the prompts.
2. MAKE THEM YOURS. These prompts are IDEAS. They are not set in stone. I encourage you to stretch yourself. If you find a prompt doesn't speak to you, think on it. Find a way to MAKE it speak to you, and go with that. 
3. You do NOT have to be a coffee drinker to play along! Tea, Water, Beer or the Hard Stuff. WE DON'T CARE!! Make the prompts work for you and your mug. (or lack there of)
4. There is NO right or wrong.
5. Share your feedback positively. ABSOLUTELY no judging of what others share. (If I find that people aren't following this rule, I will remove links left by that person.)
6. This is a place for you to explore! It doesn't matter if you've just gotten here in the middle of the year, or if you've gotten "behind" and don't create every day. It doesn't matter if you don't create at ALL... (although we'd love it if you do)  
7. Add your link to what you book or shoot in the comments here for easy visiting and sharing!! Be sure to add a DIRECT LINK. (you can get this most times by clicking on the title of your post, and then copying the URL.) General links to websites will be deleted (because they make it hard for people to follow behind and find the post pertaining to this prompt) ALSO, links leading to posts that do not make it clear how they are related to the prompts will be removed. 
8. If you would like to "officially" sign up to be listed in our participants list, visit the sign up page, by clicking on GOT BADGE at the top of the page. (this is one area where direct links are not needed!)
