June BOF Color Challenge

Amy at the Birds of a Feather forum has a beautiful color palatte selected this month for the color challenge, shown here:


Of course, after looking through my pictures, this was the perfect picture to use. I used Prima papers and prima flowers which I misted red and then misted a layer of perfect pearls to make them shimmery! I also used the sketch from Prima's blog for the June challenge seen here... enjoy!

The Good Stuff

Here is the card I created based on a sketch on the October Afternoon blog. The metal embellishment has a quote that says "A friend is one who knows all about you and likes you anyway".. that is the good stuff!

Snow Couple

This card is for two challenges. The first challenge from My Unity Place is to use a unity/ippity stamp to make a background. The second is from the Paper Crafts blog where the challenge is to stamp with markers. I used the Winter Wishes stamp and just colored in the snowflakes with a blue marker and stamped the background. I then added the tag with the tree (leftover from a kit), and used pop dots for the snow couple which I cut from an old Christmas card.

Fun

This is a layout I created based on a sketch on the Sassafras Lass blog. The papers were perfect for capturing the feeling of the day!

Today's Photo

Conversation around the neighborhood:

"Hi, I'm Liam. This is my new bike. I got it at the bike store."

Okay, so it's not a new bike, it's a hand me down from a friend. But you refused to ride it until after daddy took you to the toy store to look at bikes (you were not happy because they didn't have a Lightning McQueen bike in your size). You love riding this bike now and as always you have to talk to everyone you come across.

In My Perfect World

This layout is for 3 challenges...

The first is for the June journalling challenge at Birds of a Feather - we were given several journalling prompts to choose from, and I chose this one: Close your eyes and imagine the kind of world you would like to see. What is it like?

The second is for Core'Dinations blog challenge, to use Core'Dinations cardstock for your journalling (I also embossed and sanded it).

The third is to use a sketch from the Pagemaps blog.

And here are the close up details....

Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger

So this is my first time creating something for the Tuesday Trigger. The trigger is based on the photo below:


I was inspired by the large monochromatic floral pattern and used that as my background paper. The vase of flowers I decided to use as the focal point on my card - I used a digital stamp from www.birdscards.com. I also decided to leave some white space to the sides to mirror the white space to the side of the large pattern on the wall. Here it is:
