9/10 Perfect Day LO

this layout is made with Perfect day level 2 papers from CTMH. The letters are Rub-ons, the larger set is American Crafts, but I forgot who made the smaller letters. The chipboard elements are also CTMH.

The layout design is from Becky Fleck's Page Maps...adjusted a bit for my pictures.

9/9 Final day of Scrap Challenge

OK..you saw 2 of the 4 steps. Here is the final page. Day 3 we had to add the title using 3 diff papers and some other special element (I used liquid glass) Day 4 we had to add journaling and any other finishing touches we wanted.

9/7 OCC Challenge

This weeks challenge was to make a funny birthday card for Amy Sheffer one of the designer's at that site. Well, I've got the funny saying....so here goes...Happy Birthday Amy, hope you like your card!

9/7 Day two of layout challenge.

today we had to add fibers or ribbons to at least 3 places, mat and add photos of at least 2 different sizes and add an embellishment of some type to the focal point photo. I also added my title, but I think that is part of tomorrows challenge...but not sure.

9/6 projects and challenges

On the consultant boards, a woman has been posting a challenge each week, this is the 3rd week, but the first time I've participated. The challenge has 4 steps and she lists a step each day...so I thought I would share here what I am doing. Todays challenge was to create the base pages with 3 or more patterned papers and 2 cardstock colors. Then we had to put a file folder decorated with Ribbons and a picture somewhere on the page. So here is what I have done so far:















I used Evensong Paper from the level 2 paper pack, Cranberry ribbon and topiary fibers.

She also posted a card challenge: Create a Christmas card, using a line from a favorite carol and you can't use Green or Red as your colors. Well, I colored a bit with Red, but I used Outdoor demin and White Daisy as my colors. The card also had to contain 3 embellishments, I used Ribbon, photo hanger and mini white daisy brads. Here is my card for that challenge:















The Stamp set used was Magical Season. All products used on both challenges above are CTMH.

Now tomorrow I'm going to start on the funny birthday card challenge posted on Our Creative Corner's Blog as well as work on Day two part of the Layout challenge.

9/5 - Another day, another Card

I was looking through Cards, gifts and more magazine (new publication by papercrafts) and found a card submitted by Michele Boyer and duplicated using CTMH products. I used: Paper Garden Floral patterned paper and Purple, Purple Pansy and White Daisy Cardstock, both distressed with chocolate ink to tone them down a bit. The stamp set is Treasure Life, the September Stamp of the Month.

Labor Day - End of Summer Sorta....

funny how labor day always feels like the end of summer even though technically we have a couple more weeks. My kids went back to school last week. 8th and 11th grade. They both had pretty good first weeks.

So yesterday we went to York Beach ME for the day. Was a great day to be there, so thought me and my friends and a few thousand other people...We got there at high tide, and it was very crowded. There was a great sea breeze, the water was frigid cold, but the sun was bright and everyone was in a good mood, so it was a great day. Today we spent the day at a friends house for a BBQ. It was another beautiful day...with lots of sun.

The card above, is for another OCC challenge...which was to create a birthday card. So here is my entry. I scraplifted the design, but forgot from which site...I'm sorry to whomever that I haven't included you name here...but I'll edit this with the name when I find it!

Again, all supplies are Close to My Heart. Paper was from the Sonata Level 2 paper pack: Chocolate, Lilac Mist and Buttercup cardstocks and the pink andsmall flower patterned papers. The stamp sets are Birthday Bash for the present and the Card Sentiments set. Lilac Mist Ink, Blush and Hollyhock inks.

Hope you enjoy!
