LIttle Miss Sunshine

I am so in love with the color yellow this month! It makes me think of Spring and bright yellow daffodils and tulips. It's such a happy color!

This week, Twisted Sketches #145 was to use this sketch:

...and the twist was to use yellow.

Here is what I came up with. I hope it's yellow enough...lol

These papers were found at Michael's just a few days ago. And the flower trim and larger flowers were also from Michael's...probably from the dollar spot. I had some fun layered flowers that were made from different punches that I added to the big flowers. My title was inked in two different shades of yellow.

When I finally finished, I still had sunlight left to take this fun photo. I love that I was able to catch a shadow too. :)
If you're in the mood for a little (or a lot) of yellow, stop by the Twisted Sketches blog and see what else the Design Team created! It will surely brighten up your day!

PLG #26 - Golden Eggs

Happy Day Before Easter!! I'm late...again. But this photo inspiration from Paper Lovin' Gals #26 is something not to be missed!

Here is the photo:

So much fun inspiration to work with! Just using a Spring theme can come to mind. The colors, the theme, the eggs....so many different ways to interpret this photo. There are a few surprises on the blog for those that can play along....you never know what it might be.

Here is what I came up with. I tried my own version of quilling to make a "nest" for my eggs. I think the hardest part was trying to adhere them to the page...lol. But it was a lot of fun. So not only did I find a theme for my page, I kinda stuck with the colors and found a fun technique to use! So many possibilities!

I hope you will stop by Paper Lovin' Gals and give this challenge a try! The Design Team offers up many other ways to use the photo. Be sure to check out their projects! And who knows...there may be more prizes and surprises!

Fresh Ambrosia

Don't you just love it when you are inspired to pull out some REALLY old supplies and see that it can still work??

When I saw this sketch from the Basic Grey blog, I remember this beautiful collection called Ambrosia, with these gorgeous butterflies. Once I had all the papers on my desk, this page came together so quickly.

I used just a touch of Mister Huey's mist on the background paper. All of the butterflies were fussy cut from a sheet of the patterned paper. Pop dots make them "fly" off the page. These newspaper print handmade flowers worked so well with these colors, they just had to be used. Some trim and lots of buttons finished off the whole look.

I am so happy that this came together so nicely. And I never gave up on the older stash. :)

Here is the fun sketch that I used:

PLG #25 - Gimme that Chocolate Bunny!!

Welcome to challenge #25 from Paper Lovin' Gals! Sorry this is a little late.

Here is the fun photo inspiration....look at that yummy chocolate! I'm trying to stay away from chocolate, so I just stare at this picture and wish....

I made my own little basket using some pleated borders from Basic Grey. I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist and added a little bit of ink. The fun grass borders are from K&Company. For the handle of the basket, I pulled out some fun fibers. They were also inked and sprayed. It was fun to use a lot of green and not being working on a St. Pat's Day page...lol.

I hope you join us for this week's challenge! Bring out those chocolate bunnies and get to work! For more inspiration, stop by Paper Lovin' Gals and see what the Design Team created!!

C'est Magnifique

Here is a page I did for this beautiful sketch from C'est Magnifique.

I pulled out some much older papers and a few different trims from the stash.

The flowers are from the flower drawer. I added a light touch of Stickles to them to bring them to life a little more.

I am very happy with the way this turned out. :)

Here is the original sketch:
I hope I did it justice. :)

Have a great Sunday!!

Catching up...

A late night last night, and an early morning today. I miss scrapping!! I have been doing tiny bits of these layouts every night. I swear I can only get about 20 minutes a night to work at my desk. I'm exhausted!

Here is my page for Scrapping Everyday Miracles. This was such a fun sketch and I have had this older photo on my message board for weeks. I recently found it in a box and just love it. It's both of my daughters. I love the smile on the baby's face! Such love for her big sister. The other great part of this page is that it was put together with all goodies from the dollar spot at Michael's. :)

My next page is for Boys Rule! I have been sitting on this die cut for so long. This sketch was just screaming for me to use it. The photos matched the colors perfectly. I used a border punch on some scraps and then scored them to give them a little bit more design. The butterflies are also from Michael's. :)
And then of course, I had to give the sketch from Artful Delight a shot. Most of this is from the January kit, which included Studio Calico papers. I'm loving the yellow and aqua mix. I fussy cut the hexagons from one of the papers. And the tag is from the Funday Kraft set from My Mind's Eye.
Now I feel like I have accomplished something!!

Have you checked out the "Lift it" challenges at My Scraps and More?? Everyday, there is a new lift and there are so many fun pages to inspire you! Stop by and check them out! You won't be disappointed and you just might win a prize!

Twisted Sketches #143 - Wish

Welcome to my first post for the Design Team at Twisted Sketches!! I love all the sketches on this site and the twist really keeps my mind moving!

This week, the twist was "wish"....any way, any how.

"Wishes" always makes me think of Disney World. Even the song "Wishes" that is played at the end of each night makes me want to cry.

Here we are standing in front of the castle, listening to the song. I didn't want the night to end.

I "twisted" the sketch to fit my picture and used some glitter letters for my title. The trims are miscellaneous goodies from the stash. My favorite part is the Mickey head confetti. We gathered a bunch of this at the send off party on the Disney cruise.

Stop by Twisted Sketches and see the Wishes of the rest of the Design Team! Lots of inspiration to be found!

Have a great day!!!
