SS Ruby Challenges #2, 3 and 4!!!

Okay. I realize that I'm not listing ScrapbookSteals' Ruby Challenge #1. Technically, it's actually MWM #30.

33 layouts in 10 weeks??? Not bad!!! Here are my three additional challenges for Ruby Status!!! WOO HOO!!

Challenge #2: What's Your Secret

SS'ers were supposed to share a little known fact about themselves. I shared 10. :)

Title: 10 Things About Me

Challenge #3: Lucky Me!
SS'ers were given the task of featuring something in our life that we were lucky to have.

Title: Lucky in Love

Challenge #4: Countdown!

This was one difficult!! Here's the list. There was no right or wrong way to complete this... We just had to include these items. All of them.

10 metal embellishments: metal brads, 9 plain, 1 decorative

9 inches of ribbon: there are actually 9 inches of ribbon in the flower

8 letters in the title: isla sofi

7 non-metal embellishments: seven rhinestones

6 sentences in the journaling: this is obvious

5 pieces of patterned paper: there are five patterns in the woven section

4 pieces of plain paper: there are four pieces of plain in the woven section (I forgot to include the base paper... OOPS!)
3 photos: again, obvious... but in sepia tone!

2 rubons: both flourishes were technically from one rubon. I broke it into two.

1 stamped image: the dots underneath the photographs are actually a stamp!

Moxie Fab World's Color Inspiration for Card Makers Week: The Neutrals Challenge

This challenge from Moxie Fab World threw me a little... The gold from the metallics challenge was a challenge, but getting shades that really went together was almost tougher! Funny though, because I ended up with two variations using almost the same colors!
The Bazzill colors were: French Vanilla, Twig and Smoky.

For the first card, I used a Bazzill Swiss Dot paper in a pretty khaki color, a light cream American Crafts cardstock, that was cut using the Wild Card Cartridge from Cricut and altered using the Gypsy, two variations of the same die-cut sheet from My Mind's Eye, and a section of a Making Memories ribbon. The top layer of the blue die-cut border has some dimensional stickers to make it "pop" off of the card :)

I like this card, but it wasn't really my style... So I took another look at my supplies and found these papers that are pretty similar in nature.

For this card, I used the same Bazzill Swiss Dot khaki paper, part of a sheet of BoBunny Mamarazzi paper, a ribbon in the same colors (I cannot remember what company...), and a rub-on sentiment from the Letterbox line from American Crafts.

I may just give this one to my brother for his birthday. Lucky for me, he has no idea that this blog exists :)

Mid Week Mojo #17

Here is my "Tiny Dancer" layout for ScrapbookSteals.com's MWM.

I didn't have a piece of patterned paper that I liked, nor do I have mists... So, I used watercolors. It worked! Then, I realized that the watercolors were a little dark... So used a white Chalks ink pad to help tone it down.

The paper is MME, with the pink and brown paper, the B side of Basic Grey's Nook & Pantry. The journal box is BoBunny, and the flowers are from BG paper, with BG brads and buttons. Pin It
