MWM #16

This was created for ScrapbookSteals' Mid-Week Mojo #16. It was created by a guest designer!! Boy, wouldn't I love to do that sometime!

It was created using a random piece of paper that I found in the 25 cent bin at Artco. Added to that was a piece of Jillibean Soup, some Cricut double sided paper, Sassafrass Lass letters and Cricut shapes :)

OMGoodness! The Twinery and Inkspot are having an AMAZING giveaway!

Inkspot Workshop and the Twinery are having an amazing giveaway of 4 spools of pretty baker's twine!! I love this stuff, but have only seen some made by a certain "homemaker's friend" that is WAY too expensive, and not in the cool colors that the Twinery makes! I would love, love, LOVE to own these amazing spools!!

American Crafts Studio: 6 Colors Week Challenge with Wendy

I was wandering the internet and found this wonderful challenge... And a way to use some of my hoarded City Park and Blue Skies paper and embellishments!

The challenge itself is to only use six, (yes 6!!) colors throughout the entire layout. My colors are: white, tan, brown, green, pink and raspberry. I know that there is only a little bit of raspberry throughout the layout, but it is such a bright color that I didn't want it to overpower the images.

I used a comination of stripes and dots to mirror the patterns that were in the photographs. Stripes to mimic the slats in Isla's crib, and the dots to mimic the pattern of her bedclothes.

All in all, this is a pretty successful layout. Yeah!! Pin It

MWM #15, and the three Challenges!!

Scrapbooksteals.com is having their challenges once again! Here is my MWM #15: Happy Birthday Isla!! It was nice to finally put a place for her birthday photos. The layout included 5 landscape, and 1 portrait photo! Plus, a variation on patterns and styles of cuts. It was fun to make!! I opted to change the layout a tiny bit to include the rack of cupcakes that I bought specifically for her birthday!! Isla even "helped" me by pushing down the photos so they would stick.Challenge #2 was a challenge. 1 piece of shaped paper (under the circular chipboard), 2 photos, 3 words in the title, 4 pieces of chipboard, and 5 sentences in the journaling. It was a bit of a challenge, as I needed to make sure that all five sentences fit into the journaling circle. So... I practiced.
Challenge #3 was a little interesting for me, as I saw the challenge... and had an idea. The subject was Thankful. We needed to put down someone, or something that we were thankful for. I scrapbooked the things that make me sane enough to deal with the people that I am thankful for ;) Starbucks, my iPhone, and my Pink ATG gun.

Challenge #4 was all about the 4's. 4 brads, 4 ribbons (the two "woof" ribbons, and the 2 in the sticker), 4 stickers or rubons (I included the journaling sticker as one of them), and I included 4 photos and 4 letters in the title...

I love the MWM!!!
