How Creative Can YOU Be Challenge at Paper Popsicles

Okay, so Melissa really gave us an awesome challenge this month. First, she had us post 2-3 photos that we took recently that we wanted to scrap! She didn't tell us anything else. So, I posted these photos. Can you believe those blue eyes? I just had to get them scrapped!





Then, after several people had joined in the fun by posting their photos, she gave us step 2. Step 2 said that we had to create a layout using the following requirements:

yellow, blue and brown cardstock
3 buttons
4 different patterned papers
Journaling
The word blast in the title (using die cut, sticker or rub-on letters)
3 stickers

Needless to say....it was a challenge for sure. The brown cardstock and the word BLAST were really tripping me up. But I finially worked it out and this is what I came up with.



Supplies used:
Cardstock - Creative Memories, Bazzil
Patterned Paper - the Paper Studio
STickers - Thickers
Flowers - Prima
Ribbon - stash

I had sooo much fun with this challenge and I am so happy with this LO of my beautiful neice and her gorgeous blue eyes! Thanks Melissa!

Midnight Madness Week 13

This is my first time playing along with Midnight Madness. Here is my take on this weeks sketch. My squares are not perfect, but the card as a whole looks pretty good IMO. The cute puppy is Holden! He's from Stitchy Angel Designs. I am totally in love with this color combo ~ brown and baby blue. My best friend recently got remarried and all of her kitchen decorations are this color combo! So beautiful! Thanks for looking!
