Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's challenge day over at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges Parties - this week we are doing a special 2 week challenge, that we are hosting with Double Trouble Challenges.  We were challenged to create a BIRTHDAY project. Here is what I created.

I found this fun file in the Silhouette Store, and thought it was just perfect for today's challenge!  It is a gatefold style card, which is unusual for me.  The sentiment is from an old TPC Studio stamp set called "Greetings"

It's the Little Things

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's challenge day over at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges Parties.  Miss Janis, challenged us to create a PHOTO INSPIRATION project. Here is what I created.

I decided to focus on the colors and feelin of this picture.  Everything about it says "relax" to me.  The little house mouse stamp, that I colored with chalk, is doing a great job relaxing on the lilac.  The colors are so soothing!

Tri-fold Double Waterfall Folio

Happy Friday everyone!  It's challenge day over at PDE Linky Parties.  Miss Janis, challenged us to create an ANYTHING BUT A CARD project. Here is what I created.

I made a video, to show you the whole thing.  I am pretty proud of the photo folio and I hope you check it out.

  

The paper is from Photo Play Paper's "Rhapsody" collection.  The "trifold" portion is based on a My Sister's Scrapper folio tutorial.  I tweaked it a bit to fit my plan. You can find her original tutorial HERE.  

The double waterfall is based on a style by LMs Crafty Creations.  Her tutorial for the waterfall is HERE.

The way the waterfalls are decorated is how Kathy Orta King decorated some of her pages in her Mr Grant/ Mr Benjamin albums.  That tutorial is HERE.
