was pre-empted by a phone call from a friend needing 5 two page layouts by this weekend. She called Sunday night - so I needed to balance work, had a work friend in from out of town with his wife and child so we had them over for dinner Monday night, Bellas family birthday party is tomorrow and this ROTTEN cold I have. Anyway the colors she told me to use were hot pink, blue (like crayon blue) and light yellow. Here are the five layouts I made -- mostly I used papers that Jamie sent me black and white ones by Imaginisce. With Bazzil and DCWV solids. I played with flowers and punches and ribbons. The idea is that they will be handing out white sheets for everyone to write on at the shower (and they will take pictures too) and add the photos --- the bride tends to like things a little simple (hmmmm not me! hehehe) so I tried to restrain myself a little -- I definately used my Layout Blueprints (I have both volumes) for inspiration. The pics arent the best but I snapped them Thursday morn...

Here are some pages I did today! Yay I scrapped! I used Bazzill paper and ribbon; Piggy Tales paper, chipboard letters and shapes, rub-ons; Scrapworks rub-ons; American Crafts ribbon; clear and white embossing; Junkitz buckle

OK - I admit it - I used a technique I said I didn't like. I have not been liking it when people put different flower colors together because the flowers can't be that way in nature the whole logical engineer thing. And yet I did it on this layout. I wanted a way to pull out the parrots beautiful colors and since the layout is meant to be fun, it kinda fit (Just like my foot into my mouth! hehehe) I found these two challenges over at Tina's Place here is the link: http://bearybox.blogspot.com/ - I hope y'all like what I did for them! So Here is the sketch I followed: And since I am addicted to two page layouts here is my interpretation using MME patterned paper, Pearlescent cardstock from Wausau, BG ribbon, letters and flourish from lordan on Etsy, journal stamp from Art Warehouse, CM Circle Cutters, Misc Flowers (see above!), and Parrot from Puerto Rico - hehehe And here is the card sketch: And my interpretation: Using BG paper, MME paper, Bazzill Cardstock, hero arts...

Here are the colors this week and it totally reminded me of our Puerto Rico vacation -- so I did a layout this time Bazzill paper, Queen and Co felt flowers, 7 Gypsies Stamps, Kaiser Bling, TH stickles. The Title: The journaling: The husband: My beautiful girls: All together

OK - I got rid of the yellow and the distracting (but pretty!) ribbon. I simplified the look at the bottom. I added Versamark stamped presents to the background and glittered some of the letters. Still thinking of adding a cording bow on top of the box letters and adding an exclamation mark at the end of the title. Or maybe I am done? I am Not sure!
