For this lo, I used core-dinations cardstock for the base, American Crafts white cardstock for the clouds, Webster’s Pages Vintage Inspired netting, WP alphas (they were white, but I colored them), Prima flowers, MME brads, Pink Paislee Artisan Elements Circle and Ornament, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, lace from my stash, DMC embroidery thread for the rectangle, threaded through the lace, and stitched on the clouds, Martha Stewart clear embossing powder, Heidi Grace stamp, Encore ink, and iridescent medium.

I used sketch#137 from Creative Scrapper and am also submitting it to Scrap Whisper’s challenge to use fabric/material in your layout, and Two Peas in a Bucket for their CHA challenge #10. I went with this color scheme for a challenge on Candy Shoppe Designs (white on white), but I missed the deadline since I’d only found out about it on Saturday and I had the kids all day. oh well! lol

(I wanna see things from) Your Perspective

For this layout, I used Maya Road chipboard butterflies as a mask, Tattered Angels shimmer mists, Echo Park Be Mine papers, Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology tickets and trim, Cosmo Cricket alphas, Around the Block alphas, Memory Boutique ribbon, EK Success Fastenator staples, DMC embroidery floss, regular office staples and a binder clip.

I combined 3 challenges for this one layout. Inspiration from Nerdy *Victorious* Scrapbookers, sketch from Paper Secrets and Scrap Whispers requires the use of office supplies somewhere on the layout.

If you’d like to play along w/any of these challenges, here are the links:

Best Buddies Layout

For this lo, I used MME’s Lost and Found Collection. This time, I used the Portobello Road range. The base paper is Cowboy from the “Boy” set, and I also used Flannel from the “Buddies” set. I used a couple small pieces off of the “Boy” Glittered Diecut paper to accent as well. The trim, brads, tag and dimensional stickers are all MME. I used a touch of Tattered Angels glimmer glaze, Shimmerz spritz and Color Box ink. Handstitched w/white thread for contrast. I used the sketch by Anam Stubbington provided on MME’s blog for their challenge #19. To take a look or enter, CLICK HERE.
