Feeling Blue...

That is the color of course... The new challenge at Lasting Memories is to use as many of the shades of blue in the color palette below as you can.  Check it out:

This is what I created:

Challenges do not have to be hard - I found this great cardstock that had several shades already printed.  I just added two more with additional cardstock and viola!  Layout is done.  Find your blue paper and join us at Lasting Memories.  Links are due January 27th!

Materials Used:  DCWV paper, cardstock, brads, and Doodlebug Design Inc. - Love Letters alphabet.

When Was The Last Time You Just Used Plain Cardstock?

I didn't realize I was using just plain cardstock until I was just about done with this layout!  It has been a long time since I have done that!  Nice change of pace...

In any case, I am here to help reveal the new challenge at Sketch N Scrap.  The sketch challenge is posted below followed by my layout:

I tried something new and attached my banner together with brads.  I think I will do that again!  Other than adding extra cardstock and extra photos to the layout - I followed the sketch to the T!  I hope you can join us in this challenge, links are due January 31st.

Materials Used: cardstock, brads, and Doodlebug Design Inc. - Hopscotch alphabet.

What Are You Dreaming About?

I am happy to help reveal the new challenge at Lasting Memories.  Challenge # 378 is to use the word  "dream" on your layout.  Dream can be in your title, journaling, or even as a design element!

I choose to use dream in my title and this is what I created:

The original base paper had a design element printed in the center bottom.  I wasn't a fan of the design so I placed a number of embellishments on top to cover it up!  I can't wait to see your "dreamy" layouts!  (Sorry - couldn't resist!)  Be sure to link up by January 27th!

Materials Used:  Webster's Pages - Everyday Poetry paper, DCWV paper, Webster's Pages Journaling card, Webster's Pages - Storytellers alphabet, Studio G pearls, silk flower, and Petaloo flower (white).
