Color Me Scrappy - First Challenge

Oh - so exciting.  It's the first Challenge over at Color Me Scrappy.  You ready for it...here are the colors for the first challenge.  So very pretty!!

 All you have to do is create a layout using all of the colors shown above and link it to the Color Me Scrappy blog.  By doing this you are entered to win a prize (Canada and US residents only).
Here's my layout with some great pictures that we took at Grand Bend just a couple of weeks ago during our early spring weather.

 The background is K & Company patterned paper that came with all the glitter on it - gorgeous.  I added in some photo mats and some super cute handmade paper flags from some Fancy Pants patterned paper from the About a Girl paper line.  The blue punched border was popped up for some texture.

Ok so head over the challenge blog, get crafty and link your layout over there.  Check out all the other talented ladies on the design team and see what wonderful creations they've made.
This is going to be such a wonderful adventure - I am so excited to be part of this great design team.


Happy Papercrafting!

SYAO week 9

Well it's week 9 and I'm still going strong.  It's very challenging to pick out four items for embellishments and one technique when you are trying to match colors and patterns.  :-)

So for week 9 I picked these old pictures from when Madison was just a wee little baby.  We drove to Wiarton to take in the sights and found this really cool Willie statue.  Willie is the albino groundhog in Wiarton that likes to tell us how long we have to wait for spring.

I used some filter paper embellishments from Fancy Pants along with a really gorgeous patterned and die cut paper that I picked up at Lens Mills.  The paper had a ton of shiny glitter all over - so pretty.

Isn't this statue cool - hehe.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when the first challenge is revealed over on Color Me Scrappy.  Head on over the website now and look for the design team bios - really cool!

Happy Stamping!

Jumbo Coaster Album

I picked up these awesome Daisy Bucket papers one day at a lss and just fell in love. They are double sided and have a nice texture to them, almost linen like. The colours are so vibrant!

I instantly wanted to make a coaster album for my daughter out of them. I have these jumbo coasters that are a little bigger than 6" square and are perfect for an album. I used Jumbo eyelets for the corners and hold them together with a chain.

I made custom tabs (except for the turquiose one - SU) and added rubons. Some of the swirls and flowers on the pages are rub-ons from Fancy Pants. These were some of my "luxury" meaning expensive scrap supplies that I really hesitate to use, but I love the way it worked out. Now just to add some photos and journalling and ta-da we are done.

Don't forget this is your last chance to enter my Blog Candy draw. I will be announcing the winner tomorrow night after the kiddies are in bed.

Happy Stamping!
