Border Challenge with prize!!

I was on a DT Challenge a couple of weeks ago for Janine, April Diva at The Scraproom. Thought I'd post my challenge here. So today's challenge is to Create A Border using stash you already have .

I purchased this Simply Stated Fancy Pants stamp set at least 6 months ago and it cost me a pretty penny. Hardly used it so this challenge gave me the perfect opportunity!

1. Stamped my border in Sephia Ink. Knew I wanted to use the TSR MME Laundry Line Coastal BLING papers for my layout.




2. Chalked the border with colors that matched my paper.




3. Added bling with Stickles




4. Add a couple more embellishments and it is done! Look how the bling on the border matches the pattern paper!





So, let's see your border! I've even got a prize: wanna win a Prima Voila black border die cut art strip? Email me your layout! We'll pick a name from all those that enter! You have one week from today to email me your layout ! Happy creating!!

Recycle and reuse!

Purchased some paper flowers a couple of months ago. You know me, I am proud to say I'm a recycler! So with the pretty boxes that the flowers came from, I made tags to match the boxes and donated them to a school fundraiser. Here's the completed set. Aren't the boxes perfect!

Here is a close up. The best part? I've created tags from gifts, recycled 3 containers, and donated them to a good cause!!
Tomorrow if I have time, I'll do a tutorial so stay tuned!! Happy weekend!

Tribute to Mom

Here is my little tribute to mom. I first learned how to do this mini book years ago from my friend, Deanna. Thought I'd revive the technique.

Used the beautiful BW Madeline paper line, the Stacked Roses Dazzle stickers, QK Diesel and the Nestabilities Butterflies with some bling. Love the sparkle in these papers! Sorry, this class is already full.

Posting - finally

These are layouts I did last month but didn't get around to posting - March was a crazy month for me.

New month, new sketch!

Ok, we are up to 4 pictures. Here's the sketch:

Here is my layout. This sketch could be used for a one page layout or a two pager. I created 2.
