Pretty

I made this "Pretty" page for the Love My Tapes March recipe challenge. 


The recipe is to use each of the following on your page:

1.  Use a negative(s)      
(I used the negative cutout for the word "Pretty")
2.  Use 5 different washi tapes     
(I used 5 different washi tapes behind the title word)
3.  Use ONE word    
(PRETTY... I didn't count my journaling, but I think that is okay...)
4.  Use handstitching     
(In the middle of the large yellow flower)
5.  Use an envelope     
(I cut off the tops of 2 DCWV 3" mini envelopes, outlined them, and used them for my arrows)

The Challenge runs through March 27th, so there is still time to join in by clicking here.

Supplies used: Cardstock and flower punches SU, Washi Tape, brads, floss, envelopes DCWV, Zig pen, Silhouette machine

You color my world

Today over on the CK Blog they had a 1 hour challenge to create a layout using a Dr. Seuss quote. I knew right away which one I wanted to use for this picture of my daughter expressing her love for colors!


 I also used this sketch by Ashley Horton as my inspiration:


 Ashley does a monthly sketch challenge on the CK Blog and it is always one of my favorites to play along with! She also had a twist to use fun spring colors, so this worked out just perfect with my page! Click here for more details.

Supplies used: Jillibean Soup paper, SS stickers, clipart
