CCC #3 Colour Challenge

I've created a card to try out a Colour Challenge from a fellow Demonstrator's website! Check out CeeCee's blog to see what this post is all about

Here is MY version of this colour combo called "Lazer Light & Flowers" ... I look forward to checking out the other entries for this challenge!



Hope you like my card and I look forward to trying more of these colour challenges in the future - I hope you will too!

Hugs,

Look what happened while I was cleaning ...

I don't know about you but I HATE to clean my house! *laugh* I was trying to clear the decks for my Mother's Day Card Class tomorrow. I've been working on a few card projects as well as prepping the kits for my class and my Wow Swap project - 51 of something is a lot you know!! And of course, all of this is all spread out over my dinning room table!

As I moved from work station to work station picking up scraps, cleaning used stamps and collecting ink pads, I was thinking about the April/May Sparkle Daisy Scrapbooking incentive. Well, before you could say "SNAP" I was putting together a 6x6 scrap book page with various left over pieces from my other projects! The pictures are from a magazine as dear hubby hasn't got our printer set up yet but once it is, I'll swap out the stand in's for pictures of family and friends!

What do you think???



The background is Tempting Turquoise, the clouds are Whisper White, torn for a cloud effect, daubed the edges with various shades of blue Pastels to make them stand out. I cut the grass out of some Gable Green cardstock then punched the Scalloped Flowers, 1-3/4" Circle punches of Gable Green for the boarder of the faces, 1-1/4" Circle punches for the "pictures". Layer to your liking and secure everything with Snail glue.

I don't even think it took 10 minutes to put it all together! In fact, I think I'm going to go do another one - RIGHT NOW!!



And here it is, my SECOND scrapbook page!

Ok, so does this make me a scrapbooker now!?! *laugh*

PLEASE add your comments on this one - I need encouragement!!! *giggle*

Sparkle Daisy Meeting - Got the Juices going!!

Wow! What a night. Lots of people back from Cruise with stories to tell! Lots of top earners with bright pink tiaras for the night, and LOTS and LOTS of really lovely projects on the share tables!! I'm going to post a few shots I took of the share tables (hope that's ok!?)



Sorry, this shot is hard to see but it is all the neat things that were part of Cruise 2008! There were 2 whole displays full of cards, samples, 3D objects, and so much more! Cruise sounds like a dream come true, I mean come on, an entire cruise ship full of crafty stampers? The brainstorming that must have been happening .... I just can't imagine it! *giggle*




This is the Loonies for Littles kit that is for sale between April 15 and May 31st in support of the Big Brothers & Big Sisters! Someone was nice enough to bring in some samples they have made with the supplies that come in the kit! Aren't they wonderful??



Lots of beautiful things to see! It gets the imagination going - it's so hard to go to bed after these meetings because all you want to do is CREATE something when you get home!! *giggle*


See the example of the Dahlia Fold on the Carousel Notes from the Occasions Mini? That is just so pretty isn't it?? I'm going to try that one on a card tonight!


So many things to look at ... and we were all crowded around the tables trying to get shots of things and or trying to figure out how they were made! I really liked the pocket photo keepers! Hmmmm, Mother's day gift idea???

There were LOTS of Scrapbook pages! So many of the ladies had brought whole books full of them!

This one is made with Berry Bliss Designer Paper! Ohh! it is so my favorite right now! The pinks and browns are just so pretty and rich together. I love the improvisational heart that she made and I think that is a folded card on the bottom right (I'm not sure the proper name for it though).

Did you know that May is Scrapbooking Month?


Just look at this page for "Sisters" en francais. The creator of this page did a wonderful job!

The bright cheery colours and the lovely photo of the girls playing together - it's is no wonder that people love doing these pages so much!

Just look at the next one - just so darn cute! I love it!! Flowers, ribbon, letters, designer paper viola, a scrapbook page worthy of the memories it holds! Marie-Pier's Mom does awesome work, don't you think?




I'm guess I am going to have to get over my fear of scrapbooking and just get started!!

Maybe with Marlayne and Sherida's class in June??? These amazing Ladies have put together a scrapbooking class for us Demonstrators and our Customers that will have us putting together a 20 - 12x12" pages of layouts for only $80.00! That's amazing!! Do you want to come with me???


I don't know about you, but, I'm just itching to make something right now .... aren't you?

ta ta for now and I hope you'll send me a picture of something YOU'VE created sometime!!

Cheers,
