Father...

I had a lot of fun with this page, I rarely get photos of my Dad and this one is a keeper!!!  He gets in front of my camera as often as I do!!!!  I kept this page simple and clean, the way my Dad is really!  he always looks so well put together.  My Dad means the world to me and he has always and will always have a very special place in my heart.  We both lead very busy lives and have little time for each other, thanks to email we still keep in touch as often as we can and talk on the phone when the opportunity comes.  Some may think that is sad but we are okay with it, and it works for us for now!  I don't need to see him all the time to know that he loves me as much as I love him.  Life has been crazy and through it all, he has always been there to provide me sound wisdom and encouragement.  He seems to always know the right thing to say even if it doesn't seem like the right thing to hear at that time.  Fathers are so special when they are GREAT and I am very fortunate to have an AMAZING one. I love you Dad...

This page was created for Challenge #16 with Color-Me-Scrappy be sure to click on over and check out the other DT's work, impressive talent as always!!!!

This page features a hybrid technique, after I completed the traditional layout with My Mind's Eye paper, Jilly Bean Soup Letters and Close to My Heart studs, I took a photo of it.  i imported the photo into my Creative Memories Stoybook software and added my journalling.

Grand Slam

Here is my interpretation of the colour palette for Challenge #13 at Color-Me-Scrappy  I thought these colours worked so well with Carter and Sienna's T-Ball photos.  

I used a variety of product leftovers I had kicking around, have you ever created a page with all the leftovers? It is very "freeing" to release yourself from little pieces of left-over bits!!!!

Products used, Close to My Heart paper, kraft strips, brads, canvas stickers and cardstock, Maya Road pocket, Simple Stories stickers, I am Roses and Prima flowers, Jillybean Soup Monograms and Tombo adhesive

Challenge 6 - Hunting for Eggs

Phew I was a little late getting this up, yikes what a crazy week!  Check out all the great looking pages of inspiration at Color-Me-Scrappy and play along with the challenge.  This month there is a mystery bag full of goodies!  Working with a colour palette is really fun, you can combine it with your favourite sketch site to really push the envelope!  Have fun ladies and happy crafting! 

 These colours did not seem hard to me but once I started I became challenged as to how I would get that red in the page!  Nothing like a ribbon flower to fix that! I complimented it with some red letters and a touch of red in the circle paper.  I used CTMH cardstock and patterned paper, Core'dinations embossed, cardstock, Jillybean Soup patterned paper, CTMH shaped acrylic and chipboard shapes. American Crafts and basic Grey letters, CTMH ribbon, rub-ons and brads, Maya Road Button and Fabircland cording trim.

I made these flowers with ribbon and a hot glue gun.

This was an embroidery floss bracelet my bonus daughter made and I twisted
it up to make this cute button embellie!

Proud of My Hockey Star

Challenge #5 at Color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com has some great colours for you to try.  This one was not my "go-to" colours so certainly a challenge to make it work!  I used a couple snips from an old batch of Authentique.  Most of the paper and the brads are Karen Foster, JillyBean Soup chipboard letters and a hockey stick all from a BoysRule hockey themed kit I picked up at Scrapfest! LOVE IT!  I added some ribbon from my stash some CTMH twine, stamp and tag.  I hope you can all be challenged too at Color-Me-Scrappy, try out a challenge and win a prize, it is seriously fun to try to work with a colour palette, so try it out!
