Challenge Yourself

Today we'd like you guys to challenge yourselves . . .

Grab 2 or 3 co-ordinating sheets of patterned paper & see just how many layouts, cards, & altered projects you can make!

I used 3 sheets of these papers from Daisy Bucket to make 6 layouts (plus I have a tad bit left yet for a card!)

Now, of course I added some basic cardstock to each of these and did some Cricutting, Sizzixing, & stickerizing, but I got alot of pages finished.

This technique would be perfect for putting together a themed album quickly.

These pages are all 12x12's so just think how far a couple sheets of paper would go if you were making a smaller sized album!

Here's a closer pix of each of them for you to view (just in case you want to lift any ideas!)

(For some reason the greens photographed in different shades, but all of the pages were made with the same bright, lime green stock)

Hope you all find some of these color-blocking techniques helpful & useful for

your upcoming layouts.

Thanks for visiting . . . Please stop by again soon!

Our 1st Blog Challenge

Yep . . .that's right. We're going to jump into this blogging world by challenging everyone who visits us here with a personal challenge . . . one that you can use for your "All About Me" books!

Today we celebrate the 1st Day of Spring!

Our days are now longer & warmer . . . greener & sunnier . . . less dreary & definitely more happy!

So our challenge to you all is to scrap a page for yourself . . . a "Feel~Good" kind of page. . . .and this is your theme: "5 Things that make You Happy about Spring"
It's a great chance to scrap the everyday kind of little things in your life . . . things YOU love!

We're also gonna share a great sketch that would be perfect for this theme . . . Use it if you'd like or choose one of your own.

We found this sketch over here at Moma's Blog . . . . her sketches are all beautifully done in color, as well as great detailing!

And . . .to give you a little inspiration to get going, the Shoppe Girls
have all listed their most favorite things about Spring.

So go visit their blogs to see what makes them happy!

Sandy, Shelley, Amanda, & Me.

Have fun with this everyone & Happy Spring!
