TRIFECTA

This week over at the Design Dollies I decided to take all 3 of their challenges and put it all in one for their Trifecta challenge!!! So I had to use this sketch:

This color combo:

and this list of elements:

1) Lace
2) The color PINK
3) Stripes
4) A crown
5) TWO 3-d elements (or more)

So this is what I cam up with:

I kept it pretty simple this week. Nothing too flashy ; )

So I used the sketch, I used the color combo and I managed to use all of the elements listed. I don't know if you can see the little flower on the flash card but I made it with striped paper. The crown is on your Royal Highness little Lola : ) I didn't have any lace except for this flashy blue piece that I got in a kit once and never used. The 3-D elements were not hard since I usually have oodles of elements on my layouts.

This was a great challenge you should come play along HERE.

LAst chance to win and a layout!

This is your last day for a chance to win this fabulous stamp

Go HERE and look on the right side of the page to where it says Name this range and select BLUEBERRY KISSES. Make sure you leave me a comment and I will enter your name for a chance to win this awesome stamp from Studio Calico.

Now on to my layout...

This layout is for the challenge over at These are a Few of my Favorite Things. Go here to see the challenge. It's about your favorite book. Well, I just couldn't choose. I love to read. I have hundreds of books and my good friend is also a best selling author. She guides me in the right direction for the best literature out there : ) Anyways for this layout I took a 8x10 picture of my books and then took some October Afternoon Thrift Shop paper and made it look like folded pages of a book. I then took pics of some of my fav books and added them to the layout. This layout is very 3-D although the picture's don't show it very well. Anyways I love how it turned out.

Sketch with the Dollies

I was so excited to see this lovely sketch from the Design Dollies. I'm sure everyone know how much I LOVE playing with them. Here is the sketch:

and today I got my Studio Calico goodies and used them to create the layout:

I love the Hambly Doily overlay which I used for my base paper. I like the simplicity of the layout. Clean and simple!

Hope on over and play along with the Dollies.

A treat

Good morning everyone. I hope all is well all over the world. I am slowly recovering from the in-laws being here for 1 week. All I can say is I am sooooo glad to have me house back.... don't ask for more details because they aren't pretty : (

Anyhoo, on to some better things. I have a tasty treat here today courtesy of The Candy Shop. This is a sister blog to the design team I'm on over at XOXO. This week the lollipop girls from Candy shop designs had a love challenge. Please check it out here.

Here is my layout for the challenge:

Please come play along because there is a FABULOUS prize!!!

It's MONDAY!!!

and this is what I came up with:

I know I actually did a double pager! Can you believe it?

Loving the Dollies

I just love playing along with the Dollies. Every Thursday they give us a sketch to work with and this is the one for this week:

Here is my take:

So I have to admit I don't love how it turned out : ( I had a bigger vision and this was not how I pictured it but... live and learn right? Anyways this is what I came up with even if I'm not happy with it.

Sketchy Thursday Challenge

Okay here is the sketch

Now run along to here to see the fabulous prize!

Mother Goose

This layout I did for the challenge over at the Design Dollies. It was to do a layout inspired about a nursery rhyme. I had my little babe out on the swing yesterday and was pushing her and singing Rock-A-Bye-Baby when it dawned on me that I should take a picture of her and use it for this challenge. I love it! I did a garland style banner where I saw the tutorial over at the Hambly Blog. It's a little hard to see since I took this photo bright and early this morning. But I love this layout. Super simple, and clean.

I just saw on Moxie Fab World a picture of some lanterns that reminded me of this page!

Project 12 April

It's that time again. My layout for project 12 for the month of April.

The layout is mostly about Easter but in my journaling I talked about some other events that happened during the month as well. For some reason I didn't take a whole lot of photos in April. That means I have the camera out in full force this month! If you are playing along don't forget to link your layouts HERE.

Something fun

So I thought it would be fun to play along with These are a few of my favorite things. The challenge is to do a layout about your favorite music. I love music. I love all kinds of music but the one type I tend to love the most is Alternative. Here is a layout about my love for Alternative!

Monday, Monday

Happy Monday everyone! I hope all you mommies out there had a wonderful Mothers Day. I know I did : )

Anyways, do you know what Mondays are? It's color challenge day over at the Design Dollies. Here is the colors for this week:

and this is the layout I did with it. I used Studio Calico rub-ons and Crate Paper "Brook", and Sassafras banner stickers!
