Playing Catch Up...

Hello, all! This month is a short one. Normally a month seems to fly by but this one was non-existent! I am trying to play catch up on some of the challenges I signed up for this month and I still failed to complete them all. I really need to get into my scraproom more often. So here are some projects that I created this month.

Flame-haired Layout. This is a photo of my youngest daughter when she first dyed her hair red. I think it's a wonderful color for her; fits her personality... Lol. This is for the Monochrome Challenge week 1 over at scrapbook.com. I used a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy and the papers are from Colorbok. I made a couple of roses out of ribbon and the rest of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Mother and Daughter 2 Page Layout. This is a 2 page layout I created for my cousin's pageant album. The photos are of her and her daughter participating in a mother/daughter pageant. The colors are in keeping with the requested color scheme. I used the sketch provided for the 2 Page Sketch Challenge over at scrapbook.com.

You Rock Layout. This is for my cousin's pageant album. I went for a wild and glam type page to showcase her daughter's "hip hop" look. I created the flourishes with liquid pearls and craft plastic. The papers are from Glitz Design and the alphas are some that I bought a VERY long time ago and never used. This is also for the Monochrome Challenge week 2.

Wedding Album Page. This is just one of the pages in a wedding album I making for one of my husband's friends and his soon-to-be-wife. I think it will make a wonderful wedding gift. I am entering this one in the Monochrome Challenge week 3.

Wedding Card. This is a card I made for the wedding couple that I am making the wedding album for. The stamp is from The Greeting Farm. The papers are from Bo Bunny's Enchanted collections and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I hope you enjoyed viewing these few projects. I will try and keep up from now on, and try to stagger my project posts. Lol. Thanks for stopping by.

Pageantry

Hello, all! Time for some pageantry... Most of you, paper artists, know that there's nothing like the feeling of creating something for a friend or family member that is truly appreciated. I love creating for others and I often create scrapbooking gifts for family. Well, my cousin Alice looked through my scrapbooks while she was visiting me and said how she would love for me to create a book for her daughter. Her daughter has recently joined the pageantry circuit and she thought this would be a great way to record the experience. I have completed a few layouts so far and have kept with the theme and color combo that she and her daughter chose for this book. I hope you all enjoy this bit of pageantry and glitz!

Enchanted Layout. This page is based on the Scraps of Darkness sketch for December. I used my December SOD kit to create it. The papers are Bo Bunny Enchanted; the flowers are Petaloo and Prima. I used Tim Holtz's limited edition Distress Ink in Ripe Permission for the edges and some of the butterflies. I used a punch for the butterflies and Stickles in purple to create the circle. The flourishes in the corners are Prima Resist Canvas.

Royalty Layout. This page is based on a PageMap by Becky Fleck. The papers are from Glitz Design. I created the flourishes with Liquid Pearls in Lavender Lace, added some mist from Lindy's Stamp Gang in Witch's Potion Purple, and some Webster's Pages Dazzle Gems. The alphas are from Thickers.

Untitled Layout. This page does not have a title yet, since I wanted to get my cousin's opinion about that before I added it. The papers are from my stash (don't remember the manufacturers). The flowers are Prima and Recollections. I used a butterfly border punch for the middle trim and used Liquid Pearls in White Opal and Flamingo. The black flourishes are chipboard from the Bo Bunny Enchanted Collection.

Model Behavior Double Page Layout. This page is based on a sketch from Scrapbook, Etc that was chosen for a challenge I signed up for at scrapbook.com. The papers are from Glitz Design. Again I used Webster's Pages Dazzle Gems, Liquid Pearls, and Prima and Petaloo flowers. The alphas are stickers from American Crafts.
