"Happy" color challenge additions


Here's my layout for last Saturday's class. These are photos of our hometown parade. It really IS funky but I do love it. I used Cloud 9 Design paper and matching dimensional stickers which is unusual for me; I rarely use stickers. But I needed a fairly quick and easy page because I was heading out early to line dance at the county fair.

Two more cards I made the following morning using the same colors. I walked into my studio and saw all the stuff still out from my creative flurry of the day before and wanted to try something with the leftovers. I really like the little "happy" card. For the other, I switched around the background card stock and used the regal rose instead of rose red. As I suspected, the versamarked circles look more stunning on the darker paper.

Find Joy


Card I designed for Kristina's latest Color Challenge. I am using the soon to be retired SU! Polka Dots and Petals and Polka Dots and Paisley sets. I think those little circles done with versamark are just soooo cute. At first I just had the Regal Rose ribbon but it really looked almost the same color as the Rose Red background so I matted the ribbon on a piece of the Regal Rose card stock and stamped it with the little flowers in craft whisper white. TFL.

Rengstoff Park

This is my layout for class this Saturday. It is a great layout for LOTS of pictures. There are 16 photos here. The paper and matching accessories are from Prima Marketing, Inc. "Urban Cosmos". I really love the cute title letters; they are painted chipboard with diamond glaze. My LSS put all their Golden paint products on sale at 40% off so I grabbed up quite a collection of colors. This time, I really tried to mix my acrylic paint to match the colors in the photos. The Golden paints mix so well. It was super fun and I am pleased with how they came out.

So Much Fun

Here is my layout for my class on Saturday. I love the clear flowers from Li'l Davis Designs. And adding the gem sparkles shaped like flowers by Hero Arts added just the right amount of bling. The pictures make me happy. They remind me of a wonderful Saturday I spent with my daughter in old town Los Gatos. First we went and painted pottery, then explored shops and ate ice cream. It was a beautiful May day, the weather bright and sunny but not too warm. We have so much fun together.
