Sweet Spring

Here's my LO for Color Combos Galore Challenge 184. This color combo looked much easier than it was to actually work with. I think it's because I didn't have a coordinated set of papers and embellishments so I had to make my own flowers...after much trial to get the right look and feel.

Title: Sweet Spring

Materials: Cardstock - American Crafts; Patterned Papers - Basic Grey; Mist - Tattered Angels; Velvet Ribbon - American Crafts; Journaling Diecut - Tim Holtz; Buttons - Nikki Sivils; Misc ribbon and doily; Pen & Rub-ons - American Crafts; Fabric Tab - 7 Gypsies; Chipboard - Scrapworks; Paint - Folk Art


I hope you get to try this pretty color combo this week.

Some great news...

I'm so thrilled to be part of the Pencil Lines 2011-2012 DT!!! This was one of those that I wasn't counting on getting in...really was just hoping for the best as I know many people want to be on this team..so the email I got the other day just about made my week! Here's the LO I made for my entry...

Title: Hello Sleepyhead

Many of my recent LOs have a romantic feel to it...that's what happens when I look through my stash and see lots of Webster's Pages papers waiting to be used...which is what I love most about being on challenge blogs...the chance to dig through my stash and use them all up, up, up...

Side Note: The Scrap More with Pia and Ria Class has been tentatively moved to April 2, 2011 as the materials have not yet arrived. For our paid and confirmed attendees, please confirm that you are available on this day, if you haven't yet by sending us an email.
