Ladybug Trio

Monday June 4, 2012

Welcome to a new release day over at Paper Pretties.. http://paperprettiesblog.blogspot.com/

We have two darling new images with sentiments.. We have HIALEAH and LADYBUG TRIO.. Of course I love ladybugs and so had to use that image and sentiment.

The challenge this week at Paper Pretties is "USE BLING" we all have bling so I hope you play along. You do not need to use a Paper Pretties image although they have some awesome ones.. so I hope you play along.

I really like how this card came together. I was not sure what I wanted to do and going through my paper stash I found this paper and thought wow, so I kept it simple and pretty much let the paper do the work..

Unscripted Sketch #161 http://unscriptedsketches.com/ It's Saturday and a new sketch.. This one has so many different possibilities..

This is what I came up with. I have quite a few washi tapes so I decided to use them and this is what I came up with. The sketch left lots of room for the sentiment so chose a good size one and of course I had to add the flowers to finish it off. I like how it's a nice bright card. Very girly.

It's June and to a new challenge at Catch the bug http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/ this Saturday's challenge is ANY THING GOES.. so bring it on.. I love this calendar page, I have one at home in my craft room and one at work. A group of about 6-8 ladies make some calendar pages and one of the ladies puts the set together and wa-la you have great 12 wonderful months to look at. Of course with all ladies you get quite a few different types/styles of pages. It's just so much fun looking at the wonderful works for the whole month. I'm looking forward to the calendar for 2013.
