Pretty in Pink-Bombshell Hop!

Hey everyone,
 I am SO very excited to hanging out with the Bombshell's today. This is my very first hop and I am over the moon! The source of our Bombshell inspiration
Pretty In Pink – use pink, pastel, or spring inspired projects. 
Doesn’t sound like your “cup of tea” How about an 80’s inspired project… 

A lot of different ways that this can be taken…it’s up to you to do your magic.
 What a great move eh!?!
The main character Andy is such an eclectics soul and she expresses herself through Fashion!
Here are some cards I made inspired by her incredible fashion sense:

Scrapfest-Kitchener.ON 2010

Hey all,
I am busy preparing for a scrap-retreat this week-end. I will be scrappin' with 40 lovely ladies and showing the a little 12X12 layout I have for them. {Boy, my punchy hand it getting the worst of it!}
I thought I would show you some picture my friend and I took at Scrapfest a few weeks ago.
Most of the time we wandered in the market but we did peek at the crop room too!

Techni-color

Hey all,
I was excited looking at the Cinema Saturday Challenge and couldn't resist making this card without knowing a thing about the movie! I just had an idea to so show the contrast between Black and White film and the digitally re-mastered color.
 I did however use a few cues from the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #76 - North by Northwest post. I used paper that had an image of a Man in suit and of corse the paper piercing.
This card also qualifies for the "baby got back" and April sketch over at the PCP Bombshell group.
I'm going to watch the movie now!

I know it's pink...

Hey all. This is one of the first card I made with my Bombshell stamps.
And It's PINK! If you haven't noticed I am not a fan of pink. I have pink issues! When my girls asked me to paint there room pink I choose a salmon. I just couldn't do it.
Bombshell stamps are having a blog hop next wednesday and if you like pink you will want to stop by. I will have a few beauties for you.

Granny's apron

Hey all,
I still don't have a camera cord. I have contacted Fuji and the are out of stock right now. I hope I can get one soon... Here is a card for a few challenges.
I used this Challenge for most of the inspiration!
I had a vision of a granny's apron. I used gingham paper to fold a fan and trimmed it with lace, pearls and twill ribbon. I didn't tie a bow because I thought this knot would suit a granny making jam much better. All perfect elements of a souther granny. I also used the sentiment from a PCD stamp set. I thought it was the perfect quote for a souther granny to say: You're Dandy.

I flipped the sketch at Laura's Sketch 50 
Monochromatic card, I used Core'dinations paper and sanded it for a weathered look.
And last but by far not least!
Piled it on with Challenge #15 "Spring"

UP UP and AWAY!!!

Hey all,
Today I am a Guest designer over at the Cinema Saturday Challenge! {YEAH!}
I really enjoy the Challenges the ladies post every week. Movies are my second favorite hobby.
Did any one guess the movie from the sneak peaks? I never get those things...Do you?
This week's Feature Film is Pixar's UP!  and the challenge is balloons.
"Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #74 - UP!"
The movie up is about an old Man who wants to live out his dream of seeing South America's wildlife.
He does this by attaching a Gazzilloin balloons to his house, UP, and away he goes!


I created this card with a gazzilion balloon and the quote " Adventure is out there!" from the movie.
To choose the colors I used the bird Carl meets in South America as inspiration. 

That bird is so funny and the way the kid love the bird is so sweet. I stamped and cut out a LOT of balloons for this card and I layer them with dimensionals to make it look like it is popping off the page.

I used the Mojo Monday #133 to create my card.

A Simple hi!

This weeks Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #73- Sense and Sensibility. I love Jane Austin movies, I am not much of a reader. {I think I am too hyper for it} the challenge it to make a Clean and simple card. This cards is so simple and has a beautiful clean look.  I love the wide nature shots that so many Jane Austin Movies have. There is so much happening in the English country-side. Picnics, swimming, landscape painting and long walks.

This card is also submission for the Embellish Magazine.
I used the sketch over at 2S4Y Laura's Sketch 49 and the Verve March Project Parade challenge.
