Campus Visit

Here's a layout I made using mostly Echo Park Times & Seasons. I added some vintage buttons, some arrow from CTMH, a vinyl clock that was in my stash and a pretty doily. I got the doily and Times & Seasons pack from Rebecca. Thanks, Rebecca!! She does amazing work also if you'd care to go visit her.  Anyway, I'm entering this layout into Simon Says Anything Goes--my favorite challenge hands down! :-)

Thanks for visiting!

My Sister, My Friend

Here is my twin sister in various moods at the Heard Museum in Phoenix earlier this summer.  I was really excited this morning when I found this sketch by Sketchy Thursdays and the combined "friend" challenge at Scrapfit!!!! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get lucky this week! I play these two challenges all of the time and haven't won a prize on either challenge--now, mind you, I have been very lucky all over blog-land winning prizes, and I am not complaining!  I just love the prizes being offered this time! :-)  My friend Stacy wanted tickets on a layout, too. They represent "ticket to fun" to me.  I've won many of Stacy's challenges, so I play for fun (though I still win a lot) there and hope more of you will play along so she can send prizes out to as many different people as possible!!! She's such a gracious and friendly host!  I did a little spritzing on the layout which is hard to see in the photo but looks pretty good in person!  I'd been hoarding the multi-colored clouds for a while as the company who makes them is no longer in business to my understanding.

Thanks so much for visiting! I won't be posting much in the next few days!!!!

A Layout About Me

I made this GREEN layout about me (ha ha, no picture) for The Paper Variety's latest challenge!  I got the interview prompt from Creating Keepsakes.   I used Trunk Bay Tattered Angels mist (hard to see but I did use a TA tree mask also) that I got with a gift certificate I won to Coordinates Collections.  I just love the Cosmo Cricket paper that I used.  The darling hedgie is one I bought  from Purple Pumpkin and the crochet flower is one that Jessica sent me from Australia. I've been hoarding it as I only have one left of the 5 she sent. My friend Stacy had the idea to not use a photo in the layout. So, the Creating Keepsakes prompt worked out nicely!

Homecoming 2010 - The Kiss

I did the TRIFECTA this week over at Design Dollies! It was a little hard until I realized I could paint the doilies and add a pale, shimmery yellow ticket that wouldn't clash with the color challenge!
