Lovely Layout

Hello again everyone! Todays contribution to the PCW monthly challenge is a beautiful side pennant layout designed by Melin which is available for you to purchase here!

I have used the layout design to create a layout using red as a theme.

I used papers from Close to My Heart to create this layout. The colours were cranberry, whisper, slate, pear, black, white daisy and colonial white. I also used a red paper from the Fundamentals Adventure collection as the main backing paper. It is a cute design with white circles. To finish off the flowers, I used some pearl dots in the centres.

The stamps used are from the stamp set - Your own kind of Wonderful (D1627) available from Melin's CTMH shop or - if you are in New Zealand, my CTMH shop.

We would love to see you joining in our challenge for this month - Anything goes with a touch of red!

A New Challenge

The theme for the challenge over at Paper Crafting World this week is vacations. What better way of spending one's vacation than at the beach?

I used Melin's Playing in the Sand cutting files to create this scrapbook layout. If you have been following my blog for the past couple of years, you will know that I don't do scrapbooking, but I decided to give it a go for this week's challenge!

The sand coloured pieces were all cut from Bazzill Bling and were edged with pumice stone distress ink before layering them up together.


The little girl bear was cut from Bazzill Basic (Pinecone) and edged with vintage photo before putting together.
All the elements were cut with the Cricut Expression using SCAL2.

Please go over to the challenge which is here, and have a look at the other DT examples and have a go at the challenge as well!
