My Paper Crafting Creating with Pink

Let me just say that with three granddaughters creating with pink is not difficult.  I have done a lot of pink layouts in the past three years and am sure I will do many more. For the challenge at My Paper Crafting I created these two layouts are of my granddaughter Kenzie who is 2 and a real ham.   

Recipe

Holiday Cakes for the vine cut a 2 inches 

Sweetie Title is from Elmo and Friends cut at 3 inches 

Silhouette of girls heads is from A Child's Year cut at 4 inches.  

The cut is actually of a girl holding a shamrock but I covered the shamrock with the roses. 

Please join us this week for one of the challenges here at My Paper Crafting.  

We would love to see your creations.  

DCVW and Creative Scrappers Challenges

Over the weekend I worked on some challenges.  I started with the DCWV Stack-a-holic June Challenge.  Each month DCWV and Erin host a layout sketch challenge and now they have added a card sketch challenge the past few months.  I have been lucky to win several of these and since I am a DCWV stack a holic I love these challenges.  For this month I used the beautiful red, white and blue stack I bought last year called Nantucket.  This stack is full of beautiful papers.  

Here is my two page layout together entitled "Cutie Pie."

Cutie is cut from Elmo and Friends Holiday.  Pie cut From My Kitchen.  

This is the DCWV sketch which I used for the left page.  

I then made the second page using the Creative Scrappers Sketch #213.  

The rosettes were made with the Tim Holtz rosette makers.  

Ribbon Michaels.

Here is the Creative Scrappers sketch 

I then decided to use some of my scraps and some more paper from the stack to make my challenge card entry.  Here is the DCWV sketch for June.  

Here is my card.  I made a double rosette using the Tim Holtz rosette maker and also used the rosette cut for the blue scallopped edge.  Ribbon from Michaels.

Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge- Use a frame

Hello everyone!  Excuse me for just a second while I stop to do the "happy dance." I am still pinching myself that I am now a part of the BTTB2 Design Team.  I am so lucky to be a part of this wonderful creative group that have inspired me for so long.  I love the challenges at BBTB2 and this first challenge as part of the DT is a great one.  

Melissa is challenging everyone to use a frame from any cart and for a real challenge to use it on a layout.  Now if you don't want to do a layout a card is fine too. 

I keep quite busy doing layouts of my three precious granddaughters.  Before I share my layout I have some exciting news.  We found out Friday after two daughters and then three granddaughters we are going to have a grandson in October.  I finally get to make baby boy layouts.  I am so excited!!!!!!

For my layout today this is Kenzie who is going to be the proud big sister.  

I used a Martha Stewart stack 

Recipe:

Frame cut from Elegant Edges page 41 at 6.75.  I cut the shadow one time and the frame two times so I could pop dot it for dimension.  

Cutie is from Elmo and Friends Holiday Cart page 26 cut at 2.5 inches 

Bug is cut from the Mickey Font at 2.5 inches 

The heart border is also from Elegant Edges page 41 cut at 1.5 inches.  I then used the cut out hearts on the frame and title for accents.  

The ladybugs along the bottom  are from Walk in my Garden page 118 cut at 1.5 and 1.75 inches 

The top ladybug is cut from page 119 at 1.75 inches. 

I tied bows with a mixture of orange, pink and green twine.  

Used my MS ladubyg punch 

Added gems to the inside of the hearts on the frame 

and chalked all edges 

This is the second page of the layout.  I kept this page flat.  

I would love to read your comments.  

I hope you will join us this week for the "Frame Challenge" and link up your project to BBTB2.   There are a lot of great frame carts so this should be a fun challenge.  I can't wait to see what everyone creates.  Happy Craftin!
