Summer Fun

Amy Sumrall had a new collab with Pamela Donnis, Hot Feet Cool Treat:

I love the summery colors and even if we don’t really have hot summers here (luckily!) I had so much fun playing with this kit:

I’m so glad this is a short week and I plan to relax all weekend! 🙂

More Happiness

Last night I played some more with Mari Koegelenberg’s mini kit, Happiness. It’s such a fun kit!

I took this picture yesterday evening: the sun was out and it was raining, the light was very pretty and these birds were so cute!

End of June

July sneaked up on me too fast and last night I realized the end of June had arrived, and I was a few points short for getting my GC at ScrapMatters.. So, I had to put together 2 pages to get to 60 points. 😉 I used my favorite kit as of late, Life’s a Beach by Sahlin Studio. 😉

This one was for a My Story Matters challenge, about a vacation we did as kids:

I didn’t spend too much time trying to fix them, but I’m really disappointed that I couldn’t get the pictures to look any better. They were all so blue! I just desaturated them a bit, but I need to look up a good tutorial so I can improve them.

And this was for the In Living Color challenge:

OK, that’s it for June! 😉

Busy Week!

This has been a super busy week so far and I’m really glad it’s a short week! Can’t wait for tomorrow to be over, so I can finally relax and scrap! 😉

Anyway, Monday night I did my page for Week 3 of the ScrapOrchard CT contest. I have to say that even this week the kit was not my typical style (yes, again!), but I LOVE the page I did!

Yes, I really love this page. It’s totally my style and I loved playing with this kit!
I started out thinking I might try my hand at a fantasy LO, but that just isn’t my style: so I incorporated what I had done (the watercolor blue/green paper, tower and the princess) as a scene in my LO. 😉 So, yes, it turned out to be totally ‘me’: bright colors, pretty elements, journaling.. Maybe a bit too cluttered, but I love it. I really hope to pass this turn but I know it’s going to be super tough. The gallery is filled with amazing entries and I feel like I should have spent more time on my page to get a shot on making the cut.. But hey, that’s what I came up with, and I love it, and I hope it’s good enough!

I forgot to post this page from last week!! I did it for the latest Roadmap to Scrap at ScrapMatters and I’m really proud of how it turned out! 😉

I made this cupcakes during my mom’s visit, and she picked the US theme. 😉 I’m very happy with how they turned out, because red is very hard to obtain when coloring fondant, but I think it turned out very nicely!

Project 365 and Other News

Last week I didn’t do my P365 page because my mom was here and I didn’t have time for it, but this weekend I did 2 weeks’ worth of pages and I’m all caught up again. 🙂

I love the summery colors of these pages! 😉

And, some excellent news: I made it through the second cut in the CT contest at Scrap Orchard and I’m now in week 3!! This cut was a big one and only half of the contestants are going on: I feel so lucky to be going on!
