Layout 6-10 2013 Challenge

I've decided to post the next layouts as a group because they are all photos from the Winnipeg Zoo.  Do you recognize the Basic Gray paper I've used?  I've had it in my stash for a long time now and it just feels good to finally use some of it.

Fairly clean and simple, a few embellishments here and there (did you notice the real feathers?) and voila! 

Have a great weekend, thanks for stopping in!

Card 4 - 2013 Challenge

Happy Valentines Day!  Do you do something grand on this day, or do you prefer simple acts of love to celebrate the day?  I love going out for dinner, but always prefer to wait a day or two after Valentines Day...the restaurants are not as busy and the atmosphere is usually more intimate.  Tonight I have french class anyway....learning to speak the language of love!  I have my valentines all ready to hand out to some special friends.  These were made with the "Whoo's Your Valentine" kit and use our new treat tubes.   I have a kit available if you want to whip this up!

 

This little card I copied right from our new Idea Book, except that I didn't have any of the stick pins so I just stamped the flowers.  Paper pack is Chantilly and I used "A Garden" stamp set.  Each piece is hand stitched! I cut strips of our glitter paper (love it!) instead of using the glitter ribbon.  This is one of the cards I will be making next week with my group of lovely ladies.

 

Hope you have a "love"ly day today!

Layouts 4 & 5 - 2013 Challenge

Brrr, it's chilly outside and we've got another snowstorm forecasted for the weekend.  I want winter to be over!  However, when it's cold outside, I get to spend more time in my scrappin' room which is a fairly decent trade off!  I've been busy getting ready for my open house on the weekend but took the day yesterday to go get my hair done, went to see Les Miserables finally! What a fantastic movie!

So here are two more layouts I've recently completed:

This one is being entered in the Scrap it With A Song Challenge for this week. The song is "As Long As You Love Me" by Justin Beiber so I used Love in my title.

Do you recognize this CTMH paper collection from a few years ago?  Good Times is still one of my favourites, I only have scraps left now.

So I'm off to get my scrap on....thanks for stopping in!
