~A Wonderful Year~

Colour Q's Challenge is a fun medley of colors.

I presented the colors with some Hello Sunshine rays, fun snowflakes (my new fave from PTI's Winter Penguin) and that eraser from Teach & Inspire...love that abstract element!

Papertrey November 2012 Blog Hop

Papertrey Ink November 2012 Blog Hop

Cover Art Inspiration is a great excuse to pull out all your favorite images and just have a go at it.

I was inspired by the Weekend Londen cover that

piled image upon image in all sorts of fun colors.

No masking or order required~

I loved merging all these images together and overlapping them.

It's what's best about this season...wonderful memories and events all colliding in one brief moment.

There's nothing neat and tidy about Christmas~

it's probably the most emotional time of the year.

There are tears and laughter~

with old memories meeting with new traditions.

I'm looking forward to this being the best....

~Ala Mode Just a Note~

I've always liked the trendy MFT ala modes...I finally got one!

Isn't she sweet?


I went radical with sunbeams from Papertrey's Hello Sunshine and the eraser element from Teach  & Inspire (my new abstract weapon of choice). ;)




I was definitely inspired by these dresses that have so much movement....you don't have to budge to get the vibe.

Let Us Adore Him

Papertrey's challenge this week,

Make It Monday #92 Layered Vellum Die Cuts

hosted by Melissa

will take your card to a new 3D level.

Bring on the bright DP and layer it with vellum for a muted effect.

I love the inner belly goodness I was able to throw in between the vellum and DP layer-glitter and snowflakes.

I used the

Authentique November Sketch Challenge.

My colors are from

Color Throwdown #219.

I couldn't do it....I could not bring myself to face the shopping madness.

Kudos to you who were brave enough to go out there and try! ;)
