Fun~day Friday #149

Our team this week is Team B. Our sponsors this week are Di's Digis and Little Blue Button Stamps. And our theme this week is Anything Goes!!!


The challenge starts today, Friday, July 29th at 12:00 AM (eastern time) and ends Friday, August 5th at 6:00 PM (eastern time). And here is what I created using Peony.  
My mom and I were given a beautiful peony plant when we moved into the house so I will use pictures of it on the layout. Of course it just seems to be my luck that when I go out to take a picture the blooms are off :(   So...once it blooms again I will get good photos of it. And this page will be the 2nd half to a layout that also includes Fun~day Friday #162...so stay tuned to see the other half :)  I used the retired CTMH Chantilly paper pack and embellishments for this and colored the peony in with my COPICs. 

I love seeing what everyone creates for the Fun~day Friday challenges! Please make sure to stop by my DT sister's blogs to check out what they made for this challenge, I know you'll love it!

Fun~day Friday #148

Our team this week is Team A. Our sponsor this week is Scrappers Delight. And our theme this week is a Challenge - Coral, Tan and Aqua!
The challenge starts today, Friday, July 22nd at 12:00 AM (eastern time) and ends Friday, July 29th at 6:00 PM (eastern time). And here is what I created using Under the Sea.  
It's a little hard to see in the photo but the chest is tan and the seashell is a light coral with a tan (liquid) pearl in the center, And of course the background paper is a beautiful aqua...and almost the last of my stash of this line :(   I really had so much fun with this layout and challenge!! I am going to be giving this page to my one sister. She and my BIL brought my mom down to see me when I was living in Florida and we went to go visit my mom's cousins and got a nice picture before her cousin's wife passed away. I figure my sister will want to journal her memories so I left the journaling box blank.

I love seeing what everyone creates for the Fun~day Friday challenges! Please make sure to stop by my DT sister's blogs to check out what they made for this challenge, I know you'll love it!

Fun~day Friday #147

Our team this week is Team B. Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish. And our theme this week is a 321 Challenge - 3 Colors, 2 Embellis, 1 Technique!
The challenge starts today, Friday, July 15th at 12:00 AM (eastern time) and ends Friday, July 22nd at 6:00 PM (eastern time). And here is the card I created using Sally & Her Umbrella 


My three colors are yellow, blue and pink. My two embellis are the seashell and star fish. I think it's good I could only put on two...I might have gotten carried away with adding them! And my technique is the cloud embossing. I'm not sure what occassion I want to use this for so I haven't added any sentiments yet. It might end up being a Thank You for a friend who lives down south.

I love seeing what everyone creates for the Fun~day Friday challenges! Please make sure to stop by my DT sister's blogs to check out what they made for this challenge, I know you'll love it!
