Eagle Sighting

Double Feature on my blog today!!!

Paper Girls Challenge Blog has a delicious Color Palette:

Coral, Navy, and Cream.

It was a cinch to combine the color palette with

Nuts About Sketches-Week 266.

~Eagle Sighting~

The photos are a little too dark to see the Eagles unless you are in person so here are some close ups.

As you can imagine it was VERY difficult to convince the eagles we meant no harm so we had to take the picture from quite a distance.

Stop by both blogs, get the details, and get CRAFTING!!!

Supplies:

Paper:DCWV and MME

Twine:MME

Punch:Uchida

Brads:CTMH

Alpha:American Crafts

Circle Cutter:Kreaxions

Printed Memories

Monthly Reveal on the Just Imagine Crafts blog today.

I chose to do a layout based on memories of my grandfather's funeral. I really want all the paper strips incorporated into the photo album, but it can be hard to make a page look natural with these type of memories.

~ Printed Memories ~

I decided to go for a classic red and white scheme with simple embellishements. To frame the strips of paper I used solid cardstock and Kreaxions punch # 915. By punching once on each side of a two inch strip I made a flower design and double tabs.

Supplies:

Paper:DCWV

Flowers:Petaloo and Prima

Alpha:American Crafts

Punch:Kreaxions 4-in-1 #915

Adore, Cherish, Forever

My neighbor is having a baby (possibly even as we speak)!!!

In preparation I have delightedly searched the internet for fun challenges and then combined them all on this card. Hope it looks like an artfully layered collage rather than an Embellie Sneeze!

~ Adore ~

The first challenge I particpated with was the newest Red Carpet Studio challenge #36:Baby Mama, for obvious reasons!!!

Then, since I never can seem to make myself use my gorgeous Webster's Pages bloomers I checked Use It Tuesday and sure enough, they'd like for me to play along!

Challenge # 55:You Can't Touch Touch This

I still needed a sketch so I stopped by Rochelle Spears Facebook page for some inspiration. She had linked up with Pamela's World of Scrap:Challenge #235 and the sketch was pure inspiration, with plenty of room for my bloomers!

Finally, I ran over to Scrapbook Steals:Monday Craft Madness #24 and found that they were looking for projects with Dimension. I added gems, enamel dots, and foam adhesive squares under the dog and the baby buggy.



Supplies:

Paper:Webster's Pages

Gems:Prima

Enamel Dots:MME

Flower Trim:Webster's Pages

Punch:Kreaxions #901
Ink:Ranger

Sketch:

# 235a

(so that I could feel each slot with an image)
