Supplies used:

Paper: Me & My Big Ideas, Colorbok

Ribbon

Flowers

Rick Rack

Bard

Journaling was added above the photo with a punched border and rick rack. 

Two circles were added under the flower as well as rick rack.  Ribbon was threaded through one end of the metal tag and the other end was placed in the center of the flower with a gem on top.

A closer look at the journaling block.

To the right of the photo is another circle, flowers and rick rack.  The center of the larger flower is a brad.  Ribbon was added across the page below the photo.

Max Loves Popcorn!

Hi there,

I have a layout to share with you that was submitted at Sketches 4 All for their November 1st Sketch Challenge (NOVsketch1).  You can see the challenge here.

The sketch:

And here's my layout titled, "Max Loves Popcorn!"

While I was eating popcorn, Max was SO interested and kept trying to jump on my lap... so I gave him one... not really thinking more about it.  BUT... he absolutely LOVED it!  So, we both were eating popcorn!  I just had to hold this one piece in front of him while I took the photo.  Look at that sweet little nose!  He's such a cute little character!

Supplies used:

Paper: Me & My Big Ideas

Stampin' Up! Border Punch

3D Border Sticker

Clear Stickers

Pop Dots

Sticker Letters

Photo Corner Stickers

Tickets

Staples

Circle Punch

Stick Pin

Here's a look at the upper portion of embellies on the left of my page.  The dog tag was matted onto two different pp and then on a larger cardstock circle.  The little bone was adhered onto cardstock, trimmed and added with a pop dot for some dimension.  I wrapped a banner around the stick pin.  Two tickets were staples together.

Just below the tickets I added more clear stickers.

Love these borders!  The 3D bones border was added under the photo.  And the cute little strip of doggie prints that I found in my stash and just had to use on my page!

On the bottom rectangle strip, I adhered a dog with pop dots and added a ball sticker too.

Here's a closer look at the left side of my page.

 

And another look at the dimension.  Part of the page title was added under the photo and the rest of the title was added on the right of the border strips.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hold On!

Hi there,

It's time for another Song Challenge (novsong14) that I'm hosting at Colorful Creations!  I hope you can join in on the fun too!  You can see the challenge here.

This months' song is by Air Supply titled, "All Out of Love."

Here are the lyrics:

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone 

Thinking of you till it hurts 

I know you hurt too, but what else can we do? 

Tormented and torn apart 

I wish I could carry your smile in my heart 

For times when my life seems so low 

It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring 

When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know 

CHORUS

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you 

I know you were right, believing for so long 

I'm all out of love, what am I without you? 

I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong 

I want you to come back and carry me home 

Away from these long lonely nights 

I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too? 

Does the feeling seem oh so right? 

What would you say, if I called on you now 

Saying that I can't hold on 

There's no easy way, it gets harder each day 

Please love me or I'll be gone... I'll be gone 

CHORUS

What are you thinking of? 

What are you thinking of? 

What are you thinking of? 

What are you thinking of? 

CHORUS x 3

And a photo of the band:

There are plenty of words to choose from... and here are a few examples to hopefully spark an idea or two for you to play along:

phone

thinking

I know you

I wish

believe

smile

heart

love

What are you thinking of?

The challenge is to use word(s) from the lyrics to create your project.  You can choose one word, a line from a chorus, the whole chorus or even the title song... or whole song.

Here's my example layout using the words "Hold On" which is also my page title.

Our son having a blast tubing! 

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok, Me & My Big Ideas

Foam Clouds & Border

Pop Dots

Sticker Letters

Swirly Bling

Star

Stickers

Toothpick Banner

Distressing

Perfect Pearls Mist

Sketch: Page Maps

The circle was distressed and adhered with pop dots.

Swirly bling was added just under the foam border strip.  It's hard to see... so look closely.  :)

A different angle.

In the lower corner I added a mulberry paper star with a couple stickers over it.

The foam clouds were misted with a pearl mist... but it's hard to see it.

You can just get a glimpse of the mist on the clouds.  The banner was created using a toothpick and adhering a triangle onto it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope to see some of your creations in the Colorful Creations Gallery!  :)
