LPS December Color Challenge

Hi there friends,

Today I am sharing a layout that I made for the sketch challenge over at Life Paper Scrapbook

When I saw the colors in this month's color challenge I was so excited.  The color combo had me all giddy and I just couldn't wait to get started.  

I decided that the colors in the Close Knit collection from Crate Paper were the perfect match for this challenge.  Here is what I made using the colors from the above photo.

Jingle Layout

I found this fun star pattern in the Silhouette store and thought it would be great for this layout.  I enlarged it and backed it with a large hand cut circle.  Next I added some stitching, vellum and this cute photo of my kids and their cousins on Christmas.

This all came together quickly and I just love the way it came out.

About the Class
Becky's motto, "Cultivate a good life and record it," is at the heart of everything she does with her blog, her Project Life products, and her everyday life.
In this 12-week interactive workshop, she'll share the 12 foundational principles she follows in her real life as a mother, memory keeper, blogger, homemaker, author, instructor, and successful business owner. Becky's main goal is to inspire you to see the everyday beauty in your world and celebrate ordinary moments, but she'll also show you how to preserve the real-life pictures you take using her signature Project Life system.
After the overwhelming response to this workshop during its first run in 2012, Becky is thrilled to invite a new crop of memory keepers to plan, create, and remember…together. There are special offers below for the first 500 to sign up, and an exclusive set of Project Life Themed Cards ("Life Lists" theme) available for purchase in February ONLY to Project Real Life students.

Life Paper Scrapbook November Color Challenge

It's time for a new Color Challenge over at Life.Paper.Scrapbook.  I was so excited when I saw the colors that we were going to be working with this month.  Here is the inspiration photo:

and here is the layout that I made for the challenge:

We Just Click As Friends

I always have plenty of American Crafts products on hand when I am scrapping so I was so excited when I noticed that this month's colors match Amy Tangerine's Cut & Paste collection beautifully.  I added in some stitching using her fun stitching templates and a great big pie chart to create a layout that is as fun as our friendship.

This month's color sponsor is:

Mr. Matt Layout

I thought that the soft colors in the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party collection would work perfectly for this challenge.  I added some fun Studio Calico wood pieces and sequins to the mix.

Life Paper Scrapbook August Color Challenge

Hi Everyone!

Today we have the August Colour Challenge for you over at
Life Paper Scrapbook and some of the super talented ladies from the team are sharing their take on the challenge.

This was such a fun challenge to play along with.  I not only took inspiration from the colors but also by the stripes on the arm warmers.

Loved Layout

I punched out all these squares with a punch and then lined them up on my page. There was 64 squares total and the process probably would have been a lot faster if I hadn't gone through the painstaking detail to make sure all of the patterns on the squares lined up.

I folded each square in half and popped some of them up with foam squares.

supplies:
pattern papers: Bella Blvd
cardstock: black, white (American Crafts)
glitter cardstock: gold, silver (American Crafts)
feathers: Bella Blvd
crochet heart: Scallop (Bella Blvd)
cork stickers, die cuts (Studio Calico)
other: sequins


This month's color sponsor is American Crafts 

hop on over to the Life Paper Scrapbook blog and play along with this month's color challenge and you will be entered to win an Amy Tangerine prize pack.
