Challenge: 100% Me

As most scrapbookers have a tendency to do I find myself rarely making layouts about myself. In this instance, I decided to make a mini album (Kaiser Craft - ME tabbed) to do just that.

SNEAK: Pearly goodness

This element inspired me to create a wonderful bridal layout. It is my first attempt at working with Heidi Swapp's new Invisibles (coated) paper. It's like magic! They are perfectly complimented by Tim Holtz' distress inks.

Challenge: Got Sketch Butterfly

My dear friend Melina has always been there for me.... and this week she invited me to do an online challenge with her. It gave a nice kick in the pants I did not know I needed. The sketch was from Got Sketch. As far as the sentiment I could not come up with one that I liked.

WW: Time flies by

For this installment I decided to try coloring. I loved coloring as a kid and I am still a kid at heart.
Cardstock: Stampin Up kraft, certainly celery, white
Inks: Versamagic gingerbread, Colorbox olive pastel
Rubons: Kaiser craft flourish border, SU Bella Rose
Embellishments: Making Memories pebble brad, dollar sticker (Michaels), zig painty gold, signo white gel, sakura souffle
