Believe


I'm a 'pink' person so I've created this layout for me with a note that would motivates me.


supplies:
cardstock, blush ribbon, alphas : American Crafts ; patterned papers : Doodlebug Design, Autumn leaves, Websters Pages ; mists : Tattered Angels ; sculpture flowers, pearls : Prima ; yellow ribbon : Pebbles ; stamp : Unity, GlitzItNow ; kraft envelope : Maya Road ; chalk ink : Tsukineko ; pigment ink : Ranger Industries ; punches : Martha Stewart ; foam squares : Scrapbook adhesives ; glue lines, dots : Glue Dots ; vellum


sentiment:
trust in your potential, enjoy the process, try something new, explore possibilities, but most of all--Believe.

an envelope to put my "note-to-self"....
by the way, since i don't want to resize my pic, the envelope flap is intended to cover the lower left part of my photo (because of the visible construction site).. the pearls as well in the lower right, so as to hide whatever it is on the sofa.. c",)

Together, Everyday

The color combinations required for the challenge get me inspired to create this layout. It really took me some time to think about how to combine the rich color of orange with teal. This is just a simple layout but it took me almost 4hours to complete because I can't seem to find the 'right' embellishments which covers all the 4 colors needed.
But I'm so happy to say that through this challenge, I learned that sometimes you just have to trust your instinct. c",)

I missed them soooo much.. so what better way to see them always by having this layout to display here at home..


Supplies:
cardstock, letters, tape glue: American Crafts ; patterned paper: Chatterbox ; punches: Martha Stewart ; trims: Webster's pages ; ink: Ranger Industries, Tsukineko ; pearls, flowers : Prima ; pen: Kuretake ; glue, tape glue, foam squares: Beacon's, Scrapbook adhesives, Glossy Accents

journal reads as:
Dad, Mom, what a wonderful sight to see you grow old in love -- Together, Everyday
