Creative Embellishments June Challenge

So I had a very crafty day yesterday, I just kept going and going. I couldn't sleep so after my friends left, I went back to my craftroom and finished this page that I had started and put asside earlier in the day.   I got inspired buy the Creative Embellishments challenge image. What inspired me were the butterfly wings and the flowers in the image. I added a touch of green to my pink background as well.  

 

Here are a few more images.

 

For embossing I used my new Lindy's embossing powder in light green, AMAZING ! (Mary-go-Round ) The Awesome die-cut was a gift from my friend Kawine.

 

 

The picture is from my visit to the Keukenhof in Amsterdam. The Orchids were so beautiful. A touch of flowers and a beautiful badge from Accent Scrapbooking & the beautiful die-cut was a gift from my friend KJKareen.  

  Time for a small frame to add the date and more flowers and a badge from Cuts2Luv:  

  One of the things I love most about crafting is not only the results, it's the process... It's my mental break !   Thanks for the inspiration to the Creative Embellishments team with this picture:

LOVE- Creative Embelishments February Challenge

The Creative embelishmnets team have a great February challenge.   I was inspired by the softness of the image, and the time aspect as well. The twist was having white space. So I had this picture of my dad when he was in the hospital 3 years ago. I wanted it to be soft and also it takes me back in time, so I felt it was just perfect for this challenge. I used the heart shaped frame & the word LOVE from CE and for the time, gears element a die cut from Kaiser Crafts.  

 

Here is a closer look at the title that was embosed with ZINK glitter (OMG a wonderful discovery from my friend Caroline's stash... Now I need this)

 

 

The story behind this picture is that my dad was dying and the nurses at the hopital let us bring him my dog Maya for a visit. My Dad just loved my dog and she loved my Dad. The trick was we needed to hide her to pass the security gards at the entrance. So my husband and the boys hid her in a Gym bag and she collaborated perfectly. Not a sound or peep her whole time at the Hospital. We were in a Private room, so it was fine. The nurses came to see her and just loved to see the smile on my Dad's face. This is probably one of my favorite memories of his last days. I truly miss him...Can't believe that it's been 3 years since he's been gone.

 

 

  Here is the challenge:

The challenge is as it typically is….be inspired by at least 1 element in the picture below and please let us know what you were inspired by in your post. The twist is white space. That is always a hard  thing for me and my cluttered mind. Do not forget to read the revised guidelines below the inspo picture.

Twist: White space

 

Thanks for the challenge ladies... I am very please with how my page turned out.

Have a great day !

Trick or Treat

Ok so I am mentally preparing for my oldest son to turn 18 at the end of the month and let's just says I can't believe how fast time has passed. So of course, I am going through some old photo albums, trying to believe they were once my babies. Found this perfect 1st Halloween picture that I just had to add to my lot of scrapbook pages.   SO I actually had tons of old craft paper and halloween stuff lying around in my stash. I can't even remember when I purchased most of this stuff, but at some point it's got to get used so I dove in.  

    The paper collection is from My Mind's eye and dates back to 2009 (don't say it, I know I am a scrapbooking hoarder). Some embelishements are from Little Yellow Bicycle, flowers from Prima. Probable the only thing you can get in 2015 is the Cuts2Luv button & the Creative embellishment die-cut.   Here is a closer look at the Cuts2Luv button (it's so cute) and the Creative Embelishment die-cut #CUTE:  

 

I am including this page in this month's Creative Embelishment's challenge. Now they are saking, what was the inspiration form their challenge, my response is simple: The colors & the pumpkin in the image.

 

I am aslo including this page for the Scrapauxpuces October moodboard Challenge, here it is:

 

 

To add a touch of shimmer, I added some touches of the Prima Finnabair Texture Paste, Loved how it came out. I added it over my Creative Embellishment #cute and also directly on my paper. First time using and and I can't wait to use it again. Just sold to the Finnabair line.

  Ok, now off to new projects, wishing you a great day!
