So with that being said, here is my entry:
This is going in the album I am making my sister for Christmas, This is her and her 4 beautiful babies. For this entry I used DCWV Black Currant stack, pink Mulberry Paper flowers by Prima, and Cricut Cuttin Up cartridge. Hope you enjoy!
I am so excited to enter. I am still new to scrapbooking, so I still have never worked with Glimmer Mist (but am dying for some), and that paper is so stinking cute. I want it all!
This is a picture of me wearing my scrapbooking glasses, (don't you think they make me look smarter?) I don't even wear glasses, these belong to my Ugly Betty Halloween costume, I just feel in the zone when I wear them while scrapping. Anyway, the paper is from DCWV flower spring pack. I cut out the word create using the Cricut Home Decor cartridge and used Antique Linen stickles to dazzle up the paper . I also used the Cuttlebug to cut out and emboss the butterflies and Broken China distress stickles to accent the yellow silk flowers. The tag is from the K&Company tag pad, and the button is from some Lane Bryant capri's I owned a few years back.
Here is my entry:
This is a layout I did incorporating both rain and tears. These are from our trip to Disneyworld. I was looking forward to it so much, and it rained everyday we were there. It didn't rain all day, but I was so sad. My hair was frizzy, and it was humid, but it was a blast. My favorite part is the people in the background. Everyone was wearing those plastic ponchos and rubber Crocs. I love the background people. In my layout, I put some bright colored flowers and bright paper because no matter what, it was a happy time. Can you see the raindrop embellishments I used? They kind of blend into the paper, but if you look hard enough, you can see them.
This is the collage you will draw your inspiration from this month. Take from it what you will (the colors, the patterns, the objects, etc.) and do what you do.Our sponsor this month is SNOBBY WALRUS. It's a fabulous new place that will surely put a smile on your face. If this guy....
