Fun Challenges at Memorable Seasons

The members of Memorable Seasons have taken over for the month of August and they have challenged both the DT and members!  The list of challenges is impressive and so much fun to play with.

I've already shown 2 of the layouts I've done, but here are two more of the challenges I participated in...

Tami's "2" challenge - 2 manufactures and a 2 word title


My discovery over the past month of creating is this, I love to use the Project Life cards to create with!  Since I know that I can use the fun little cards on layouts, I figured I am going to give in to the PL craze and I bought the Midnight set from Becky Higgins.  I am hoping to document our little Rocky's first year of life and all the adventures we are having here in FL, guess we will see how that goes.  No matter what, I will use the fun little cards!

Next I played along in Chris's challenge to use circles!


You'll notice another one of those cute little cards, told you I could use them!  :)

It has been quite hot here in FL lately, definitely on the steamy side so I am trying to think cool thoughts and I am finally able to appreciate the cold/snowy winter we had in VA.

More Creativity!

Told you I was creative right now!  LOL

Here I am again with another layout I created using a sketch from MME and the new Cut and Paste collection that I just had to have!  

Here's the sketch which I followed very loosely b/c my layout kinda took off without me...




I guess it looks kind of funny to have a snow layout, in the summer, and from someone that lives in FL, but...  I just found this one of my son and loved the look of the picture.  I felt the picture and saying just were perfect together and really didn't need much else to show the delight of a child in snow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mouse Boats

I have a TON of creativity flowing right now; I might be sleep deprived from our new little one, but I can still create!  I saw this challenge at Crate Paper to use navy blue and sequins and so I decided to jump in.  Okay so maybe the Pier isn't quite navy blue, but it is as blue as I had and I found some clear shell sequins, white sequins, and clear gems to give the look of water splashes.  


As FL residents we have Disney tickets that are blacked out most of the summer, do you think this stopped us from heading off to our favorite place?  Nope!  We just road the monorail, wandered through the different resorts, and rode Mouse Boats as we've called these little boats for years.  It is amazing how much fun you can have when you really put your mind to it!

It's hard to believe one year ago I got an e-mail from Bella Blvd asking me to join their team.  A lot has occurred over the year, but one thing remains, I am forever grateful to Stephanie and Laura for the chance to be on such an amazing team!  So if you have a dream of one day designing for a manufacture then make sure you jump on over to the Bella blog and get the details today it is TOTALLY worth it!

I thought I would share this layout also since it is a Pebbles layout, it was in the July/August Creating Keepsakes magazine
