Happy Monday! I just spent the past few days up at Lake Tahoe, and wow, was it ever beautiful!!! I want to thank Elizabeth from 217 Creations for doing such an amazing job as our Guest Designer on Friday - wasn't that mini album the most gorgeous thing you've ever seen? Absolutely stunning! Be sure to check it out if you haven't already! Thanks, Elizabeth!!
This week's blog candy is the "Good Day Sunshine" paper pack by My Mind's Eye, and I'm also going to toss in a few Bo Bunny cardstock colors to coordinate with it. This is the line of paper that I used to make the layout below. I loved working with these papers as the colors were so unique and soft. Now I want to go to the beach!! To enter for the blog candy, follow this blog and leave a comment on this post. You can also come back every day this week to post another comment for more chances. Read the end of today's post to see winners for last week.
This layout is not going to be a kit, but I will list the sizes for you if you'd like to scraplift. See below.
All cuts are from the new Pack Your Bags cart. The suitcase is 2 1/2", turtles are 2" and 2 1/2", lobster is 2 1/4", lifesaver ring is 2 1/2", drink is 4", crab is 2", sandcastle is 3", and "Our Trip" is 2".
Mat Sizes are as follows...
Yellow: (1) 5 x 7, (2) 5 x 5
Dark Red: (1) 4 1/2 x 6 1/2, (2) 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
Patterned: (1) 4 1/4 x 6 1/4, (2) 4 1/4 x 4 1/4
All pieces were inked with either blue or dark brown chalk ink. I also used pop-dots and white gel pen. There's also faux stitching around photo mats, using a brown marker. Green ribbon is from Stampin' Up.
The background was pieced together with pages from the My Mind's Eye Good Day Sunshine paper pack. The journal box is also from the paper pack.
Check back tomorrow for a super cute project by Nana Susan!
Oh, you didn't think I'd forget about the blog candy winners for last week, did you? Here they are. Please email me at moniquegriffith@yahoo.com with your shipping address within 2 weeks so I can get your prize out to you. Congrats!
