Sweet Birthday Wishes, LSC205, CAS

Here's my entry for today's SCS Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC205). The theme was "clean and simple". I got this cute birthday set from Inkadinkadoo yesterday at Michael's. Seemed perfect for this challenge. I wanted to add ribbons and more "embellishment", but slapped my hands away from it to keep it "clean and simple" lol. I did put little beads on for decoration on the cupcake, and paper-pieced some vellum for the cupcake holder and added a couple more little heart flowers to it, since the ones on the vellum were spaced too far apart. Hope you like it. tfl

Time for the Bubbly, WT203

Here's my entry for today's SCS Ways to Use It Up Challenge (WT203). We were to do something relating to alcohol...like alcohol inks, or such or "theme-related". Since I didn't have any alcohol inks or whatever, I went with the theme. I used a lot of shimmering pearls on this layout and lots of bubble embossing on the bubbly paper. Look close...she is holding a glass of champagne...hehe. tfl

CC203

These are my entries for SCS Color Challenge CC203, garden green, baja breeze and pacific point. I started out with version 1 with the patterned paper on the bottom, and my dh stopped by to get his work phone and said he thought it would look better without the patterned paper on the bottom, so...since I wasn't really sure myself, I took it off and replaced it with a sentiment. Still not sure...what do you think? Sorry about version 2 being sideways...sometimes Blogger does this and I can't seem to change it. Jeesh!! tfl

Camelia Show LSC204

Here is my entry for SCS Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC204), using black card base to make out image pop. Perfect for my continuation of the note card box I made yesterday. This is a photo we took of a beautiful rose at the Leu Garden camelia show last weekend. There were tables full of the most gorgeous camelias, but this rose was outside in the rose garden!!! Went nuts with the camera!! lol tfl

Butterfly Garden, WT202

Here is my entry for SCS Ways to Use It Challenge (WT202). Altering pattern paper.

Sunday my dh and I went to a camelia show at Leu Gardens here in Orlando, FL. We got many beautiful pictures of magnolias and roses, and on our way out to the parking lot, we were looking at these beautiful orange flowers growing on the fence, and a butterfly came along and posed for us. This ended up being one of our favorite photos. I printed it and used it for my patterned paper. I then cuttlebugged it along with a piece of tangerine tango SU paper and used the combo to decorate a lime green card box that I had made a couple of weeks ago to present notecards in for gifts. I printed again and cut out the butterfly on a piece of black paper so he would stand out and made him dimensional.It was hard to photograph the embossing and still get a good shot of the photo, but you get the idea. tfl
