Color Dare 94 with Sonata

Our colors this week at Color My Heart are Buttercup and Hollyhock. I had the perfect paper pack, except that it had spots of Lilac Mist in it. No problem, I just grabbed some yellow and pink brads and flowers and covered up the blue! Here is my layout:

Aren't my kids cute? It was so hard to get them to sit still for these pictures, but it was worth it!

Come join us this week!

Color Dare 92 with Cherry-O

Here's what's been going on in my life. I'm getting used to having a fourth child at home. She is one month old now. I've been spending a lot of time nursing her. The rest of my time is spent feeding my children and taking them to and from school. I've been trying to keep up with scrapbooking, so I just got a lot of pictures developed. I haven't had time for much else, like paying bills (oops), the book I'm supposed to read for my book club tomorrow (!), and preparing for my gathering (also tomorrow!). It looks like I'll have a busy day... I also wanted to go to Green Bay to pick up my portraits, but that might have to wait till Sunday.

Anyway, here is the layout I made for this week's color dare: Crystal Blue and Sweet Leaf. I found these pictures and made a layout to go with them using the backside of the Cherry-O B&T.

Come play along with us this week at Color My Heart.

Color Dare 90, 88, & 84

I had a couple setbacks getting some of the recent layouts made for the Color Dare, but I took some time on Friday and got some finished.

First, for Color Dare 90, a Pemberley layout using the Stickease:

Materials used:
Cardstock: Colonial White, Parchment
B&Ts: Pemberley
Stickease: Pemberley
Other: Bouquet Assortment


Next, here is the layout I made just after getting home from the hospital. I left it sitting for a week because I thought it was missing something, but I never did figure out what. Any suggestions?

 

Materials used:
Cardstock: Colonial White
B&Ts: Dotty For You
Stamps: Card Chatter - Love, Buzz & Bumble WOTG
Ink: Black, Smoothie, Lagoon
Other: Smoothie Keepsake Felt Alphabet, Blending Pen


Finally, here is the layout I had been meaning to make for Color Dare 84. I used scraps from Believe. I never got the whole paper pack, just the bulk pack. But these are from the sampler B&Ts. This one will look better once I get the pictures on it.

 

Materials used:
Cardstock: Topiary, White Daisy
B&Ts: Believe
Other: Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

Color Dare 89 with Perfect Day

It's been a while since I posted. I am getting used to having a newborn at home. Getting the hang of having 4 children is a challenge, but a super enjoyable one! Hopefully soon I can get back into regular crafting. I just got a bunch of pictures developed, so I can start on my baby's scrapbook soon!

My top priority though is getting the birth announcements made and sent out. Here is my prototype. What do you think?

Materials used:
Cardstock: Colonial White, Crème Brulee
B&Ts: Perfect Day
Stamps: New Arrival
Ink: Crème Brulee, Juniper, Chocolate
Other: Chocolate Brads, Cricut Art Philosophy
