The Play Date Cafe Challenge #144~

Hi everyone~this is the new color palette for this weeks challenge at The Play Date Cafe.  I love orange, yellow and pink together.  The colors remind me of FUN, not to loud but loud enough to have some fun:):)  Here is my take on challenge #144~

I really had to dig deep, into my stash, to find the colors I needed to work up this color palette.  Remember Chatter Box~ yes, I still had some:):)  We would love to have you play along either with a card or layout, the main thing is to use the color palette for the challenge week. You can post your entry on the PDCC blog.

Build~A~Bear layout with Authentique!

I have a layout to share using the fabulous Authentique.  It is fast becoming a favorite paper company of mine.  The paper just feels so heavy and durable!!!  I did some fussy cutting to make the cluster around the photo.  I used the 12" circle template by Creative Memories to get the die cut paper effect!!!  The birds and leaves are a stamp set by Skipping Stones Design! 

Close-up of the fussy cutting and that cute little girl with her build-a-bear!!!!  BTW she is going to be eight soon! Where does the time go?  Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!!!!

See ya soon!!

Mail call! ~ Pink Paislee

Hi everyone~I have been in a panic for three days.  My desk top has been without Internet.  All my programs and files are on it but tonight my sis-in-law came over and what I was to scared to do she did and she got me going again ~ I definitely owe her a lunch!

This is the last of the Pink Paislee/Hometown Summer.  I usually don't scrapbook like this but I enjoyed it very much.

I loved all the borders that came with this set.  I have some junkin' stuff from a few weeks ago I thought I would share also~

This tin was packed full of buttons and stuff~the vendor had $7 and I offered $5:):)he accepted my offer:):)

This is an old brass cattle tag.  I'm going to clean it up and put a shine on it.  Be lookin' for it ~ it will show up some where:):

Hi~I have another Pink Paislee/ Hometown Summer layout to share with you. One of my favorite color combinations is black and yellow with a splash of orange.  It is just fabulous every time.

To get lines, for my journaling, I used a stamp by Wendy Vecchi ~ just love it!  It is that stamp that is great to have in your collection, comes in handy so many times.  It even looks great to use, as embellishing the cardstock. Super fun and speaking of fun, hope you come back on Friday I have a fun {awesome} giveaway going on for followers of Crafty Goodies!!!
