Perfect Day Together (SIWAS DT Reveal)

I can't wait to share with you this layout that i've created last weekend!  It is one of my favorites by far this year.  I love the color combination and the special picture of me and Yves. :)

But first of all, let's start with the inspiration!

Scrap It with a Song this week is all about love and family.  Make sure to go visit and get creative with any of this month's playlist - you could win a cool prize!  Madonna's Keep It Together is this week's song, and i decided to base the overall theme of my layout on the word 'Together'.  As the hidden journaling on this layout states, Yves and I have been together for 6 years now, and i have to say that every day that i spend with him is just perfect.  We have such a deep connection and every moment spent together, whether we are veggin' out on the couch watching a movie or taking a stroll in the beautiful Autumn leaves, is pure magic.  His presence in my life is a true blessing.

My layout was also inspired by the exquisite color palette from this month's Prima Product Pick challenge.  I loved the warm rich hues, perfect for November, and i think i succeeded in transferring that warmth on my layout.

And last but certainly not least, i used this fabulous sketch by Nadia Cannizzo from Once Upon A ...Sketch as inspiration:

Now, here is what all that inspiration helped me create:

I have to say that my camera and the poor lighting in my craftroom do not do the colors of this layout justice.  For example, the Prima paper i used as the background is from the Alla Prima collection and is of a much warmer shade of yellow than what you can see on my photo.

As always, the OUAS challenge requires us to use journaling on our layout.  See the 'Remember This' tag on the right of the picture?  My journaling is hiding on that tag.

 You can see from some of the close-up shots that i added clear crackle paint on my background.

Don't you just LOVE that robin's nest?!  Sooo adorable!

Flowers, flowers and more flowers! What Prima does best!

 

I really hope that you have enjoyed looking at this layout and that it has inspired you to create!

Authentique Card Sketch Challenge

As promised, i'm sharing with you today yet another card i created over the past weekend.  This card is inspired by the Authentique Paper Card Sketch Challenge for November.

 This card was created using papers and stickers from the Genuine collection. I just love the combination of different shades of blue and mustard yellow!

And as the card says, it's a good day to have a good day!

So good day to you all!  :)

Artful Delight Card Sketch Challenge

The card i am sharing today was inspired by this sketch from the Artful Delight blog:

 I decided to keep this card pretty simple, but at the same time elegant.  I chose neutral colored cardstock and added some embossed design with my Cuttlebug. I then added a splash of color with a bright blue flower and some brown bling.

I'm hoping this card will cheer up someone who has been feeling under the weather lately!

Thanks for dropping by and come back tomorrow... i will be sharing another card!

PageMaps' Freckled Fawn Card Sketch Contest

Click HERE for my Creative Scrappers DT Reveal (Sketch#235) also posted today!

I have been fairly creative this weekend, finishing one very special Prima-based layout as part of my SIWAS DT reveal and OUAS challenge which i will be sharing with you on Thursday, as well as a few cards, including this one:

I created this card PageMaps' Freckled Fawn Card Sketch Contest and used this adorable PageMaps sketch as inspiration:

Up for grabs in this contest is a $30 gift certificate to the Freckled Fawn web site which offers many cool products including tags of various styles and colors, intricate paper doilies (i SO need some of those!) and the ever so popular Washi Tape that i have been admiring from afar for quite some time now.  Yes, i must confess!  I have yet to own even one roll of Washi Tape, but hopefully that'll change soon if Lady Luck smiles my way! :)  Visit Freckled Fawn and see for yourself!

Come back tomorrow as I'll share another one of my weekend creations!  :)
