OWH midweek throwdown .. tropical colors

This week's midweek throwdown at the Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps blog was to use tropical colors on your cards .. such as orange, pink, purple, yellow.  For the month of May Scrapmaster's Paradise was also doing a color challenge for orange.   Bright colors are usually something I don't play with so I decided to make a couple cards for these challenges.

On both of these cards I used paper from the Echo Park country drive collection

the flower stamps and inks used are from Stampin' Up

the sentiment banners and words are SP & Company stamps

on the top card I added orange brads to the flowers, on the bottom card I added buttons

Thanks for looking :)

National Scrapbook Day 2012

Hello Friends

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend celebrating our scrapbooking holiday.  I was able to get a few layouts done this weekend .. 6 of them!   Most of them were for the La Crosse Loggers album that I'm doing.  The Loggers are a collegiate summer league baseball team we have season tickets for.  The players come from all over the country hoping someday they will make it to the big leauges .. and some of them have!  Such as Max Sherzer, Chris Sale and Jordan Pachecko.  Someday maybe one of these players will be there too!


The first layout I made was for a sketch challenge at Creative Scrappers:

another sketch layout I did was found on Scrapbook Challenges:  This was a fun one as you had to do a blog hop through the design team to get the pieces of the sketch

then I did a challenge to use words from a song as your title, this one uses the words from Take Me out to the Ballgame

a layout to use night photos .. both this layout and the above were challenges found at Have Your Way With Paper

and finally, a challenge at scrapfreak, to use a natural background with bright colors on the rest of the layout.  This is my little great-niece Isabella, I just found the photos last week or they may have been scrapped before now!

thanks for looking and Happy National Scrapbook Day!
