Will I Still Grow?

Have you seen Bo Bunny's Flower Child line? It is amazing. I just love the yellow, red, and teal color combo! It is quite refreshing and not like anything else I have ever used. And like their Mamarazzi line, it has the most amazing chipboard shapes to coordinate with the papers.

I created this layout last week. The papers and chipboard are all from the Flower Child Line. In addition, I misted the outer edge with Orange Maya mist -- that background paper is really all yellow with the outer teal edge.



As for the journaling...."I am a coffee drinker...sometimes regular and sometimes decaf. But either way, always sweet enough to taste like candy. I convinced you kids that if you drink it, you won't grow. So now everytime you take a sip you ask...Will I Still Grow?"

Go check out Bo Bunny's Blog to see more amazing layouts using the Flower Girl line.

Hello Sunshine

Another rainy (and cold if you have to sit at the soccer field for an hour) day in south Jersey! Yesterday was gorgeous. Just warm enough to not need a jacket but cool enough for jeans. I love hanging around in jeans and a t-shirt! I am not a person who dresses-up all too often.

Anyway, as my fingers and toes thaw, I thought I would share a fun Lily Bee and Bo Bunny layout. Here is wishing for summer....

Precious

I am still not completely happy with yesterday's "Attitude" layout. Jing-Jing suggested mist. I tried buttons today and didn't care for that. Hmmm, do you ever just think something is missing on your layout? It bothers me to no end. I don't expect perfection when I work on a layout but I do hope to love the end result. Of course that is unrealistic, I know. But, those that I don't love, I don't post for you to see. In my mind, the "Attitude" layout has potential I just can't figure out that "final touch" to get it where I want/expect it to be.

This layout however, I just adore. Maybe it is the picture or maybe those amazing papers (Pink Paislee and Basic Grey). Or maybe that gorgeous artisan frame that I distressed with some Glimmer Mist.

Fits the Bill

I couldn't stand it. I had to put together a layout for The Color Room challenge. I liked my other layout and I did post it to the site but it didn't seem right to have so much pink. The rules did say to only add white or neutrals to the palette. So, to make sure I had a layout that abided by the rules, I threw this one together. As I look at it now, I think it needs either some buttons or a dark brown framing line around the whole layout...not sure...maybe I will tweak it tomorrow. But for now, it fits the bill....


I am off to bed - goodnight!
