SPCC #40/Sketchy Thursdays

Can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. But I went to a crop over the weekend to get myself back into the swing. Samantha at SPCC had a cool color combo for Challenge #40 and I thought of Hawaii right away. I've never been but my daughter went last year with her high school swim team. I also went to Sketchy Thursdays to get some layout motivation. The paper was part of stash that I had along with the frame. I painted the wavy chip board brown then sprayed orange Tattered Angels on it. Flowers and buttons from Making Memories. Hawaii is from Life's a Beach cart. Thanks ladies for the inspiration.

Winter Layout

SPColorCombos blog had a challenge (Color Combo #21) using burgundy, Ruby red and caramel. I had to wrap my mind around two reds being dominant in a layout but I finally got it. I think they turned out cute. I made a two page layout but either could stand alone. The cuts were from the Winter Woodland cartridge. The mittens were pop-dotted on page 1 and the snowflakes on page 2. The BRRR sentiment could easily be turned into another photo mat. I love that snowman. He and the snowflakes were cut from glitter paper.
