Stampin' Royalty Challenge #108

Make sure to come and check out the fabulous inspiration challenge this week over at the Stampin' Royalty blog!  It is gorgeous!  I had these amazing pictures that my students in my class took... we were working on creating focal points using colour.  I thought that this would be a great way to showcase some of there amazing work!  This was the "You're My Sunshine" digital download... can't remember when I purchased it, but the colours were perfect for this layout!

Over-use!

It would be accurate to say that this is the first stamp set that I may have possibly over-used!  I couldn't resist trying out my new Framelits to make this heart shaped card... it was so much fun and I am ECSTATIC with the results.  This would be one that would be sure to make a splash with your valentine!  I know that I went a little overboard with the rhinestones, but I go through them at such an alarming rate that I seem to often end up with the strings that are attached together left over after using the other rhinestones.

Guess Where the Inspiration for This One Came From?

Well, if you saw my Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge post on Tuesday, this may look awfully familiar to you!  I decided to use roughly the same layout but turn it into a Christmas page for my scrapbook club girls this month!  They've requested some more Christmas pages:)  We tend to do one page with one or two focal images and then a second page where you can put a few more shots:)  I can't wait to share the rosette die with them...I even used it with my White Waffle Paper!

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #106~Recipe Challenge... Fabrics!

This was a fun challenge... I got to play with my fabrics which I really don't seem to use enough of!  I've got this gorgeous Spice Cake Designer Fabric that had yet to be touched! I love gluing the fabric down on cardstock and then running it through my Big Shot.  In this case I used my Fancy Favour Box!  The fabric works best when glued down with a glue stick to the cardstock.  After I die cut it, it folds easily as the scoring shows perfectly on the cardstock side.  I adhered the box together using my Crystal Effects for added support... as I do with the majority of my 3-D projects.

Make sure to head on over to Stampin' Royalty to check out the other samples by the design team members and to share your creations with us!
