Thanks a Million

Good Morning!

Today I have a card I made using the Teresa Collins Everday Moments Collection. I love these colours!

The flower was an old white one I found and I used a water brush and Distress Ink to colour it blue. This gave it a kind of water coloured effect, I actually prefer the solid look when I use the distress stains (they are great for inking flowers!) but unfortunately the Chipped Sapphire Distress Stain has not made it into my collection yet.....soon!

SUPPLIES

Teresa Collins - Everday Moments Collection

American Crafts - Ribbon

Ranger - Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink

Sakura - Water Brush

Spellbinders - Labels 16

Prima - (The white flower I used has been discontinued, these new ones are very similar) - Flower

Have a great day!

Playing in Paradise #58: Hug a Tree!

Hi scrappy Paradise-aholics! Are you getting excited about spring yet? I confess I'm actually wishing for a little more snow; here in Dawson Creek we've had very little and it's put a serious crimp in my children's cross country ski lessons!

Well, I was wishing for more snow...until one of my friends gave me this beachy photo of our daughters enjoying the sunshine last summer! It was fun to scrapbook the memory and dream a little about making memories this summer!

My challenge for you, based on this layout, is to do a little "tree-hugging" and use wood as an element in your creation.

Whether using actual wood, like the frame behind the photo in my layout (die cut using a Spellbinders Labels die), or faux wood like the letter stickers from Cosmo Cricket (and the cork letters are wood as well!), or even a wood grain stamp, let your nature-loving side show and link up to share with us. (And here's a link to some wood-themed products in the store!) Your prize this week is a fantastic Studio Calico pack - the Classic Calico Journaling Book, Wood Veneers and 3 sticker sheets!

Let's see what the rest of the team (and our wonderful guest designer) have cooked up for this challenge:

Guest Designer Hazel Harris - how cool is that puzzle?

And now our winner from last week: Congratulations to JengD! She's the winner of last week's challenge - check out her great card here. JengD, please contact Pam at pamfaeiryrocks@telus.net and she'll get your your prize and tell you how you can be our next guest designer!

Now it's up to you to knock our socks off and create something au naturel! Here's the nitty gritty:
CHALLENGE GUIDELINES:
1. Everyone is invited to play! There are no requirements or restrictions on what products you can use to create your challenge entry.
2. You have until noon on Thursday, March 22, 2012 to link your entries for this challenge below.
3. Please link directly to your entry photo or your specific blog post featuring your project, not a general link. We reserve the right to remove invalid links. If you're uploading to a public forum, then use the keyword PPC#58 so we can find you!
4. Please fill in your name (not the name of your card or the name of the challenge) as the caption/label within the linky tool.
