Zoolander - For Reals

So, I played along with the current challenge at Candy Shoppe Designs again. How could I not play along with a challenge such as 'The Bold and the Beautiful'?! You were to incorporate 3 completely different clashing papers and have a bold title. This was pretty easy for me as I love to use odd paper combinations in the first place :) The colors you were to work off of were Black, Pink, White, and Yellow-Orange. I threw in the other colors just for fun! Oh, and I used a sketch! The sketch I used was created by the fabulous Trisha of Sketch Inspiration. I just flipped it on it's side to work with my picture.

This is my sweet niece Heather'Lea. She is always posing for random pictures and I like to think of her as a little Zoolander - only much cuter!

52 Sketches...52 weeks - Sketch #47 Reveal

It's Sunday and that can only mean one thing! Ok, it can mean a lot of things, but for me it means the reveal of Julie Bonner's fabulous sketch from 52 Sketches...52 Weeks! I hope your as excited as I am. Julie creates some of the most amazing sketches and I am truly blessed to be a part of her DT.

I mean seriously...check out this sketch:

And here is my take on Sketch #47. I chose to base this LO around the song 'I Hope You Dance' by Lee Ann Womack because it holds such a special place in my heart. There is such a powerful meaning behind the words in this song and as soon as I saw these pictures of my daughters I just knew they were meant to be put together to create this LO. In life I hope for the best for my children, and I truly hope they choose to dance their way through it!

This week 52 Sketches...52 Weeks has an amazing prize up for grabs sponsored by Work in Progress Kits. All you have to do to be eligible for this prize is complete a LO based on Julie's sketch and upload it to the gallery by Midnight Nov 29th. Easy enough right?! I hope you join us over at 52 Sketches. I can't wait to see your take on this sketch!

Dotty Divas Blog Dive & DT Reveal!

Blog Dive is below :-)

This month's challenge at Dotty Divas has been a lot of fun for me. We had the privilege of having Magic Mesh sponsor the DT this month. Thank you Magic Mesh. I loved working with your product!

You really should, we always have some of the most amazing Sponsors that want to give you prizes for your beautiful creations!
Check out the Ad for the month:And here is my take on the Advert. I took inspiration from the colors mainly and the fabulous Magic mesh!! I wanted to use as much mesh as I could so I created this entire bg out of it, plus added it to my title, arrow, and put little accents of torn mesh here and there! I just love how this LO turned out! Of course how could I not....have you seen that little cutie in the picture?!

Twilight - Vampires go chic

Happy Thursday beautiful people! Do you love the Twilight movies? I love them. I love Edward, that man makes being a vampire extreamly dreamy. Vampires are a family obsession around our house....to the extint that my oldest daughter, Kayla, chose to be one for Halloween this year. That is why I can honestly say that I am totally in love with this challenge presented by Candy Shoppe Designs. It's called Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. You had to choose a team to be on and complete a LO based on that teams critera. Well, as you can probably already tell, I chose Team Edward!

Here is my LO based on the challenge:

Thank you Candy Shoppe Designs for such a wonderful challenge!
