Feeling Sentimental

Merry Christmas!!! I'm taking a break from all the Christmas magic to share my layout for the "Feeling Sentimental" challenge. Actually, there was a bit of magic involved in creating this layout. I hummed and hawed and stared at it for about a hundred years, and then, "poof!" It finally came together. 

I had a very clear vision in mind when I began. It involved a "winterish twig thing". My ideas are usually born from a weird thought such as this. I don't question it. LOL! 

I used an old scrap of paper by Pebbles to create the twig branches. The background was created with liquid watercolors by Pinkfresh, and some of the paper behind the photo is by Pinkfresh, as well.

Rolling With the Punches

Hi everybody! I'm here to share my layout for the "Rolling With the Punches" challenge. I was excited about this one as soon as I read the description. I don't use punches very often, so I was glad that this challenge left a bit of room for interpretation. I decided to use one of my favorite techniques: rolling patterned paper. Here's my layout:

I love clouds. Clouds are my jam. I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while, specifically, "honkin' big clouds with random stuff hanging from them". My ideas are usually quite specific and make perfect sense. Ahem.

I decided to do paper strips with rolled ends hanging from my clouds. This was a perfect project for using up scraps, which I'm trying to a lot of lately so that I can make room for new goodies from the store.
