Cherry Blossom Challenge

The SVG Cuts forum is having a challenge to create any project with their Cherry Blossom collection. Here's what I came up with:

The background paper and the branch is Marth Stewart.  The flower print scallop border and pink rub-on borders are by BasicGrey.  The butterfly is from Dollar Tree.  I finally got to use the loose felt powder I've had forever.  I ran the flowers through my Xyron and rubbed on the felt powder.  The bling is by Darice. 

The challenge ends May 1st, there's still time to enter.

Toadilly Frogs! - Guest Designer

Karel starting a toadilly frog month...the theme of her challenge this month.  All you need to do is create a project that has something to do with frogs or toads.  Karel has more info here.
The pattern paper is K & Company all other from scraps.  The frog/toad is from Create-a-Critter cart.  The title is one I shared early last year and can be found here.  I used googled eyes I found at Dollar Tree.

This layout is not complete, as I don't have any journaling on my page.  I looked high and low for a circle journal tag and couldn't find one.  Do you know what that means?  I trip to the craft store!

The picture is my god-daughter Dulce, {she has some face paint on her cheek, not a bruise} the star of my blog....hmmm thinking I should rename my blog from JustYolie to JustDulce!

A little posh

A simple layout of my niece Irene in Paris.  She studied abroad and traveled throughout Europe in 2009.  I'm trying to get her to scrapbook, but I think maybe her mom will like it enough to start her European book.  I don't know the date the picture was taken so I will leave it to her to add some journaling. :)

I didn't need to add much to the layout;  the paper by Paper Pizzaz has beautiful flocking.  The black velvet flowers are by Heidi Swapp, I've had forever.  The glitter pink and purple paper is by Core'dinations.  The brads are by Teresa Collins and were part of my prize package I won at Linda's blog, The Paper Boutique.  Please visit her if you can, she shares great tips.

Lift, Floss, Scrap Challenge

I'm super excited to share my first challenge as a DT Diva at CSDivas!  If you want to particpate, please stop by CSDivas.  I will have a RAK for a randomly choosen layout.

My challenge to you is to scraplift, use floss or twine on your page and use some up of your scraps. You can use the layout by Laura Vegas, or any other sketch. But you must share the page you scraplift along with your page. Don't forget to use up your scraps.

Here's what I did: I scrapLIFTed a page created by Laura Vegas, from CK issue Sept. 2010 page 51. I thought this would be a great layout to use some scraps. I also used FLOSS around SCRAPs of paper.

This is my page: Background paper is DCWV all other from scraps. The floss is by Darice; brads from my stash. The scallop borders were SVG files cut with SCAL on my Cricut. This is Dulce holding up a picture of her big brother AC.  Dulce dances folklorico and was fortunate to be invited to dance at the Mezcla fall show at Brown University.  AC was unable to make the trip, so I printed a 8x10 pic of him, glued it on cardstock and we got to pose with him at Plymouth, Fenway and of course Brown.  LOL

Easter Card

The background paper is from one of the first paper packs I purchased from Creative Memories.   I'm happy to say that all other paper is from scraps.  The bunny is from Paper Crafting World.  I used my Cricut with Sure Cuts A Lot to cut this cutie; she's meant to hold a heart shape flowers but I flipped one of her arms so that she can cuddle a baby chick.  The banner is from a the Banners4All stamp set by The Stamps of Life.  The grass was cut using Zooballoo and the pinwheels, ladybugs, sun and the chick are all stickers by Creative Memories...super surprised they still sticked!

I'm also submitting this card to CPS Challenge #212
