Featured Collection: Fine and Dandy – True Blue
Featured Collection: Lost & Found
I used Lost & Found Market Street to create this card. I love the vintage, and shabby feel to this collection. I stayed pretty close to Anam's lovely sketch. I did make the right border, a little bigger on my design. I inked, and distressed the edges. One of the elements I loved from MME, are the preprinted titles, and sentiments. This makes the designing process so easy. I pulled in some cream crepe paper to create the "ribbon candy' border underneath my sentiment. Finished the card with a butterfly, and a little bling!!!!

Featured Collection: Fine and Dandy – True Blue
Featured Collection: Fine and Dandy – Tickled Pink
I really love Anam's Sketch for this month. I loved the white space, and clean lines. I kept pretty true to her sketch to create this page of my daughter, Gabriela. This was her first time to see, or play in the snow! I thought the colors from Fine & Dandy's Tickled Pink, would really make this snapshot pop. I wanted to capture how happy she was packing snow in her hands! Of course, I believe she was making them, to throw them at her brother! I added the swirls from the Die cut Accessory Sheet, and dusted them with a little glitter.I thought this was add some playfulness to my page!
I anchored my title on top of a chipboard frame. I layered the frame with patterned paper, and part of my stamped title. I finished my embellishing in the left corner with three "snowflakes" embellishments!
Featured Collection: Fine and Dandy – True Blue
I used Anam's Layout as a starting point but once I got started, I went off and did my own thing. There are so many layers (not to mention a plethora of Fine and Dandy- True Blue product) to this project and then to top it off, I even used a book page to create a
flap. Because this is a layout of my nephew, I thought I would give this to my sister and so I left space for her to add another photo and her own journaling on the inside:) That is of course assuming I can give it away! Right now I love it so much that I think I may have to keep it for myself (but ssssssssssshhhhhh... don't tell my sister! LOL!)
As always, EVERYONE is a winner! We love seeing what you create for our challenge and want to thank everyone who will participate. Every entry will go in a photo album here on the blog. By submitting, you are giving My Mind’s Eye permission to include your entry.
We can’t wait to see what you design!
