Day 7 - something new

I've been searching for a pair or turquoise posts since I saw Bridesmaids a couple months ago. Finally, success!

Day 6 - childhood memory


I was always scared to death if this place, but I still went on the ride. I don't know why, since I kept my eyes closed most of the time!

Gray, gray, go away.

I'm so tired of the snow and ice!  I treated myself to these cute red boots and they just kind of made me feel happier.  (It's the little things). 
I wanted to contrast the gray (yucky weather) with the red (cute boots), so I tried to stick with those two colors.  I used a leftover valentine doily (cut apart into a frame and two inner circles) and some pink paislee letters that seemed made for this layout.  I wanted to do something subtle with black tulle, so I die cut it with my sizzix, spray glued it to the page, and hand stitched with rainbow thread around part of the edges.  I also added some ribbon trim from pink paislee to add some more gray and some texture. 

I also used some patterned paper from October Afternoon and background paper from Echo Park.  To finish off, I added some miscellaneous brads and a large acrylic snowflake.  Kaiser Craft pearls, and letter stamps from Stamps of Life.

This week in the Cafe at MLPA

4 cards, using stamps from Lawn Fawn, and Stamps of Life (cloud), paper from Basic Grey's Blackbird line, and my favorite Christmas Present this year - Copic markers.  So much fun to make, and easy, too.
