Another vacation layout!

I finally scrapped a few more pics from our trip to California last summer! I combined a few challenges, the first challenge was a sketch at Design Dollies:

The second challenge was a Tic-Tac Toe Challenge at The Paper Variety.

I used the bottom row- make a layout, include a bird and use scallops and came up with this layout:

Paper Variety

I found the Paper Variety through a friend at MSW, and saw this sketch on their site by Jana Eubank and knew I had to play along! I am a banner girl and fell in love with this sketch!

I also had a chance to play with the March 1st layout sketch, a 2 pager! It's been quite awhile since I have done a 2 page layout, but this sketch was so easy to work with!

Lucy puts out a new card and layout sketch twice a month, the 1st and the 15th. The message board has a wonderful, caring group of girls! Stop over and check it out!

Recycled Dryer Sheet Blooms

I was blog reading last week and visited Gabrielle's blog and saw these wonderful flowers! They are made out of used dryer sheets and are so fun and easy to make! I made the flowers first and they were so elegant looking, I decided I needed an elegant photo to go along with them. I choose a few older photos of Sierra when she was 4 and a flower girl in my friends wedding. I love these flowers and now have to get more colors of Glimmer Mists so I can make more!

Here is my layout:

Best Creation Challenge

On the Best Creation's blog, they have a contest going through today. The challenge- create a fun birthday card using any Best Creations papers you have on hand.
I am not sure how old these papers are (I've had them for awhile) or the line they are, but they worked perfect for a fun, bright birthday card!

I fussy cut the kites and flowers from the pattern papers, made a few handmade flowers and a candle. The sentiment is also cut from one of the patterned papers.
