Home Beach Home

This week at Scrap It With a Song we are scrapping along to the song 'Feels Like Home' by Chantal Kreviazuk. Absolutely GORGEOUS song. I hope you will come play along and try your hand at winning a lovely set of 8x8 digi papers from Toucan scraps. Remember you don't HAVE to use the lyrics as a whole in your project. You can use a word in your title, the over all theme, journal the lyrics, or even just let the embellies or photos display the song lyrics you choose.

On my project I chose not to use the exact lyrics from the song. I let the title inspire me to think of what feels like home to me. Without a second of further thought I am already at the beach in my mind. So here is what I created for this challenge:

The papers are both pre printed with these designs. They were scraps so I can't tell you the brand, but I assure you they were both bought recently at Joanns. The sand paper was torn at a curve to give the illusion of the waves from the underlayer of ocean paper lapping up on the shore. The palm tree and beach chair are diecuts that I received from my friend Cathie. Check out her Etsy Shop. She seriously has THE cutest embellished die cuts .... EVER! As a matter of fact, the sun came from her too with the flocked center and glittered rays. I put my sentiment on a tiny circle to be in the center of the sun. Since that is the brightest layer to the card, I thought it stood out more. :) The sun is seriously the nicest made embellie with so much detail and texture and is still for sale here.

BLOG CANDY!!!

One of our previous winners at Scrap It With a Song has posted an amazing blog candy giveaway.

So why don't you head on over and sign up to be in the running to win this yummiest of yummy prize packs and then stick around a while and look over her blog. A.W.E.S.O.M.E. :) :) :)

Pretty Little Paper Love

World Card Making Day...take 2

Well you can tell the sun is setting around here because the natural light I'm using looks fine in person, but in the photo this bad boy is casting some loooong shadows. I don't want to hold off on sharing until tomorrow.....so cruddy pictures are what you get I guess. Darn my impatience! :)

This card was inspired by four challenges. The challenge at 365 Cards on Friday was the 3 'P's. Polka dots...check! Paper piecing...check (around the sentiment)! Pop dots...check (the sentiment is popped up)! The challenge at Cute Card Thursday was to use clocks or a theme of time. I printed out a digi image of a clock onto grey cardstock and voila! I used the sketch over at Unscripted Sketches as well! It's hard to tell in the pics but the ribbon is running the whole width of the card and matching ribbon is used to put little tabs off the sentiment too. :)
