Hey everyone... hope you are all doing well.

the idea to do this card was because of the challenge at CASology (link below) and of course a couple of other challenges

The crown is from cricut - embossing background and of course some bling.

Celebrate stamp is from CTMH

LMCB - Alphabet challenge

Good morning everyone... Happy May 24!!!!  

Tomorrow we celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday - as a teenager... I celebrated the fact that A- it was a day off from school and B - first long weekend of the "summer"

today at Lasting memories we have a new challenge for you to join

"Alphabet"

now the DT struggled with this one for a bit and I think that everyone took different inspiration from the alphabet.  Some picked a letter to use on the page some used reading 

Here is my inspiration and i used different coloured letters and tried to use my alphabet in a new way by cutting out the letters with my cricut and I love love love how it turned out.  seems to be the new thing to do in the scrappy world. 

Here is my two page LO (please ignore the magnets in the corners)

this is a special group of ladies from across Canada who I train with.  We all go together in Toronto for additional training and the one page was left with inspirational words from the week

this page was inspired by the following sketch from inspired blueprints

there was some turning of the sketch and flipping but the inpirations came from it... do you see it?

and page two sketch inspiration also came from inspired blue prints loved the large space at the top for everyone to write their inspirational words

some close ups...

below is my inspirational words from the training

my first pictures i forgot to journal... here it is now

Other challenges that inspired me:

the paper shelter - atg

the crafters cafe - for woman

paper craft star - pastels

scrap it with a song - mr. blue skys

life.paper.scrapbook - colour challenge
