LMCB - Sketch challenge with flowers

Good morning everyone...

I am a bit late with this post (couple of hours) - dang I have been late for the past couple of weeks!  Crazy super busy at work, getting a banner completed for my cousins wedding.  

Anywhoo... Lasting memories has a new challenge for this week "Flowers" and use the sketch.  

here is the sketch 

and here is my LO

 as you can see I turned it  

 I used fancy pants Country Boutique collection and Bazzill paper

 the flowers are made with Cricut Mother's day bouquet and Viva pearl pens which are my favorite... now to learn how to free hand the swirls... I tried a bit with this one... I would love to get more elaborate!

 the pictures are from Croatia when on our cruise.  I will be journaling but I am not keen on my writing so I won't journal till later but it does always get done. 

the film strip is from Cricut Wall Decor

Not only did I complete this LO because of the Lasting memories challenge but because I was also inspired by the below challenge

unity stamps - banners

Stampin' royalty - banners

Kaboddles- flowers

the craft cafe challenge blog - stitching

Scraptastic Club - Last September Challenge

Hello eveyone...

I'm am participating in a challenge from Scraptasic Club - their last one in September... I know October 4th and I am finishing up challenges from September.  I have given up trying to get everyone's challenge complete, there is just so much inspiration out there that I can't help but want to join them all.  

So getting back to the Scraptastic Challenge.  I have joined their monthly kit club and love what I have been receiving so far!!!  So because of that I am going to make it a priority to complete all their challenges so you can see the wonderful kits they have to offer.  

The challenge was a recipe challenge:  I was to use 3 cardstock (pink behind patterned paper, green in the 19 and black in the journal box) 4 patterned papers, 3 alphas, 2 pictures, 5 buttons, 1 banner, 1 journal spot and paint.

here are some close ups of  the Layout and to show what I used - the banner (which came from one of the Scraptastic kits)  and two of the alphas the green and the pink 

the paint added to the flowers

three of the five buttons, I used Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers

and the last of the five buttons

I am also going to put this LO into the following challenges 

Whimsical Wednesday - Anything goes

Fussy and Fancy Challenge - new technique - Paint on the flowers

I am also so excited to submit this as my application to the "My Craft Spot" Design team call

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Kimberly
