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

through the craft room door -atg 

unity stamps - banners

Stampin' royalty - banners

Kaboddles- flowers

the craft cafe challenge blog - stitching 

counterfeit kit challenge - summer garden

CR84FN- colour

Hope you all have a great Sunday!!!

altered box - back to school

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend.

Ok... so if you have been following my blog you will know that I am more of a scrap-booker and card maker.  I haven't made too many altered items... but I thought that i would make an exception for a couple of challenges and some fancy pants paper that i had left over from last Septembers Scaptastic club kit.

I started out with a box from the dollar store... I actually really like the checkered red top of the box

 I wasn't too keen on the flowers... well for a school box that is

 Added some fanny pants paper some embellishments...

and  voila.. a beautiful box for school items

 some close ups below on the embellishments and paper used 

 I was inspired by the below challenges to make this box
