June Papertrey Blog Hop!

Good Afternoon, Friends! Today I'm participating in the June Papertrey Blog Hop! Be sure to stop by and see everyone's wonderful creations!! Our challenge this week was to use the photo below as inspiration. I decided to go CAS with my card today. As you can see, I went pretty basic by using the background colors in the same way as the photo. I decided that I'd use the hot air balloon image as the focal point for the card. I chose to place it where the adorable dresses were hanging in the photo. I did add a bit of extra color by using twine to tie the buttons. Oh! and isn't that little yellow button the sweetest?!? I've saved it for a while and decided that today was the day to use it:)

I can't wait to see everyone's creations!

Happy Saturday!!

happy easter

Hello! I have to give a shout out today to one of my favorite blogs. Melissa Phillips' blog, LilyBean's Paperie, is a source of much inspiration for me. I enjoy and appreciate her words and her projects. Today's card was inspired by Melissa Phillips' challenge. She chose an awesome photo inspiration that you can see here. The colors are beautiful, but not my typical palette. I enjoyed playing with them, though, and I'm happy with the result.

Head in the Clouds Kaylee

Wow!! That's quite a room isn't it? Of course, as girly-girl goes, it's perfect. What I wouldn't have given to have a funky room like this when I was little! This photo is the inspiration shot for Crazy 4 Challenges #47 this week. Below is my take on the photo. I found the awesome digi image at Some Odd Girl. She's called "Heads in the Clouds Kaylee," and she seemed the perfect fit for this challenge. Don't you just love the sparkly rhinestone on her shoe? I imagine that this card would be a fun card for one girlfriend to give to another.....no matter how old they are!!
