Ella's Pink Scrapbook, Challenge #6

This one's for MOM!

This week's challenge at Ella's Pink Scrapbook is Mother's Day!

This was an easy challenge for me...I've been wanting to do something with this picture for a while...and when I saw these yummy papers from Pink Paislee - Queen Bee Collection I knew it was a perfect fit! Its gorgeous paper! The sentiment is from Creative Memories. I used my Storybook Cricut Cartridge for the Motherhood title. The buttons & twine I had in my stash and I picked up the cute heart charm from The Town Scrapper!

So swing by The Pink Elephant blog and play along with Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenge, and check out what the Design Team has to show you!

Have a great Day!

Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenge #2

Thanks to everyone for playing last week for the very first challenge at Ella's Pink Scrapbook! For our second challenge we want to see a Scrap Make-Over! Just take a page and recreate, add or spiff it up in anyway! I did this layout about 6 years ago and although I liked it something about it always bothered me...I think it was all the different dp's and the gigantic d-a-d! (what was I thinking? I have many pages like that! lol) So I took the whole thing apart and created a new page, which I'm very happy with!

BEFORE

AFTER

(My very favorite picture of my hubby and son!)

I used a piece of DP from Upsy Daisy Designs that I've had for ever and trimmed it down so I could stitch it to an olive green background. I cut out the paisleys that were going to be covered with the picture and popped them randomly for more dimension. I distressed around the edges and it was done! I can see many more scrap-makeovers in the future.

Don't forget our Design Team call is still open so show us your stuff if you're interested in joining us!

Check out what the SCRAP DESIGN TEAM has come up with and play along with us this week!
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenge Debut!

Today's the day!!! The very first scrapbook challenge for Ella's Pink Scrapbook at The Pink Elephant! To kick off our very first challenge we want to see you use your FAVORITE TECHNIQUE! Show us what you love to do on your pages, the possibilities are endless!

Here's my layout...using my favorite technique (right now), Stitching!

I used My Minds Eye (Abbey Road) Whirly bird paper, which I love!!! The paper with the birds originally had a scalloped edge but I cut it off so it would be smaller than the pink polkadot paper. I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of the pink paper (using white thread) and then used purple thread and stitched around the edges of the bird paper. I used my pop dots to add some dimension to the layers. I also stitched the big pink 'swirl' which I took my craft knife to and cut around the edges so I could slip my picture underneath. I added lots of buttons and the saying I printed off on my computer.

Don't forget we are looking for 2 more designers to join us, for more details click here!

So be sure to check out the TPE blog and see what the fabulous Design Team has come up with and make sure you play along to win a fabulous little prize!

Looking forward to seeing your layouts! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
