Harmony Day

We are having a Cyber Crop at Mystical Scrapbooks this weekend and the theme is Harmony Day.

Orange has been the Harmony Day colour since the first day was held in 1999.

So my challenge is to use the colour orange on your page.

Orange can be a bit of a tricky colour to use I think. I've used it as an accent colour and it is in my photos too.  You don't have to make a completely orange page, but kudos to you if you can make that work :) 

I didn't have any orange papers so I decided to stencil some Distress Ink onto Bazzill Basic white.
I actually just made a little stencil of my own by punching different sized circles out from a piece of card.  Then I stencilled some stars over the top with embossing paste.

I used two different Thickers and Basic Grey - Micro Monograms : pink for the titles.
The orange strip at the bottom, the ticket, "hey girl" and "you are amazing" are all from Pink Paislee's Hey Kid Elements stickers.  The bird and flower are from Doodlebug Hello Spring Cardstock Stickers.

I loved scrapping these cute photos of my youngest daughter playing cricket.  She is such a sporty girl :)

I hope you'll join us and make a page using one of our Harmony Day challenges.

Thanks for dropping by :)

For the month of March, we have 6 adorable character stamps, 2 sentiment stamp sets, 3 die sets, 1 stencil, and a new paper pad....so exciting as always!!

I've used an adorable new stamp called Bee Heidi and she is so very sweet!

I just had to use this wonderful sentiment with her from the new Bee-cause set and I used the Make a Tag #6 set to create the tag.  

I made the flower using the new Make a Card #13 die.  I decided to use white felt and added a button to the middle. It turned out to be a soft and pretty flower. This is a wonderful die and there are just so many ways to use it.

Gorgeous

I have another page to share for Mystical Scrapbooks today.

I wanted to scrap this photo of my youngest daughter in her pj's.  She had the cutest, curly hair when she was little and I wanted to try to capture her sweetness with a fun page!

I thought this paper from Cocoa Vanilla's  Free Spirit collection would work beautifully. It's called My Way and I love the design on the reverse of this paper too.

I also used the Free Spirit Die Cut Ephemera set.  There are just so many wonderful pieces in this collection!  All the words and the arrow on the left side are from it, plus the pink star.

I mounted the photo and embellishments onto Bazzill white cardstock and sewed around the edge for a bit of extra dimension and coziness :)

The alphabet and number stickers are from Pink Paislee's  Hey Kid - Elements Stickers.  This is a great set and a very close colour match for the blue used in the paper :)

Thanks for dropping by today :)

Chickie

I made a cute little Easter bag with a sweet new image from CC Designs called Chickie today :)

I had  the little gold bag already and I used the rectangle dies to cover it with paper.
And I used the circle die and scalloped circle die to cut the image out.
The "happy" is from the Make a Card #11 die set.  I thought it worked really well with the Easter banner she is holding.
I just folded the top of the bag over and held it closed with a little painted clothes peg.

This isn't filled with chocolatey goodies yet, I will have to wait until the last minute to do that obviously (I have no willpower when it comes to chocolate!)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Chickie
Card : x-press it, regal rose
Ink : memento black
Other : MAC #11 die, circle die, scalloped circle die, rectangle die, copics

Chicky Henry

I have a fun Easter card for CC Designs to share with you today :)
This stamp is SO cute!  It's called Chicky Henry.
I also used a sentiment from the new Sweet Spring set and embossed it in white.

I coloured the image with my copics and cut it out and teamed it with some cute Hello Sunshine paper from Doodlebug.
This just reminds me of a heap of m&m's or maybe those tiny little wrapped eggs.  And he's walking in front of a big one that's been split in half so that you can see the chocolate inside!
Or maybe I just can't wait for Easter and I'm having chocolate hallucinations?!


Ingredients :
Stamps : Chicky Henry, Sweet Spring
Card : x-press it, suede, hello sunshine (Doodlebug)
Ink : memento black, versamark
Other : circle die, scalloped circle die, autumn dots, white ep, copic

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges :
