Happy St Patty's Day Challenge

Okay... I admit it.... I hate the color green. I rarely use it on my layouts and sure as heck don't wear it either. BUT.... I love St Patty's Day. I am a sucker for a four leaf clover and a cute little leprechaun.

This layout is the closest layout I ever did using green. It is of my brother and his wife on their wedding day last summer.

Challenge: I would like to see you use the color green on your next layout or card. It must be one of your main color choices and quite visible. Email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca or link it below for a chance to win the $50.00 Gift Code from LCOM!

Baubles and Frills Challenge

I just love anything frilly and shiny. I am a total girl in that way. Steve jokes that I was born in the wrong era because I love anything vintage.

I did the following layout for weScrap using thier latest kit called "Her Majesty".



I loved all the extra's that came with the kit. There were some baubles, tulle and some lovely filmstrip. I gathered the tulle and placed it at the bottom of my photo to act as a frame. I added the baubles using brads to my filmstrip. I also had some fabric laying around and made a funky fabric flower!

FYI.... if you purchase this kit you should be aware that the rubons are fussy so please be careful and that you will need extra adhesive for your letter stickers.

Challenge: I would like to see some baubles, frills or other vintage inspired element on your next creation. Email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca or link it below to earn a ballot for the $50.00 gift card to LCOM!!

Quote Challenge

Everyone knows by now that I am a quote hound. I just love them.

March is always the longest month in the year for me. The days seem to drag on forever and the sun begins to tease us that Spring is on it's way. I found this great quote:

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." ~Charles Dickens

It makes me think of flowers, especially tulips:




Challenge: Create and card or layout using this quote and email it to me for a chance to win a $50.00 gift card to LCOM! You can also link your it below. Email me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot. There are lots more challenges to come and therefore lots more chances to win.
