Scrappin Patch April Challenge

The challenge for this month at Scrappin Patch is using a sketch from Page Maps.

 

I have had these photos for some time.  I had put together a kit with different summer/beach themed papers and embellishments.  The photo fit well with the story behind the quote 'there is never enough time to do all the nothing you want'  I love the 7gyspies page stickers.  They add the extra little details that you need to finish of the page without overdoing it.  I am looking forward to getting all the photos from this holiday scrapped.  Sometimes it just takes a bit to get started.

Exciting news

Do you remember this post.  It was my entry into Scrappin Patch's Scrap your stash challenge.  Well I have won.

Exciting.  I haven't been into challenges but have been giving more a go.

Scrappin Patch - Use your stash challenge #3

 Scrappin Patch has a challenge each Wednesday morning.  This week is a colour challenge.

The first card was the idea I started out with. 

As I started pulling out papers and bits and pieces to work with I came up with something more detailed.  It made sense to make them both as I had all my stash out to work with.  It was great to use some of my supplies that I hadn't already played with.  Love the seam binding; ribbon for tying bows.

These are the colours in the challenge.  At first I thought they would be tricky to work with.  I was pleasantly surprised by how they came together.
