Leadership Display Samples - Take NINETEEN

This little hair clip was made using products from the current Occasions Mini.  I made this for the displays at Leadership this year.  I know this one actually made it on display, but they hung it on a clothesline, which I don't think really did it any justice.  But oh well, it looked really cute on my daughter's head.  I just didn't get a photo that was in focus to publish here.

Here's a look at the back of the pin.  I tied it to the clip using some of the organza ribbon from the Sale-a-bration catty.  Below you will find a closeup of the whole thing.

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #115

This week we have a great colour challenge over at Stampin' Royalty.

I really loved the colours in this challenge, so I decided to use

My Digital Studio and scrap this photo of me and my daughter a few years ago.

I started by using the Downtown Grunge digital kit.  It has the best templates.  I really recommend it if you want to get a digital kit.  Don't forget you can use these kits with other digital scrapbooking programs like Photoshop.

Colour Q Challenge #128

This week there is another fabulous colour combo for you at Colour Q.  Hop on over to check out the fabulous creations by the design team.

Although green is not really the first colour you think of when you think of Easter, I thought that these photos of my son in his green shirt, searching for Easter Eggs was great to scrap for this challenge.

Leadership Display Samples - Take EIGHTEEN

This card was kind of fun to put together.  I am really getting into the whole vintage, distressing thing.  I used to be such a Clean and Simple kinda gal.  :)   Anyway, I stamped the frame and then tore the paper around it.  Then I crumpled it and squished the edges.  Finally I sponged on ink from the Distressing Kit.  The label was stamped with the 'Hello' sentiment and then punched out with the Decorative Label punch.

The Lace border punch was punched out, and then I wove the organza ribbon through it.  I placed it on the expresso strip of cardstock for more contrast.  The final touch was the tiny little butterfly Brad which I added to the top right corner.

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #114

This week we have a theme challenge over at Stampin' Royalty.

The theme is

GO GREEN

You can interpret this to mean Green as in St. Patrick's Day

or Green as in Recycling and Good for the Earth.

Originally I made this little 3D display banner for the Leadership Display boards.  I used the Sale-a-bration set  Elementary Elegance.   I made the letters with the Big Shot and Daffodil Delight cardstock.  I used a two way glue pen and a LOT of glue and some gold glitter from the Supernova fine glitter pack.  Below is a closeup of one of the panels in the banner.

Colour Q Challenge #127

 We have a fantastic Colour Challenge for you today over at the Colour Q.  I made this page featuring the Sale-a-bration downloads for My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!  I have to admit that these colours did not immediately make me think of Easter, but when I found these photos from Easter last year, I started scrappin' and here's what I came up with.  The layout is a sketch from Pagemaps. 

Leadership Display Samples - Take SEVENTEEN!!

I absolutely love this picture of my son.  Can you believe that I took this with my iphone???  The colours match the cardstock perfectly.  I used the sale-a-bration set Spinkled Expressions to make the background paper.  I stamped each image twice.  The second image was lighter.  This is called 'stamping off'.  It adds a lot of texture and depth to the images.
