For the "A" in this challenge, I used papers from Authentique's "United" collection.  I also used five buttons, and various shades of red, white, and blue to highlight one of my favorite pictures of my daughter at the USA Women's National Soccer Team game.



 
For A I used multiple collections from American Crafts, for B I used two pink buttons along with some enamel dots and for C I used Pink, Blue (Navy and Light Blues).

Challenge #272 - Colour Splash Challenge!

Hi Peeps,

it's Majo here to "entertain" you! I'm so glad to see you here again for the current Challenge #272 - Colour Splash! 

Use ONLY Black & White plus one colour of your choice on your creation :)

You can craft anything you like, an ATC, a tag, a card or a layout or even a canvas. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with!

A little inspiration for you is my ATC using Viva Las VegasStamps for the main image, the hat and the word, Rubber Dance Stamps for the wings and some unknown manufacturer for the tiny little stars. 


Take a look at the beautiful creations from our Design team:

Gail

I used the Kaisercraft - #ME Collection for this layout.



Heather R

Pictures of my hunky hubby and I on our recent vacation. I used papers from Echo Park and DCWV as well as a mix of embellies from my stash.


Amanda

I scrapped this photo from our maternity photo shoot with baby #1! Seems so long ago!


Lori

I created a set of project life style cards using black and white with a splash of teal:

Challenge # 271 - All Creatures Great and Small


Hello one and all! Happy Monday and welcome to this week's challenge...a fun one I hope! This week's challenge is to create a project with an animal on it..it can be in the photo, it could be some embellishments or DP that you use....

Here are some fun projects that the DT created to get you started!


It was easy to make a page about my beautiful li'l creature Mini!


My daughter has a habit of sending me pictures from school holding all sorts of creatures in her Biology classroom...I decided her school/zoo pictures would be perfect for this challenge.



I'm a bird watcher so lots of photos of a variety of birds here's one.



My daughter and her little dog, Willie enjoying a beautiful sunny day riding down the river.




I love birds!



Amy.L
I was very excited to do this challenge, as I had been hoarding this paper since I got it in March. I used some scraps of papers to do the borders around the photo and punch out the hearts. I love my bunnies.

Challenge #270 - A Magical Music Challenge

Music can be such a wonderful and powerful thing. The right song can change your whole mood.  It can also help inspire a great scrapbook layout or card.  For this week's challenge, I would love to see your projects inspired by music and Disney.  Use a Disney song title or lyrics on your card or layout. It doesn't even have to be a Disney project. 

In my layout below I used "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid with pictures of my son and his girlfriend from their senior prom this last April.






Here's my layout featuring a song from the Disney movie MARY POPPINS, called FEED THE BIRDS.  I used a sketch from Creative Scrappers and the Fancy Pants - Attwell line.


Amanda

For my layout I used some lyrics from the song A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes from the movie Cinderella to document this photo from my maternity shoot with my first.



I have chosen "You've Got A Friend In Me" from Toy Story for my layout of my two boys when they were little boys..



For this challenge, I used a kit featuring Moana, which has a sticker that uses a line from her feature song.  This is my first time doing a Disney themed planner spread, but the happy colors are awesome.
