The Color Room Palette #89

Hello all!! Can you believe Christmas is already THIS weekend!?!?! The days just fly by around here. I had to take some time out for myself and work on this weeks palette. I have to say, I did struggle a bit with these colors. I used some leftovers from a  Swirlydoos kit that's over a year old...lol!! Love going through my stash!!! 

It's our day

This is my daughter Cleapatra and me. We share the same birthday! So, every year we take a picture together and I try to scrap it. Ummm, I think I'm behind. This picture is two years old...oops!



Here is this weeks palette

 The butterflies I used are from my Etsy Shop. You can find them HERE

Thanks so much for stopping by!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Had to share....

Isn't she sooooo pretty?!?!?!? I recently bought some new leaves and the first thing that came to mind was "Fairy Dress".  So, I took out all my little flowers and got to work making a little fairy dress form. Goodness, I just can't get over how cute she is!! LOL!!

You find her here-----> Angelica's Little Scrap Shop

Along with some new vines and butterflies that I've made!!

The Color Room Palette #87

Hello all!! Just a quick post today to show ya my entry for this weeks Color Room palette. Again, colors that I don't normally scrap. This is the reason why I love the color room so much!! Gets me totally motivated!!

Whispy

This week I followed the sketch as closely as I could. It's such a nice sketch with lots of negative space, but I couldn't stop myself with the embellishments! The pretty butterflies, I call Moon's  Sparkle, can be found at my ESTY SHOP.

 Here is this weeks palette.

I was sooooooooo excited to have my entry from last week featured this week!!! I have such a hard time with masculine pages and to have it featured really boosted my confidence!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

The Color Room Palette #86

I totally missed playing along with The Color Room. Now that things have settled down at home front I have my free time back...yay!!

I've been waiting for the perfect palette to scrap Elijah's back to school pics. And, in the meantime I was collecting and hording masculine embellishments...lol!!

back 2 skool

We really don't dig turkey, so Michael cooked a ham instead for Thanksgiving. Sooooo, I kept the netting the ham came in. Love that stuff!!!

Just a close up of the cool ass Dusty Attic brick panels.

I just love ripping and getting my hands dirt when it comes to corrugated cardboard. Here I just painted the cardboard. While it was tacky I  added ripped pieces of pattern paper and glued down with Modge Podge. Then, I painted over the paper and heated. Once dried I peeled back little bits of the paper to give a peeling wall paper look.

Here is this weeks palette...very inspirational!!

Thanks for the visit!!

Scrappy Hugs,

The Color Room #74

Hello everyone!! I hope you're all enjoying the long weekend. I know I am!! I managed to get a page done today using the color room palette. I've really wanted to do a masculine page with the"His Room" color combo, but I always end up using one of the girls photos. Why? I don't know. It seems that I always find one to match better, I guess! LOL!

Enjoy the holiday!!
