Layout #14 - Scrap-tures Spring Challenge

Just a quick post to show you this layout I completed, hopefully in time, for Scrap-tures blog challenge this week: Spring! These moose have been hanging around for a while now, and you can see in the photo of the baby that he's missing a patch of hair. Poor guy, not sure what happened to him. Anyway, it's not very often you can get close enough to a moose to capture a decent photo, so this was pretty neat to see them right outside our fence. Our neighbour isn't too happy, though - they were munching on his willow trees! I don't know about this layout though. It's kind of blah, don't you think? Not sure what I could've done with it to spruce it up, maybe some green around the journaling card? I'd like to hear your opinions! Oh, this is a GREAT Page Maps sketch from the winter issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine.

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket papers, Prima journaling card, Creative Memories pen, TLC letter stickers, CTMH White Daisy ink, unknown date stamp, ribbon, and twine

CPS 208

Ailis had a b-day party to go to on Sunday, so I worked all morning to make this card (it was supposed to be a quickie!) When she got home from the party, I asked her what her little friend thought of her present (and card), and she said, "I don't know, we couldn't find it!" Hmph, all that work for nothing?

Anyway, I used my fave Some Odd Girl image, Starbright Tia, a sketch from CPS, and some paper scraps. You can't see from the photo, but the pink strip is glitter paper. I think it turned out all right. I just hope someone finds it to appreciate it!

Supplies: CTMH cardstock, ink, blending pen, and Shining Star stamp set, Kaisercraft patterned paper, Doodlebug glitter paper, Autumn Leaves stamp set, Some Odd Girl digital image, 7 Gypsies brads, Copic markers, white acrylic paint
