A Sweet and Simple Take on the Cherry on Top Challenge

I decided to jump into the latest Cherry on Top Cherry Lift Challenge!

The first step was finding the right materials. I managed to score some incredible patterned papers from my local craft group's freebie table—they were in the sweetest, most yummy colors imaginable. Sometimes, the best supplies find you!

Given how much was already going on with the bold paper patterns, I decided to keep the layout clean and simple (CAS). I didn't want to overwhelm the eye. The pattern colors provide all the "pop" this project needs, letting the fun patterns be the star of the show.

Head over to the Cherry on Top Challenge blog to see all the other amazing entries!

Masked Minion

Usually, I'm racing against the deadline, but I finished my project for Sketch Challenge #460 with time to spare. The best part? The colors I chose ended up being a perfect match for my niece’s glasses—I couldn't have planned it better if I tried!

A Cherry on Top Challenge

Sharing a fresh layout today inspired by the latest “Sketch with a Twist” challenge at A Cherry on Top. I decided to play with some of my favorite Creative Memories pieces for this one. I’m still a bit bummed that their digital packs are a thing of the past, but it’s been fun rediscovering what I already have in my digital library. I’m quite pleased with the outcome—what do you think?

Valley Voice Valentine

The title "Valley Voice Valentine" is a fantastic alliterative choice for the A Cherry on Top challenge! It perfectly bridges the local Green Valley identity, the technical aspect of Ham Radio, and the heart of the club's Valentine's Day event.
