Fur, Feathers, or Fins at Paper Ala Mode

It's time for a new challenge at Paper Ala Mode, and our theme is Fur, Feather, or Fins.   

Please join are pet spirit and visit Paper Ala Mode for fabulous inspiration by the design team, and be sure to play along.  There's time to enter through July 16.  See you there!

Power Poppy Bloomie CASE

The challenge is to CASE a Bloomie, a design team member at Power Poppy.  I chose Gloria to CASE - specifically her technique in her Forest Fellas card of November 17 on which her background included subtle snowflakes.  Gloria's subtle use of snow in her blue background inspired me here....I wanted to see if I could duplicate the pretty blue background digitally with snowflakes.  I'm disappointed in my photo because I'm quite proud of my folds on this elf's skirt....in the photo, I lost that illusion.  I pretty much followed Gloria's card design as well, changing out the scalloped frame for a frame scalloped only on one side.  Power Poppy is giving away scores of prizes, so this weekend is a good time to join them.

A Sweet Nature Layout

Here's a layout using papers from Best of Autumn from We Are 3.  I think those autumn colors work well with the nature photos from the Desert Museum. 

I like how the rows of small photos so represents how you feel when you visit the museum. 

Snippy Scrapper Sketch Challenge

Beginning to hear from our snowbird friends who may be visiting this winter.  Always fun to have visitors and show them around...and Tombstone is always on the list.  Today's layout is inspired by the sketch challenge at Snippy Scrappers.  You know I can't pass up a good sketch challenge!  

I used a combination of a couple different paper collections by We Are 3 - Best of Autumn and Trains.  I used some Trains Frames for embellies.

The "journaling" and "title" were computer generated.  I also used a sentiment from the Travel set.    

             

             

             

We Are 3 Best of Autumn Papers and Creative Memories Layout

All in all, pretty clean and simple layout, but the Best of Autumn papers lend themselves well to rustic outdoor layouts, which is what I wanted here.  Be sure to stop by the We Are 3 Facebook page to see other fabby creations by the rest of the team.  We LOVE to see what you create, as well.

Stick It Down Sketch

This is for the Stick It Down Sketch Challenge.  I did flip the sketch - both vertically and horizontally.  My sweet train-patterned papers are a birthday gift to me from Bonnie at We Are 3.  The gorgeous paper is Trains and goes well with Best of Autumn that I have been using for my current scrapbook.  I added some Trains printables that Bonnie also created for me, as well as the Travel sentiments I used on the page.  

        

August Stick It Down Single-Page Layout Sketch

This layout is inspired by the single-page layout sketch at Stick It Down!  I used Best of Autumn papers.  The sentiment is from my stash of alphabet pages I bought when I first started scrapbooking.
