Paper Ala Mode Thinking of You

This week at The Outlawz and Paper Ala Mode Challenge, the challenge is Thinking of Others. I chose two papers from our sponsor We Are 3 - papers from Floral Watercolors and Watercolor Strokes. I combined digitally, and couldn't resist using a digital stencil technique on the Watercolor Strokes. I added a doily from the Floral Doily set. The sentiment is from the Hope set.

There's lots of inspiration from the design team, so be sure to check it out at Paper Ala Mode - we can't wait to see what you come up with.

                        

Power Poppy Creative Confetti Challenge

This week for Creative Confetti at Power Poppy, it's all about Popping the Flower - using a dark background to make your flower pop.  Ah, I see once again I skimmed the instructions and chose a bear instead of a flower to color!  You can see I'm taking retirement from education to heart - LOL!  I am, however, so happy with my finished product.  My bear does pop from the dark wood background I put behind him.  I used a free digi from Carinas Freebies to color.  The background wall is paper pieced from Little Scraps of Heaven.  The background floor is paper pieced from We Are 3 (April Showers).  I added a sentiment from Love SVG.  I then cut the image in a circle on my eClips and popped that on top of a scalloped circle from Monica's Creative Room.

The fabulous background is Watercolor Strokes from We Are 3.

Remember, you have all month to get your card in to Creative Confetti.
