Loveliness Layout

Hello friends! Life has been busy but I still try to find time to be creative so I decided to join some of the monthly challenges that Paper Issues has.  This one is for the Take 5 Tuesday challenge. The challenge is to use five or more items on the list on a layout.  I thought I would do some stash busting while I'm at it.  

I have been hoarding this Pink Paislee Bella Rouge Collection for two years and thought it was time to break it out.  I am really digging pink at the moment and softer colors.  This layout is of my daughter and her bridesmaids on her wedding day.

I added a flair button from A Flair For Buttons

My sewing machine always gets a workout and I love the texture that just a little sewing creates on a layout.

Recently I purchased a pink Typecast typewriter from We R Memory Keepers to add some journaling to my layouts.  Journaling is something I usually hide or write on the back of my layouts, but I am trying to add more journaling strips.

Bella Blvd. always has some of the cutest embellishments so I dug into my stash once again and pulled out an pink enamel heart and a pink felt bow.

I love these silver phrases that I had in my stash and thought the word "loveliness" would be perfect for my title.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit and have a chance to do something you love.  It is soothing for the soul.  Have a great day!

The Colour Suite Challenge

I am working on an art journal at the moment and it's so much fun to get words out onto paper and get inky and messy with paint and other mediums.

Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine has a monthly challenge.  It's The Colour Suite Challenge.  They give a palette of colours and it challenges me to get creative with the colours.  I thought I would try it as I love all the colors.  It almost looks like halloween colours.  My page reads Be Bold...Live Out Loud.
