Shirley over at the Friday Mashup Challenge has another great challenge for us this week! She wants us to use birds on our project! I can't tell you how much I wanted to use the new "Nature Walk" stamp set from the new Mini Catalogue but I don't own it yet! I have been waiting for Sale-A-Bration to start as I am sure many of you have been too!!
I wanted to created something vintage and I was lacking MOJO!! I went looking at some of the other awesome challenges out there to get inpsired and decided I would try the Sketch 124 from the Clean and Simple Blog and The Colour Throwdown Challenge-Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake (I add black and vanilla as a neutral accent). I think I over did it with my Crumb Cake "distressing"!!
I hope you get the chance to play along with the Mashup Team this week!!! Be sure to check out the Colour Throwdown and the Clean and Simple Sketch too!
I love reading your comments and hearing from you! I can't wait to see what you create!
Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles,
Lesley
