Show projects & a reminder...
Friday, January 30, 2009 at 10:29AM First, don't forget that tomorrow is the last day for the January Month By Month challenge going on over at CK! Pretty please go participate for a chance to win a copy of my book! This month's challenge is totally easy (just use orange, green and blue on a layout), so you really have no excuse. :) And, because I know it might still be a bit confusing, see my link over on the left about the challenges for more specific instructions, okay? Cool. :)
For what it's worth, I even played along. If you remember, my "Be Driven" list for my Lists of Me album was all orange, green and blue. So there. ;)
Now, I also wanted to share with you the layouts and project I did for Prism's CHA booth. Just some fun ones that, like so many of my layouts, illustrate how very awesome Prism cardstock is...
This first one is of my Micah and my sweet niece, Makenna (yeah, you'll likely see her in more layouts now that I finally have a little girl nearby to snap pictures of, LOL) just after she'd first moved here to CO last spring:
The wee bit of patterned paper (including the little journaling block that is cut from a larger piece of patterned paper) is from Teresa Collins' terrific Crush line. I also used some of the Teresa Collins big pink brackets (for mini albums) to create the bracket shape out of cardstock.
This next one is way simple:
I LOVE that bit of patterned paper from Graphic 45's Playtimes Past collection (the bit there with the bike). It was so perfect for this layout! It's hard to see, but I also went over that bike graphic with Glossy Accents to add a bit of dimension and it looks way cool in real life. :) (Oh, and for the record, the training wheels remain ON the bike...this was just a test run, lol.)
This final layout from the show is probably my favorite:
It also uses a wee bit of that Playtimes Past paper (the dominoes). Isn't my Micah the most adorable three year old ever?! (Course, he was two in these pictures.)
I also made this way fun crown out of cardstock for the booth. Jamie (Prism gal extraordinare) was supposed to wear it but I caught her without it on, LOL! She tells me she did wear it around the office when it first arrived:
Again, the bits of patterned paper are from Teresa Collins' Crush line and the little letter stickers read "Queen of the Crop." Fun, no? I actually made other projects for the booth that didn't get used due to space. I wanted to share at least one of those because I just think it's cool:
Just a fun wreath made out of Prism cardstock and Graphic 45 Botanica Bella papers. It's a bit bigger than 12" and didn't really take that long to make once I got going. Each little rolled piece is a quarter of a 6" circle. I used a cake tray thing for the base and a LOT of hot glue. ;)
Okay, that's all I wanted to say today. :) Don't forget to post a layout (or more than one layout) to my January MBM challenge and also remember to check out my CHA show favorites in the post below...
