A few new pages...

I'm so behind with everything! My posts, showing you layouts, my daily inspirations.... I'll catch up. I promise!!

Here are a few new-ish pages...

One of my New Year's resolutions was to do all 52 challenges in Elsie Flannigan's book. I've only done 2. Here is the second. The challenge was to focus on one picture turned black and white...



I was inspired by a challenge on the Bad Girls kit club message board. Your layout had to be about "treasure". I couldn't submit my layout since I didn't make it with their kit, but I did a page anyway...



I saw an amazing layout on 2peas using the 7gypsie stickers that I LOVE. So here is my take. I'll try to figure out who's idea I have stolen and give credit where credit is due...



Thank you for visiting!

So much to catch up on...

So I will just start with the cards I just finished for a swap. These were a lot of fun. I used Love, Elsie Roxie stamps, American Crafts paper, Anna Griffin paper, Rhonna Ferrar paper, vintage sheet music, black tulle, white ribbon and various buttons. I embossed the skull with sparkly embossing powder and put some stickles on the eyes.
