This layout was for a color combination challenge over at http://www.thescrapcity.com/ We were to use three colorsto create our layout. I got some use out of my new Fiskars lace edge and threading waters punches too!

July 4th: This challenge was focused on using stars.
My Girl: This challenge we needed to define what our style was and do our best layout in that style. I called my style "Shabby-Frilly-Flowery-Bling-A-Licious".
If you are looking for a great challenge or two to complete this week, head on over to http://www.scrapstreet.com/ and go to the Scrapstreet Star Forum and you will find a bunch of great challenges to participate in!
This was for a clear embellishment challenge. I used Heidi Swapp ghost snow flakes, a MME transparent frame, acyrlic letters and gems.
This is for a Bling challenge. I used two Prima Say It With Crystals flourishes, American Crafts glitter Thicker letters, Bazzill Bling bloom and Bling cardstock, clear Stickles on the green flower and rubbed into each corner of the background paper, and a Making Memories crystal brad as the flower center.
This one was for a "make your own embellishment" challenge. I did the flower by floding 8 circles to make the flower petals, stamped a circle of transparency sheet with Staz-on ink to mimic a Maya Road sheer journal spot. I also did the same to create the alphabet border. I cut the title letters from chipboard and covered with Stickles. The flourishes are 3 layers of cardstock to create the depth of chipboard as I couldn't cut chipboard with my QK.

This kit is packed with lots of fun goodies. There are beautiful black, red, and white papers from Cherry Arte. The others are from Paper Trunk. Hurry over to 4scrappysisters.com on March 25th to pick up your kit before they are gone!
