Fall pages

I'm still showing projects I have created with Colorful Seasons. Here is a double layout for fall. Fall is such a beautiful time of the year. It still has some of the heat of summer but there is a crispness to it that is refreshing.

The placement of the title on these pages is unique and fun. Stamping the leaves on the background also gives these pages moment.

I stamped the "Just Breathe" on the Garden Green. This saying is one of my favorites because it reminds me of a favorite Bible passage, "Be still and know that I am God." Just breathe makes me thinking of being still.

Looking at these pages now, I'm not sure I like the stark white leaves on the pages. I think I would sponge them with the colors that the layout uses. The colors that I used on these pages aren't currently available in 12x12, they will be come June 1! I'm so excited to have all the colors available in 12x12 again!

Happy Stampin'!

Prom

Today my second daughter, Miriam, will be attending her senior prom. It seems like yesterday and I was attending my senior prom and now I feel like a senior on some days! UGH! Where does the time go? How am I old enough to have a senior in high school?!? Don't remind me that my oldest is married! Time needs to slow down a bit.

I created these pages for Miriam's pictures of prom last year. She wore a burnt orange dress and her date wore a navy dress shirt.

I really should find those pictures and get them on these pages. Cajun Craze is almost an exact match for the color of her dress.

I can't get over the details that Stampin' Up! is able to get from their dies. This set is beautiful! You could change the title out and colors to make this layout your own.

I know I have been focusing on retiring things lately and this set of pages doesn't have anything that is retiring. I did use the white gel pen on these pages and that retired last year. I couldn't resist sharing these pages on the day Miriam is headed to prom again! This year her dress is navy. It's so elegant and very Miriam.

Happy Stampin'!

My Inky Friends Design Challenge 5

It's that time of the month! I LOVE the My Inky Friends Design challenges. This month we are doing a sketch challenge.You can find this sketch on page 85 of the annual catalog.

Here is my take on the sketch.

This is not a very good picture. It was late at night, with no sun and my photo tent is currently down as I do some remodeling of my stamp room. Sorry! I wish it was better. This knight is so adorable! I'm very sad that he and his buddies aren't going to be hanging around much longer. I haven't had a chance to use them too much yet. They are on my list but...there is only so many hours in a day!

Anyway, you can join us at My Inky Friends with your creations!

Happy Stampin'!
