This Is The Good Stuff

Pink, Red And Green

Hi scrappers! I’m kicking off September with a page made for Lasting Memories. They were kind enough to invite me to be a guest designer for the whole month so you will see more layouts made for their weekly challenges throughout September!

The photos I chose are very silly, but also contained shades of green that matched the color palette. My kitty Europa loves catnip and I grow some in a to of my patio. Here she is trying to snack on some and looking pretty ridiculous while doing so.

I used some mottled pink cardstock from the Craft Consortium Over the Rainbow paper stack. This cardstock is nice and thick and made a great base for the green paper by The Paper Studio that is extremely thin. I also had a scrap of Happy and Bright paper which is part of a Christmas collection but worked well on this page. I also had a thin scrap of green striped paper which also was from a Christmas paper but you would never know!

I added some floral laser cutouts by 49 and Market as well as some rose ephemera from Memory-Place. Used foam core tape to pop up the photos and most of the flowers (and actually ended up using up the rest of my roll! 😞) A pale pink tag from the Heidi Swapp Set Sail collection provided nice contrast to the butterfly rub-ons and the silly title comes from the Vicki Boutin All the Good Things collection. It seemed appropriate for this page, plus it was the right color!

This month’s series of challenges at Lasting Memories will all be color palettes, which I love! Not only did I use the provided colors, but I also incorporated lots of florals since the inspiration picture was poinsettias.

I used this sketch from Sketch N Scrap. I didn’t get my entry in on time but I figured I would still feature my inspiration sketch here.

That’s all for this week. As always, the first of the month brings lots of new and exciting paper craft challenges. If you’re looking for a new one to compete in, check out the one I host over at A Cherry on Top. This month’s is a mood board. Hope to see you there!
