SOUS weekly challenge and some exciting news!

Happy Friday everyone! Another reveal @ SOUS! For this weeks fab challenge I decided to create a mini album. I used the challenge sketch from Becky Fleck @ Pagemaps and lots of creative freedom to design the cover of my book. I took the liberty of turning the sketch and played with the paper placement. I had hopes of posting the whole album but that will have to wait a day or so. I used Plantin for the squares and title font, Sentimentals for the marquee and a fab dollar frame from M's with one of my fave pics of Mcauley and I. We have added bling to the challenge this week and I ran across these fab blue swirls @ M's for 1.99, the blue rhinestones where included in the package...what a deal! I also found some wonderful blingy dragonflies, perfect for boy pages. The alpha stickers are by Making Memories. I used the new DCWV At Home stack....wonderful papers with lots of glitz and fabulous creams, browns and blues. I created a little wire embellie with beads to hold the key clasps...the little charms are by Blue Moon. I will include a little more info and close ups when I post the completed album.
I also would like to share some really exciting news. I had decided not to put anymore on my plate but then was asked to join the DT for Generations Crafting. Floren is a doll and made me an offer I could not refuse....LOL...so with school almost over I have decided to join her team. I hope you will pop over to her store and check out all the fab scrappy goodness she has....her papers and embellies were a perfect fit for me and I am sure you will love them too. So watch for some fun projects featuring the products from her store.
Head on over to SOUS to see what Nanne, Leah and Sandi came up with plus a wonderful surprse from this weeks guest designer Debbie.
I'll post the mini album soon so keep a look out!!!! Thanx for stopping by and have a great day!

  2. I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover BUT if this is anything to go by the rest is going to blow me away (as do all your projects). This is just stunning. I must agree that is a fab picture of you and Mcauley. Really loving your choice of papers and the bling is a perfect finishing touch.
