Spring Blog Hop

I learned about the Spring Blog Hop from Sketchy Thursdays. I'm glad I saw it coz I just discovered 5 other great challenge sites because of it: Practical Scrappers, Scrap that Poetry, The Cuttlebug Spot, Pile it On and 365 Cards!!!:) Check out more about this blog hop and head on to the first stop: Practical Scrappers!:)

So here's a card I did for some of these sites (plus a few others):

inside the card...


Challenges:

• Practical Scrappers - Glitter/Bling
• The Cuttlebug Spot - Glitter/Bling
• Pile it On - Say it with words!
• 365 Cards - Day 44 - White Space (sketch below - hope I did it right..;))
  

• Simply Scrapping Crafts - April 2010 weekly technique challenge - rolled paper embellishments
• Raise the Bar - Challenge#13 Let's Spring For It! (found this site thru Pile it On:))
  
• Cupcake Craft Challenges - Challenge 85...Make Your Own Flowers (also found this site thru Pile it On:)), and
  
• Sophisticat Challenges - Challenge#29 - So Distressing - flower: there is one layer of the "petals" that had distressing ink.. and if course the rough (crumpled) edges of each "petal" :)
  

It was definitely challenging for me!:) It's my first time to do that kind of flower that I used.. and also my first time with that rolled embellishment.. but enjoyed every minute of doing it!:)
Thanks for looking!:)

SPCC#42 - Missin' You...

When I saw the colors for this week at SPCC, I knew I was definitely joining in! I just LOVE this week's color combo#42:

My Bridal Walk

I made this layout for Creative Scrappers.. Got really inspired to try out their sketch from the samples at their site! Here's Creative Scrappers' sketch#98: (in case the picture doesn't show up, just click on the link)

And here's my take on the sketch:



The picture was taken during my bridal walk down the isle last December...:) I chose the song "From This Moment On" by Shania Twain for my bridal walk song.. I just love its lyrics... and having a duet version with Bryan White just makes it perfect (i loooove duets!)!:) Blue is also our main wedding color..:)

More info:
Wedding photographer: Paul Vincent
Title: From This Moment...
Journal: (my fave parts of the song)

...you are the one... You and I will never be apart...
You're the reason I believe in love...
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above...
...I will love you as long as I live...
From this moment on...

Hope you like it!:) Thanks for looking!:)

Mojo Monday 132

I usually combine challenges when I make a card, but for this particular card, I made just for Mojo Monday..

Their sketch for this week gave us a choice of doing either a square or a round card.. Here's that gorgeous sketch:

I found the sketch quite challenging, especially for a newbie like me.. Then I just thought why not give it a try, right?..:P the cards from the Mojo Makers were surely inspiring!:) I decided to do a square card..:) and here it is:

I don't have much supplies yet, so I had to go out and buy the ribbon for the card.. haha!!

Thanks for viewing! Ta-ta!:)
