Mood Swings....

No, not mine! but my daughter's!! I don't know about your daughter, but mine can be super happy one minute and ready to explode with anger the next .... luckily that doesn't last either and 5 minutes later she's her happy self again! And it's only my daughter, my boys don't "suffer" from these mood swings, they are much more level headed. Oh well, maybe it's a girl's things, cause to be honest, I kinda recognize it... :-)

Here's my page:

I used papers and embellishments from GCD Studios, "Homespun Chic" by Melody Ross. I just LOVE this line, it's so colorful and there are so many extra's to make your page complete (I even used 2 of the packages because they were too beautiful to throw away.... do you see them??)! I didn't even use my Epiphany Crafts tools as this line has its own epoxy shapes!!

And of course I had to use my sewing machine. I stitched a border around the papers and the photos, stitched through one of the borders and I stitched right through the title.

The layout is based on Liz' new sketch from The Scrappiest!! I love this sketch (but as you know, I love them all, LOL).

Did you know there's a Design Team Call going on at The Scrappiest??? If you love Liz' sketches and love to be on a Design Team, why not give it a shot???

This is it for now! See you tomorrow?? I'll show you the layout I created for the Dutch Dares then!

Made a fun card for MyStampBOX

Last week Jolene from myStampBOX challenged us to create a card (or layout) using grey paired with our favorite bright colors and this is what I made:

And these are the stamps I used:
The set is called "Abundant Blossoms" and they are so versatile! Recently I created a layout for my post on the mSB blog (end of April) and found there are many other ways to use them!! Show you later!

Thanks for visiting my blog and hope to see you soon!
Hugs, Monique
