WOW!!!!!

OMG!!! I was so lucky enough to have the opportunity to play with Words or Whatever! If you are not familiar with them you can check out there stuff here: WOW. For the XOXO challenge this month I was provided some amazing lantern chipboard pieces from WOW.  I had these great pictures from China Town in San Fran that I thought would be perfect for these cute lanterns.  For a chance at prizes, make sure to check out the XOXO blog.  There are at least five (yes I said FIVE) chances to win!!! Check out my creation below!!

Card Crazy!!

Pretty Pink Posh is hosting her 10 Minute Craft Dash with pink, navy, and aqua as the color challenge (see the banner below).

I quickly pulled together supplies from these three colors.  Lucky for me I pretty much sort everything by color so it makes challenges like this much easier.  My first card is LUCKY…

I have been wanting to use the cute tiny, tiny clothes pin and I think it added a great touch. This card took me 9 minutes and 32 seconds because I couldn’t find the right alpha. 

Since I had out the supplies, I decided to make one more.  I pulled out all my aqua/teal washi to create the background and added some pink washi to the butterflies.  This one only took 7 minutes and 3 seconds. 

 

This challenge was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for the next one!!!

Black & Yellow

 

Scraptastic Club has a pinterest challenge going on this month that I had to take a stab at.  The challenge was to take something you found on pinterest to inspire a layout.  I decided it would be fun to put my first name into pinterest and see what inspiration I would find from that.  I have somewhat a unique name – Faye.  I came across this artwork by Faye Moorhouse and loved the colors and shapes. I rotated the image and came up with this….

And the Winner is...

I have always been a fan of the Oscars.  Last night my girl JLaw as I like to call her (because in my mind we are besties! LOL) won the oscar for Silver Linings Playbook.  If you haven't seen it you should.  I am obsessed with the Hunger Games so naturally I adore JLaw and all the things she does... even falling on the way to accept her oscar. I saw this meme and had to share....

Speaking of winners (and losers), the XOXO girls made ourselves a little Superbowl challenge earlier this month.  We each picked a team (naturally I am a niners fan since the niners are awesome) and then created a list of supplies that the losing team would have to use to create something.  In my world the Niners won the superbowl so I was so surprised when i actually had to pay up on this bet.  But even though that other team "officially" won, I dedicated the layout to the niners.  You can see the list of supplies we had to use... it's a doosie (is that a word? no idea how to spell that) and you can take a look at all the other bet losers creations.  XOXO Superbowl Challenge

 

 Also, the winner of the blog hop we had in January (yeah I am a bit behind) is Jean!!!
