Happy Birthday, Princess Parker!

Last Sunday was my little friend Parker's birthday, she turned three and she is having a Princess Party next weekend. DD is so excited! She has to wear a princess dress plus I bought her the most amazing princess shoes in the cheapest shop in the mall yesterday, full of pink hearts, and bling, and bows! When she was getting ready for school this morning, she couldn't resist it and ended up with the princess shoes on! It wasn't easy to make go back to the boring black trainers she has to wear for school... Here's the card I've made for Princess Parker:

It is based on this week's gorgeous sketch at Let's Scrap, and if you want to play along, you have until next Tuesday to enter your take on it. There is a yummy prize from The Scrap Room (May's Flavor of the Month kit!!!), so check it out!

Rain, rain, rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week's LO feature at Practical Scrappers is Rain, Umbrellas and Puddles. I don't have too many pics of the kind, having spent the past 6 years by the Sahara desert, and the few I have are already scrapped. I started looking at my picture gallery, home pics, holiday pics, school pics, to see if I could find one for this theme, and finally found it! You won't probably notice it, but this was a sunny day! DD had new umbrella and raincoat, and decided she couldn't wait any longer, so she went out fully equipped for the imaginary rain!

I loved this rain technique I saw in this month's CK, so I decided to lift it, but giving it a girly touch. The flower brads were just perfect for this!

Fabric and stitching

Fabric and stitching were the two elements that had to be included for this week's DT challenge at Let's Scrap. Great chance to use up some cute fabric scraps I've had for some time:

The fence, the strip and the banner are fabric, as well as the pieces behind the torn patterned paper. I hand stitched on the green strip as well as two of the buttons. There are 18 pieces of chipboard!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to miss this chipboard set when it's finished, it's just too cute. My Stockholm a,lbum is definitely getting thicker and I love just looking at how big it's getting!!! Far from finished, though. 

Practical Scrappers - Decorative Scissors/Border Punches

This week's challenge at Practical Scrappers is to use decorative scissors or border punches. I used both, as I wanted to include a variety of borders in this layout.

I glued a flower sticker onto paper, inked it, curled it, and used a big brad in the center. I decorated it with some rhinestone swirls.

I inked all the border and added bling to some of them.

I loved working with these papers, they are so much fun!
