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!

I am working on Debby's NSD challenge at Let's Scrap. You have to create 4 cards, and once you do you are allowed to enter a group where you'll find instructions to create a card holder. Here's my first card:

It was so easy to make with this great sketch, I put it together in less than 15 minutes. That is very unusual for me!!!!!!!!!!!!

El Ramo (the bouquet)

I worked on a page for Practical Scrappers' Cameos and Silhouettes feature yesterday, but, since the page is based on Jannike's sketch for this month (a beautiful sketch, have you seen it yet?), we decided to leave it for the sketch reveal at the end of the month. I had to work on a page to put next to it in the album, however, so I created another page using similar elements. This page shows the bouquet toss, and it is based on Let's Scrap's sketch for challenge NSD2011#12. I think it's a fabulous sketch, which could be interpreted in many different ways, so I am looking forward to seeing what other people will post in the gallery. If you want to play along, you have until May 31st to post your take on it.

I'm not very happy about that HAPPILY EVER AFTER sticker in the bottom left corner; the problem is I tried to place a rub-on that came with the album and said "the bouquet toss", but they are very bad quality rub-ons and it ended up looking smudged, which would be OK in other pages, but not this one, so I had to cover it somehow!

I re-printed the picture and fussy cut the bouquet to add on top of the picture for more dimension, I like the effect on the photo, it makes the bouquet pop from it.

If you want to see the page that went next to this one in the album, you'll have to come back on May 30 for the sketch feature reveal. Want a sneak peek, though? Here it is:

Wedding album - title page

I've been trying to join in the fabulous monthly challenges going on at Let's Scrap for NSD since the beginning of the month, but, having BFF at home didn't make me want to scrap a lot. She left last night (sniff, sniff) so I am back to full time scrapbooking! 

I initially thought Ana's challenge would be very hard for me. You are supposed to use black and white photos, paper and embellies, and a touch of one other colour. However, since I am scrapbooking a wedding album, I actually found it VERY easy! For this challenge I made the title page of the album.

I love the end result, I think the touches of yellow on the black and white LO make it look special. Thanks you, Ana, for this great challenge! And if you'd like to play, there's time until May 31st!
